What did you achieve today?

Post Reply New Topic

Did more work in the garden.

Just finished and submitted an RAI on a client budget request.

Checked the mail. Fed the cats their evening serving of canned food. Looked on here.
And that's about it thanks to the ME/CFS kicking my butt today.

I pretty much just built a home supercomputer.

Well it's kind of a fuzzy distinction between workstation & absurd overkill, this is the latter. I should be able to process terabytes of 3D scan data in hours as opposed to days, run basically any video game in existence and run numerous virtual computers inside my machine. I could also loan out the graphics processor to Folding@Home, the largest distributed supercomputing cluster there is, which is currently focused on Covid research.

To be fair I'm just a systems code nut & not a computational bio-sciences PhD. I basically taught myself to hack when I reverse-engineered a virus I got blamed for on my mom's Windows XP machine. It really snowballed, I've worked at Microsoft for about five minutes and a few pennies but now I'm focused on 3D software engineering & engineering software.

It sounds like a very accomplished talent!! Good for you, and congrats on finishing your supercomputer!!

I've made it two days in a row without a nosebleed.

Colored my hair yesterday (or was it the day before?). It's closer to my pre-gray natural color now than it's been in thirty years.

manage to keep myself going, despite rheumatoid arthritis.

survived another night of having meth lab exhaust fumes leaking i to my house, causing burning eyes and nose and upper lip numbness . and naseau , have yet to see the police bust the house.

hips and back eventually allowed me to get a few hours of sleep.
