There are so many things I want to do

I want to learn how to program. I want to learn how to use blender, gimp, inkscape, program in python, pharo. I also want to learn graphic design, fashion design, web design, how to make soap, how to make kites and fly them.

I want to drive RC cars and planes, and boats. I want to read at least 12 books a year, I want to write. What else do I want to do? Probably a lot of things I have not thought of or heard of yet.

I want to make soap, and perfume, and learn how to cook new recipes, I want to learn more about plants and botany, math, biology.

For me its always fun to learn something new. I don’t think I make much headway on my goals of what I want to learn. So if I can’t learn everything I want to that will probably be fine with me.

Enjoying thinking about all the things to learn might be good enough.

Yesterday I was using code blocks IDE

Two of the programming code blocks can be used for are c/c++. Programming in c++ made me think of the book sams teach yourself C++ in 21 days. I remember I got that book way back in probably 1999. That was 5 years before I got a computer.

Why did I get the book when I could not use it. I have no idea. But, I did read it when I got a computer. I don’t believe I did all the examples in the book and I certainly did not keep practicing or building programs in C++.

Oh, how I wish I had stuck to one language when I first got a computer. And powered through the tough stuff. I might be a decent programmer right now. Or maybe not.

Earlier this week I tried

Android studio. And I learned that its complicated. I also learned that one of the programming languages it uses is Kotlin. I had never heard of that programming language before. And another thing I learned is that I also need to know XML to develop android applications.

I want to learn how to use android studio however there are a lot of other things I want to learn before that. So I don’t know if I will ever get around to learning it.

Anyway I know that at least I can develop android games using Godot. So at least I can do that. I have not used godot that much so I want to get back to using it more. Thinking about what games I want to make is fun.

Though it is frustrating not knowing how to make the games I want to make. So I have got to get practicing godot.

I finished reading a book about John Von Neumann

called the man from the future. John Von Neumann was a mathematician among other things. In school I passed math class though I did not do very well. I only did the homework I was assigned. I never read any books about math or probably even read my math textbook.

I suppose I thought what good or what would math be when I got older so I did just enough to pass and no more. I did that with all of the subjects.

Anyway reading the man from the future makes me wish I had worked hard at math. Gotten through the textbook before the school year was out and read books about math.

It makes me wish I were great at math like john von Neumann was. Because math is cool. Who knows maybe I can learn math before I get to old.

Anyway I like math a lot more than I used it. Though I doubt I am any better at it. Only now I want to be better at math.

Today I watched css

and javascript videos. I don’t know if I will ever become good with either one. I suppose as I have written before I want to learn web developing so that I can learn hacking. I don’t have a huge desire to learn web design. I would rather hunt for bugs.

But, I have not worked with html, css or javascript enough to know if I am good at coding them. So who knows I might have a talent for web design. I highly doubt it.

So in the videos I learned about the font properties, how to include custom fonts, sizing, padding, margin, border properties.

Its sure nice that I don’t have to memorize everything otherwise I would be in trouble. Tough I do want to improve my memory so maybe it would be a good thing if I had to remember all the properties.

Today I worked on the swimming pool for my new song swimming

And I found a water shader tutorial to make the water texture. It was not that hard to make the water. Mine does not look exactly like the water in the water shader video.

I also watched a few of the concept art video’s from the concept art course.

I wish I were better using blender. I hope I will get there if I keep practicing.
