Having an alright few days- bit of an anxiety wave, but not unmanageable.
Plus we have a project as distraction. Threw together a LAN Minecraft
server on the Pi and it works better than expected, especially using
Purpur to further optimize. Really is painless to set it up, just make
sure you've got a recent enough Java runtime, run the jar with that,
agree to the EULA, tweak the config if desired, and run the jar again.
Boom, server. Glad it was that simple. Now to try to convince our mom
to allow port forwarding. We live with her because college is expensive
and we struggle to be independent thanks to executive functioning issues,
so anything like that has to go through her, and her initial reaction
wasn't positive but also was still in the realm where we can do research
to show her that it's okay. Would like to make the server accessible to
a few close friends (whitelisted) when they're not on the LAN.
In other news, one week until the college quarter starts, and biology
looks like it's going to be brutal. More chemistry than biology. Should
be interesting. No idea what to expect from the other two classes yet
since the professors have yet to provide any information, but the biology
professor is ahead of the game and put information out last week. She
seems very kind.
Been trying to write out the history of our daydream world (also called a
paracosm). It's an endeavour- this world has been going night after night
for at least a decade of our life, almost certainly longer. I'd guess it's
closer to 15 straight years now, and the in-world history is in the realm
of centuries. It's a lot to write out but I want to have it down somewhere.
It's worth writing down and it means a lot to us.
Oh, typing speeds are also on track to reach our goal of 30 wpm by the 20th.
Currently around 20-25 wpm, closer to 25 most of the time when not
distracted. Should be able to hit the goal, no problem.
