I like using gimp and inskcape

better than I like using blender. I think. Yesterday I watched two gimp tutorials. One was about making a picture look like a comic. And the other tutorial was how to make text follow a circle. path. The only problem was that I could not rotate the text where I wanted to move it.

I have know about gimp and inkscape for years. I wish I were better at using them. I am not. I can always learn how to use them better now. So I will try to.

One thing that I read about Paul Erdos

That has always stuck with me is that he thought about math for hours and hours a day. I think it said 20 hours a day. I might have written about this before. I want to write about it again since I like it so much.

Thinking about math 20 hours a day would be better than what I think about 20 hours a day. And I am sure if I thought about any of my hobbies for that many hours a day I would get a lot better at them. And thinking about a hobby that much would surely make me feel better.

When I read that about Paul Erods I thought I wish I could think about math for 20 hours or 19 hours or however many hours it was. So cool. If I thought about machine learning for 20 hours a day I am sure I would get better at it. Same with ethical hacking.

I don’t know if I will ever be able to think about any subject for that man hours a day. I sure wish I could.

If I made a perfume

what would I want it to smell like. Maybe pineapple perfume since I do like pineapple. Or how about a perfume that smells of freshly minted bills. Now I like that. I would call it the smell of money. Now that is not a bad smell is it?

I have never thought much about if I made a perfume what would it smell like. Maybe one day I could make my own perfume or cologne. I hope I remember to do that.

I want to learn so many

things. I want to learn everything I want to learn at once. But, I don’t think that works to well for me.

So I need to figure out what is most important to me and learn those things first, then I can learn the other things.

Maybe if I try to learn everything at once I will learn nothing. If I focus more maybe I will learn more.

I figured out how to add

fonts to inkscape. I saw on an inkscape wiki that to install fonts on linux all I might have to do its got to /usr/share/fonts. So I did go to usr/inscape and then I found a folder named fonts in the inscape directory. I put a font in there and opened up inkscape and the font was not there.

So I went to /usr/share/font. I could not believe the font folder was there. In the font folder there were two other folders Default, and TTF. There is also a TTF folder in the default folder. I put the font in the TTF folder not the Default TTF folder. I opened inkscape and opened up the text and fonts dialogue and the font was there.

I was so excited. Now I can use custom fonts I get from font squirrel in inkscape. I never thought I would figure out how to install a font in puppy linux. I was wrong.

I am trying to

learn about graphic design. I figure it will help me use blender, gimp, and inkscape better.

The other day I looked up an article about t-short design. I have not read the article yet but, I did look at it and saw that there is a list of font websites in the article.

And I went to some of the font websites. I downloaded a font from font squirrel because the website says the fonts are free for commercial use.

I also learned how to use the fonts I downloaded in gimp. That was fun to learn how to use them in gimp. Which was fun.

So I hope to learn more about graphic design so I can make better projects.

Have I got anything to write about

=today. I probably said this yesterday but, I am excited to learn how to use inkscape. And I am excited to learn about graphic design.

I wish I could learn a lot faster because I want to learn a lot of things. And it takes me to much time to learn things.

Free rice website

I don’t know if I have written about free rice on this blog. But, so what if I did. I need to wwrite another blog post so I am going to write about free rice.

Originally I heard about free rice from Kim Komando. I occasionally played the quizzes on free rice. Then I forgot about the website. And then one day I was reading a excerpt of a article in the the download mit technology review newsletter about hunger.

Then I thought about free rice. I had not thought about it in years. So I signed up and and started answering the English vocabulary quiz questions.

Then I found that there are other quizzes I can play. There are latin and Spanish vocabulary quizzes. I really enjoy the Spanish vocabulary quizzles

oh, I forget to mention that free rice donates 5 grains of rice for every correct quiz answer. Right now I have over 5,000 grains of rice and I only get 1 gain for every correct answer. But, it used to be that I got five. So after you donate so many grains of rice they must change the about of rice you donate for every correct answer.

I looked at the leader board and I think the top person had donated over 1,000,000 grains of rice. Wow. That is a lot of donated grains of rice. Very cool.

I played Troy Aikman

football on internet movie database yesterday. I watched a soft drink tv video of a ranking of football games. And I think he said that Troy Aikman football was a great football game. Or should I say top tier football game.

So I liked to see if It was on internet movie database. And it was. So I decided to play it yesterday. And I enjoyed it. I still have trouble figuring out what buttons to push. I a want to play it on oatmeal breakfast plays a video game.
