Urgh lately I've been unmotivated to work on one of the classes I'm taking this semester. Perhaps it's because I've admitted to myself that I'd really rather be a teacher than work in the tech industry, and the class is something that's an extremely marketable skill (working on IBM mainframes) but isn't terribly interesting to many people outside the industry, so I've sort of lost my motivation for the class. I'm sure some of my classmates would appreciate hearing me go through the process of doing the assignments though, so I'll try to find some people to work with.

Aaaa I'm listening to this piano radio station which was playing classical music and was very nice, then it just started playing a piano cover of Mad World and I'm laughing so hard right now. It is a very nice cover, I just didn't expect it lol.

I'm taking systems programming right now and ough it's been so long since I've done anything in C, I'm having a hard time getting my head back around it. Well, I've been practicing and I think I'm starting to get it but it's rough lol.

I finally finished a project for school I'd been struggling with!! Glad to have that out of the way.

Figuring out how to render math nicely without JavaScript, found a nice article about a solution to one of the problems I ran into: Getting MathML to render properly in Chrome, Chromium and Brave

Oh nice, somebody archived the Embroidery Trouble Shooting Guide! This was a real webpage and it's iconic. I recall somebody finding out that the formatting actually looked normal in some browsers at the time it was made, but it's become a lesson on why just because your setup lets you do something like make a bunch of header tags without closing them doesn't mean you should.

There is a cat café at the beach and ough I really want to go there again!!! That is all.

Today I was thinking about how I used to play TinerMe and make avatars on Dreamselfy, so I went looking to see if there were still any good dress-up games out there and found a very nice one called Lunaii.

I'm making an Elizabethan ruff for a cosplay my cousin is doing and omg it's so ruffly *o*!! I am mathematically fascinated by how gathering tiny pleats on one side of a strip of fabric makes these big, lovely swirls on the other side. I don't think I ever posted on here about how interesting it is that a honeycomb structure basically collapses if you press against the hexagons' flat sides, but withstands more if you press on it against the hexagons' corners, but it feels like a similar property to that. Also, I just found out there's a Journal of Sandwich Structures and Materials, which is delightful.
