New Song

Here are the new songs that I am listening to, and some songs that are turning into classic traditions for me.

• "怪獣の花唄 - Kaiju no Hanauta" by Vaundy
• "F1 Theme (Epic Version)" by Mathias Fritsche
• "嘘 - Uso" by SID
• "Light Years" by Stellardrone
• "Billions and Billions" by Stellardrone
• "Resonance" in the album Odyssey by Home
• "End Of The World Sun" by 65daysofstatic

The reason I included the album name with "Resonance" is for the album picture. I love it. I wish I could go back into the time of the early 60s when they were messing around with computers. It gives me a nostalgic feeling and focus.

To create software that harmonizes both time and concept. Non-linear time. The place where different languages phases in and out of existence. A chaotic field of information designed with heartfelt hands. Guiding. Directing. Organizing a frame then to the next. A place of mine that is in the virtual field of reality.

Now, I am going to list my project ideas. 

As I held off on my ideas as I organized my own creative process.

I feel confident to continue where I left off. To inhabit my new mindsets. My projects are different. I understand more of what I want to create. It's a find and weave.

• Family History software
• Video Game
• Rust code that writes Rust code
• Short story
• Animation film 3D

Evolution of my process. My own pipeline and creative outlet.

Instead of efficiency I am creating a world that reflects what I want. It's so simple, I cackle out-loud! Of course! If I am writing a story, why not create a world I wish to see? If I want to write code that feels like poetry, as DHH of Ruby on Rails evangelizes, why not? 

If I want to create games that safely expresses the darkness I went through, then do it. 

My process is all about connection. Feeling. The place where art meets structure and inner worlds come out to play. Do the work, Tyler. Release the inhibition. Do not be afraid of your own flavor. 

You are going to release the build up of information and run the time reel until it is afraid to repeat. Then rewind and remix. 

History is bound to my material. Data waiting to come alive. Just sing. New worlds warped into their own foundations.

I can be so alive and free!

Stories that live in the hidden realm of information theory, and the tangle mess of languages tightened down. Architecture is born. Drafting real with blue paper. Or perhaps with purple. Concepts live and move in with the symbols. Ephemeral that is forced down into the material world. Stay there. Stay with me.

In the early days. I was doing family history work. I thought wouldn't it be great to make my own software. At 19, I was enamored with "there is an app for that". I spent my growing up years marveling at computers. I was daydreaming about earning a living with my own apps, but when I read about a genealogist writing their own software, my desires to learn programming grew real. They came together and solidified. Which led me to a public library and I checked out my first three books on programming.

I mentioned this in one post. What I didn't reminiscence before is I also signed up for a online course that the public library offered. The class was for the Java programming language. I did not understand a single thing. 

A couple years later I went on Khan Academy and learned some HTML and Javascript. It was easier than the books I checked out. 

Before my first course in college, which was C++, I learned python during the summer. A book from No Starch Press. I am so glad I did. It helped me immensely. I also got a warm up on how to learn about programming. Which made future reading material easier and doable. Because let me tell you, the college reading was not written by someone who can write.

Very confusing text. 

And no AI to help out in 2016. 

At least search engines were searchable back then. I grew to love reading on forum websites to help solve compiler errors.

A couple semesters into the year and I had my first introduction to virtual machines. The online class booted up Linux Mint. I was so shocked at another operating system other than Windows and Mac OS. I heard briefly about Linux from my brother, but never gave it thought. 

Linux Mint had Firefox, and looked like Windows. 

After the semester finished, I grabbed my old cheap laptop, and watched some videos on Linux. I was so scared. Never did I ever use community made software, and I began to grok what open source software was. I watched several videos on installing Linux. I then figured out how to install the OS image on a usb. Then I plugged it into my laptop and booted up Ubuntu 16.04.

I began to watch videos on using the Linux terminal alongside with Mac OS command line. When I made mistakes, I freaked out. Then I reinstalled Ubuntu. I loved it. Totally free to crash and burn without judgment or long term consequences. Then learn again. I used Linux mint on bare metal, and then it was Ubuntu Mate.

I became a rebel. I did all my class courses on Linux. Except when Microsoft Word was required. If I needed Microsoft office, I pulled out my Macbook Air and did the the classwork. Everything else was on the clunky laptop running Linux.

I had a few years where I became a Linux Extremist. Became a Microsoft hater. My Dad made fun of my extreme views. 

I mellowed out after that phase. 

I still live the open source ethos. I run all my software in Linux and use opensource software. Sometimes I will use my Macbook pro or iPad, but most of the time I use Linux.

I run Ubuntu, Linux mint and Debian.

I haven't got to the point where I install Arch. I want to learn at some point.

I don't like Fedora for two reasons. Chrome based browsers run terrible in the desktop and also because of SELinux. Otherwise I would have chosen Fedora as my daily driver. I prefer DNF over apt. I like the rolling release packages.

I am not a snap hater. I use some snaps. For music, I use Youtube Music as a web app. I also run some flatpaks.

My favorite language is Rust. Ruby is growing on me for scripting and dynamic language. 

I love Blender. 

I did 3D classes in High School. I am glad my health is returning, so I can do my teenage hobby again. 

I think Blender has come a long ways with the 2.8 release. Back during 2.79, I watched the news constantly for the UI update and features that were evangelized about. Blender went from just an alternative I discovered in 2017 to becoming a new industry standard. It's great. I get so excited with every release version. Even if during all of them I was too sick to do any meaningful work. I knew that one day I will be free to create in 3D again, so I kept watch. And now the day is just around the corner.

I love working in both Godot and Bevy 3D game engines. 

Unreal and Unity is great software, but I prefer my OSS.

I have total freedom to construct my own pipeline with open source. This brings me happiness and joy. I enjoy constructing my own stuff. I enjoy the minute control My own foundations. The OSS philosophy matches up find out for yourself mindset. Or... If I build it, I will build more.

Faith is important to me. Optimism is necessary to dream. Hope coupled with study brings out works that accumulate. 

I trust in my Heavenly Father's plan for me. I believe in my Savior. I believe in tomorrow when I labor for today.
