This project is taking everything I have

I’m making tons of progress, but this much work on a single project is exhausting.

Note to future Joe: you do your best work when you work on multiple unrelated projects in different tech stacks.

New Joe: bringing the snacks.

Some personal news:

TL;DR

I’m bisexual.

“I deserve to be happy” is something that I want to be true, something that I want to internalize. I can’t do that while I’m repressing this aspect of myself, so it’s time to be honest with myself and with those around me.

This tutorial helped me get started with the server https://www.electromaker.io/tutorial/blog/how-to-make-a-raspberry-pi-python-web-server

One last Tiny Memex update for today. I setup a basic Python webserver with Flask and hosted a bare bones Babylon JS scene.

Me: It is important that I take time away from the computer each weekend.

Also me: *spends Sunday learning VIM so I can write python for my Tiny Memex over SSH without juggling multiple terminal windows*

Playing with my new Tiny Memex. I have no idea what I’m doing, but it’s fun to hack around and make things happen.

This month I’m working full-time on a database project for one of my consulting customers.

I won’t have much time to work on Canvatorium or my PlayCanvas side projects.

Things will get back to normal in July and I’ll resume regular updates on these projects.

A Proof of Concept for a VR Lathe Interface.

✅ 6 points that can be dragged around a 2D surface.
✅ Generate a Lathe mesh using these points

I turned forty years old today. I spent the day petting cats and dogs, and staring into the middle distance.

I also had waffles and ice cream for breakfast.

Pretty good day.

I came up with what I think is a clever way to keep a dev log on a project using the tools that I like to use, without having those posts spoil the jokes in the project I'm building.

"Hiding public posts until the right time"

I just added super-secret blooping to my website for this project.

I can use Bloops to post updates and thoughts every day, but not one will stumble upon.

Once I launch the product, I'll push these to the main feed for anyone who wants to read about the development process.

Just finished building a prototype for a small VR thing that I plan to make over the summer.

It’s full of jokes and I don’t want to give anything away, so I won’t be posting development updates along the way like I normally do.
