Dream flew quickly

##08:43 Friday 20 February 2015 JST##

(dream)

In a large house with many rooms, a woman was kinda stalking me, telling me she wanted me to give her a baby; I was like no way and trying to escape her, through different interconnected rooms and department store displays. I ran down a long hallway and downstairs to where my sane friends were outside and I realized I could fly, so I flew upwards and wondered if I could fly quickly this time, and found that I could. Some high tension power lines were there, but I was able to quickly fly over them and away.

done did today

##18:05 Friday 20 February 2015 JST##

Recently I have been posting "Daily meditation threads" on /r/bitTippers, encouraging myself and others to take some time to sit quietly each day.

The posts get about an 80% approval rate, with some people saying "wow thank you!" and some saying variants of "no way jose". Fun stuff!

Today was the fourth such thread, I think.

I worked on a maze for a guy on Fiverr. It should be pretty neat when it's done. Well, the project over all should be neat. It consists of 9 postcards with a maze drawn across all of them.

His preferred recipient will get just the center card, with maze paths flowing off the edges of the cards on all sides.

Was about to work on AB when I remembered I said I would finish something for CB today. I checked the ticket in Redmine and found a new ticket with priority "Immediate", so I did that one first. It was my original mistake (ahem) so yeah.

Started working on the ticket I said I'd do. It required some image duplication (basically extend a ~1500 x 15px png to be ~1750 x 15px and add some sections to it) which will be visible through CSS.

I finished adding three sections to it and then logged the time in Redmine.

Hmm; it seems someone already updated the image! D'oh!

I downloaded their zip file (weird for a single image), annnnddd

ohhh I see why it's a zip file. 30 separate images, in jpg format, with a crappy font, and inconsistent spacing of the text on the images. Oh, and a misspelling, AND missing one of the images from the original png.

Getting feedback from this client is close to impossible, so I just buckled down and placed the 30 shoddy .jpg images on top of the .png

I actually was not able to get it pushed online, but I uploaded the .png and my .xcf (Gimp) file up to Redmine.

Right now I'm on 東横線 headed to 中目黒 for a Japanese meetup. I guess I should switch my head to 日本語モード、だね。

ちょっとドキドキですけどしょうがない、勉強しなきゃ!
