Awhile again I said I wanted to learn speedcubing

Well I still don’t own a cube and even if I did I would not know how to solve it. So hopefully this year I will get a cube and watch a video or read a book so I can figure out how to solve it.

I am sure years ago I owned a rubik’s cube though I don’t have one now. I probably never spent much time trying to solve it.

You know I like it because to me solving cubes for a hobby seems like it would be cheaper than a lot of hobbies such as buying sports cars or supercomputers.

So I will see if this year I start speedcubing. I hope I do.

I have not worked with godot much this year

At the end of last year I used godot more. And I want to get back to using godot.

I figure I want to learn how to make assets with blender, and krita, and then I want to make game music with lmms, And then I want to put the games together with godot.

I want to start off making the game of my dreams. For me using godot is hard so I have to build up to making the game I want to make.

So I need to make a lot of games and practice using godot a lot. I hope I get back to using godot.

I made a banner for my youtube channel with krita

I made a youtube banner for my Computer graphics novice youtube channel. The wood and paper texture are from images I made with leonardo.ai.

Its the first project I have made with krita unless you call cropping and deleting backgrounds projects. I am proud of myself. It makes me laugh writing I am proud of myself. Maybe I should say that to myself more often.

I learned how to duplicate layers and use drop shadow. I did not think the drop shadow worked. Then I realized maybe I have to check the box to the left of the words drop shadow. Then it worked.

I also learned how to use the love and transform tools which I have never used before in krita.

You know making projects is fun. I should do it more often.

One subject I want to get a lot better at is math

One of my favorite mathematicians is john von neunann. I remember I first heard about him from reading a book about the hydrogen bomb.

I just think it would be so fun to know how to write proofs, and solve math problems. Back when I was in school I did not care if I got better at math. I did as little math as possible.

Now I wish I had worked harder at math because I think math is cool. I have read several books about math.

And I have gone through some of the courses on khan academy having to do with math.

So hopefully this year I will work on math. And I have always wanted to read a book that has to do with solving math problems with pharo. The book is called Numerical Methods.

And I read that I need math if I want to do machine learning. And I am sure math would be handy for lots of other things. It would also give me something to think about. A challenge. And I like challenge.

There are a lot of things in blender that I am not good at

materials, textures, compositing. And I am sure I am missing something or three. But, there is one thing I have not used much at all. Blender grease pencil.

Back when I started using blender at version 2.42 grease pencil was something that was used to draw in blender. Or was it make notes or annotations.

Anyway all the way back then grease pencil was not about drawing 2d and doing animal.

So grease pencil is another thing I want to learn about with blender. I have tried a paper plane animation and watched a grease pencil modeling video. But, I don’t believe I have completed a model with grease pencil.

So I want to make more blender 3d and 2d projects.

I have wanted to try ethical hacking for years

Probably about 3 years ago I read through web hacking 101 and read a few pages of 2 of owasp’s books about web hacking and mobile hacking. 

I even got burpsuite and zap running on slacko 5.7. Though it was not the newest version of burpsuite. At the time it was the newest version of zap.

I set both burp and zap to run with palemoon because at the time palemoon was the newest browser I could use on my computers.

I watched some hackerone and bugcrowd tutorials. But, I never dug deeper into learning about bugs.

I supposed ethical hacking is like a lot of things I want to learn. I only go through tutorials. I have never done any hacking or tried to improve my skills. I have done a CTF or 2 at hackerone. I even tried hackthiswebsite.

I also read 2 or 3 books about ethical hacking. Well they were about hackers.

But, I still have not tried to find a bug. And I think trying to find a bug would be so fun. I mean in my wildest dreams I don’t think I could ever find a bug and submit it as a report and get payed for it.

So I hope I learn more about ethical hacking and one day get payed to find a bug, I will see what happens.

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.
