I don’t have a microphone so I was thinking maybe I could use a text to speech program

to make comments in my youtube videos and twitch streams. So the text to speech program that I have works. And the audio is recorded with obs.

So now all I have to do is record a video with it. To see how I like using it while recording a video. At least it something new for me to learn.

I tried to install espeak on xenial puppy linux. When I installed espeak in slackpuppy 5.7 it was easy to install. Go figure. I thought espeak would be easy to install in xenial. But, it turned out not to me.

Maybe one day I will use espeak again.

I recorded a youtube video using simple screen recorder

I was looking at mtpaints documentation so I decided to record a video of me using mtpaints paint tool.

I had trouble finding the different brushes and the settings tool bar. And I could not figure out how to make a sold color. The I looked at the patters and realized the first pinattern is a solid color.

So I know how to do something in mtpaint. And I recorded a video with simple screen recorder.

Simple screen recorder is simple to use. One day I will get a microphone. I do like to talk and talk and talk.

I used krita almost everyday to

crop images, remove backgrounds, and erase what I could not remove any other way. I think I like it better than gimp or inkscape.

At first I did not think I would be able to learn how to do anything in krita. I was wrong. at

I hope that I learn how to make images with krita. Something I never really learning to d o with gimp or inkscape.

So that is what I want to do next learn to make images with krita. Specifically pixel art for games.

I learned how to look for packages with puppy package manager

I had no problem using the package manager with slack puppy 5.7. Though I could not figure out how to see the packages in xenial or fossa puppy.

I figured out how to solve the problem by clicking on a package in the pane to the right of the category list in the package manager which is the package pane. Then when I searched in the search field I saw a list of packages with the name I had looked up.

Also to get rid of the package I selected I clicked on the package in the package pane. So it was an easy fix.

This year I hope to wrote at least one blog post daily

I used to post to unplayable games everyday. That was over 2 and a half years ago. And you know what I like writing a blog post daily. It gives me something to thinking about. What am I going to post about today? Is what I wonder when I am thinking about what to write about on the blog.

I think last year I said I wanted to post everyday. That did not happen. I hope this year is different. I hope it is.

Thinking about modeling world war II planes

or really world war II anything in blender gets me excited. Though I also want to make games with godot 4 and also I want to play games.

Yeah I also want to play games about world war II. I don’t know if I have time to do all those things.

Get better at blender, godot, playing video games. Oh, and there are a lot of other things I want to learn.

I read somewhere about Warren Buffet saying write down 25 things you want to do. I am not sure exactly what he called them. Maybe he said write down 25 goals. Then throw away 20 of them and keep 5.

Then after you accomplish those five goals you can do some of the of the other ones. I know this is not exactly what he said.

So I have been thinking what are the top five goals or things I want to do in life. 

I came up with cooking, growing plants, making video games, learning about astronomy and learning about world war II.

I think those are my top 5 goals. If I were to add 6. The sixth goal would be get better at math.

I tried simple screen recorder a little bit

I know how to use obs a little but, I also think it would be interesting to learn how to use simple screen recorder. Since I had never tried it before.

I also looked at the documentation and was surprised to learn that I can also stream on twitch with simple screen recorder. I did not know I could stream on twitch using it.

The video I recorded was not very long. So I hope to learn to use simple screen recorder better.

This year so far in blender I am modeling a

1935 Yokosuka jean. I don’t remember if I finished a project in blender last year. I doubt it. Unless it was a tutorial. This year I want to make my own projects in blender.

For the the modeling part in blender is not so bad. Its the materials and texturing that I have a problem with. All those material nodes.

However I do enjoy making projects in blender so this year I hope I make more projects. I like learning about world war II so I want to make models related to world war II. So I hope I model lots of military cars, planes, trains, and whatever else related to world war II and military I can think of.

There are so much I need and want to learn when it comes to blender. And I can’t wait to learn the program better.

And another thing I am not very good at is python scripting in blender. Well I am not very good at writing python in general. I think that know how to use python with blender would make me a better blender user so I will put that on my list of things to learn.

So much I want to learn this year and only 365 days to do it. Well its less than that number of days now.

I want to get better at machine learing

I have gotten though most of the courses on kaggle but, I had to use the hints to do it. I wish I had struggled with the problems more instead of using the hints when I got stuck.

So hopefully this year I will go through the kaggle courses again and other machine learning courses and read lost of code from notebooks on kaggle so that by the end of the year I will be better at machine learning.

I don’t know when I first got interested in machine learning but, it probably started with reading machine learning for dummies first edition.

I think it came out in about 2016. I have had a kaggle account since then but, I have not done much with it.

So I hope that this year I will get better at machine learning. Because I think machine learning is so neat.

It was xenial64 puppy on one of my laptops

that I got I think it was blender 2.83 to start up on a computer that I had been only able to run blender 2.79 when using slacko puppy 5.7.

I was excited because I was able to use a blender version with the new interface. 

I wonder how I was ever about to use blender 2.42. Not that I used that very much. But, blender 2.42 compared to blender 2.80. Well the new interface is a lot easier to use. Which might be why I use blender more than I used to.

I think in blender 4.0 its easier to add reference images than it was in blender 2.42 or blender 2.79 for that matter.

Anyway when I tried to render an image with blender 2.83 well my computer seemed to slow up. So I don’t know if it is capable of rendering an image with evee.

At least I can use blender to model on my old laptops. I guess I will have to be satisfied with that.
