Charity shop find

Found this in a charity shop a while ago, thought it would make a good solder practice kit. Not much to it.

Maths, Learning, growing

Mathematics is a creative thing, it is also philosophy. Patterns. My programming, design and development is all based on the patterns I see in thing. 

Problem solving, whether it is solving an equation, or creating an algorithm, or experimentation using the scientific method is how I make sense of everything.

It makes me sad when I hear people telling me how proud they are of not being able to do or enjoy maths.

Once I have the time I hope to help spread the joy I get from solving problems. Failing and trying again until you have the solution. Failing is part of the learning process. We need more support for failure, because it is important to learning new things.

OK, will shut up now.

New day, time to rebuild

Had a terrible nights sleep, lot on my mind. Intending today to have a day of learning. Few Openlearn things, maybe try some certs or something. Have a large backlog of reading, maybe that.

Also found the original Kingdom of Riches PHP code (2006) and an empty template DB, which i have already installed to mariaDB. The whole thing needs a rewrite, and modernising. Have a ton of ideas for this. Then decide if worth getting hosting for it and see if anyone wants to play, like the old days. It ran from 2006 to about 2010, so maybe its an old genre now. PBBG still my favourite way to make forever friends.

Than have some 6502 and z80 study. Maybe do some maths study, and maybe some C++ stuff to get my hand back in. Always helps when my confidence has been knocked like the last few months.

As said before onwards and upwards.

Things end

So it seems I am now out of work. Its an end to that work, but the start of this. Will need another job, so looking, but in the downtime while I look for something new I will be working on the sites, projects and planning for this idea.

Its still only me that knows what it is all about, but it will slowly come clear as time goes on, though that maybe faster than expected since I need to pay the bills. No problem, sometime life throws these things at you to give you a nudge towards your real goals.

Laters, fingers crossed for me.
