I want to tell you, persistence pays off. If you want to do a thing, and you feel overwhelmed by the scope, size, and complexity of the thing, be ruthless and break it down into little pieces and consume them daily.
For me, today – after main line work I'm going to finish a tutorial on #webassembly I've been watching on Udemy .
So many projects. Godot, writing, editing, publishing. Keeping your mind busy helps prevent depression from worming its way into your thoughts.
Also had to do more purging of twitter folks I follow. Getting really tired of having an arbitrary follower limit.
Today I'm focusing on work coding while reading up on more #godotengine goodness. My plan is to start building a simple HTML editor. Once it's done I'll write up a new tutorial.
Writing wise I'm going to pour more energy into Van Ella Magic and use that One Stop for Writers website.
I've been reading a lot lately from lots of different sources across the net – in different fields – about how something formerly open and free is slowly becoming proprietary and hidden behind a paywall. The “commons” is getting gobbled up by companies that know how to fully exploit it, and do not give back anything in return. Or if they do, it has so many strings attached that it's just not worth it. Do you notice that you “buy” less things now, only “rent them” or “given a temporary revocable license”. Your money is gone forever though. You don't get that money back when your license was revoked, because you paid for the license, not the item.
We need to really break out of this walled garden and get back to the free and open commons. The web is so successful because it's open and free. But companies are co-opting it.
sigh
Anyway, I'm focusing on Real Life work today, and possibly reading up on more Godot docs.
Here's a picture I took a few days ago that amazed me. There were no other clouds in the sky.
