Flex over

Well let's be honest. I did not achieve my goals for this time off. Sure I have learnt a lot about blender and the house has come a long way. Progress was made, but I fell long short of the goals I set. Back at work after easter and although currently nothing lines up things are looking better. The last two days I have sorted through my holiday momentos a little and finally catalogs them properly, they look much better than they have and it was good remembering aspects of past holidays with T.

Jan and George came over for a visit around lunch, had basic plans to go to do, but dropped them when it got to late. Got Alex some swimmers and a beach hat, along with his first pair of thongs. In the afternoon we took him to the beach near mums and into the water, we only went ankle deep, but he loved it. About 26 degrees

Mum dropped us off at south land today, we got our sim cards sorted, did a bit more shopping then walked home. We went past a gum tree filled with parrots eating the red gum nuts.

Thursday day 1 Aus

We went to bed about 3am, and woke around 9. ...

Handbrake

Just got back from a cabin trip with work, I got some ideas on encoding for iPad and found the app called handbrake. It's 2 am local time here now, but I am going downstairs to see if I can get some Tv recordings onto the iPad. 640x360 seems to be enough, I wonder what I can fit on the 16Gb iPad.

No blender today, not much of anything to report, moved some files around, backed up photos again, went for a walk and did some tidying in the house. I am undecided what I should do on the weekend, on the one hand I would love to try downhill finally, on the other I don't want to risk any injuries so close to the trip down under. Depending on where we are I think a nice walk or two with the camera will do.

I dropped Alex off so late today that he went straight out to play. Went home and read the discussions on materials, textures and uv mapping/ unwrapping but decided the prac would have to wait to tomorrow. Went for a walk around sognsvann instead as the weather was so great. Tomorrow I will do some data moving stuff, putting the family photos on a drive for the trip down under.

Writing this tue morning... Yesterday I read a bit of the blender chapters on rigging, skinning and shape keys, but decided to skip over the prac side of those chapters to start on textures and materials Tuesday. Last night I went for a walk trying to take some photos with the 450D but the weather was not as nice as Sunday when I went out with Alex unfortunately. Probably would have slept better for the walk, but for the way Alex was up half the night. Little man refused to settle, and then slept in. I ended up waking him up at9 this morning. Perhaps he's a b person after all.

96 Friday Alex @ home

Had a nice day with my son today. He's a great kid.

94 wed

Ended up staying up too late last night, reading online mostly. Went for a walk today and fixed up my work computer bitlocker issue. Feel like I have a fog in my head, not sure if it is dehydration, depression, sleep deprivation, malaise, old age, eye strain or lack of exercise, but something is hampering my ability to concentrate. Tomorrow will hopefully be better.

93 Tuesday.

The morning was spent getting the house ready for the cleaner, then getting terese and Alexs visas ready, and a bit of other shopping. The afternoon just disappeared, watched a bit of tv and helped terese try to find a solution to recover/ migrate the tags she has spend hours and hours including on the photos. Problem is her old computer has done them in such a way that they are In a local database instead of in the image, meaning they will be lost when she migrates to a new pc, and that no one else can use the tags. Read a bit more about rigging this evening, but thinking I will skip that chapter to move on to the more relevant chapters that follow, considering how little 'me time' I have left. I found a list of things that I wanted to do during this time and I have achieved more than I thought, I hope to write something more solid on that a bit later.

92 Monday

My first day off in ages. Spent a few hours in he morning alcohol wiping toys, then another few hours cleaning my drop box account of Nokia stuff. Once that was done I was able to play a bit with HTML 5, but only a basic tute. Yesterday I managed to brick my work pc by resizing a bitlocker partition, hopefully work has the recovery key on record. Stupidly I had not made one of the new pc yet. Whoops! Luckily nothing lost, as the repartitioning was going to be step one of what I wanted to do with it. Anyway after HTML I went to do shopping, pick up Alex and terese, made dinner and watch tv. I am a total morning person at the moment, if I don't get into a productive rhythm and do something in the morning, I am beat by evening. Nighty night.
