Miss me?

It has been about three weeks since my last entry, since then I have modeled a plane, made my very first animated boat for my son, spent time in Cambridge with my sister, walked through a concord, walked under a Sr 71 blackbird, gotten a cold, helped Alim bed Liliana, and gotten pink eye. This afternoon I am of to work to catch up with the latest in the Process and information management team, and hopefully get some ideas for what to work on for the second part of my Flex Leave while seeing what people have been working on in my absence, from the last update I listened to on Tuesday, it sounds like we are winning some nice sized contracts.

Monday Day ? Blending

I have, in all honesty, been spending way to much time on my computer games. Reversed the trend today and had some pretty good blender time. Spent a few hours doing a tute from a book, then redid it again in half the time after dinner. Both attempts attached. Still early days, but some of the many keys are starting to become familiar.

Day? Update

Ok, a couple of changes. Context switching, even once a day doesn't seem to be working for me, so I think I will work one week at a time. This matches better sprint suggested lengths and hopefully will let me buckle down more than I have been doing. It is amazing how much harder it is to get study into a routine now, as opposed to five years ago... I wonder what has changed ;). Also instead of effort based scheduling I should switch to deliverables, it is not enough that I spend x hours, I find it all to easy to be distracted and then 'tick off' the time anyway. Today for example I finished a chapter from my blender book, I will do the same tomorrow. Pic attached, again it doesn't look like much, but today I worked on understanding the animation system, the core bunch in the pic is ringed by three spheres that circle around on various types of animations. Tomorrow's pic should look a bit more interesting.
