I figured that, now that I'm back home, I'd take maybe .5-1hr per day to learn a little python because it's handy. Today's task: install the stuff I need to go through the Jake VanderPlas book on python for data science. I think I've successfully done so. I won't verify until tomorrow, though, when I actually give it a whirl: I've gone through my allotment of time!

Slowly getting back into programming
Thanks for the advice before. I've forgotten it. Just learned that Crestor causes high blood sugar and memory loss. It is a chloesteral pill I've been on for like a decade. It may be a cause of many of my problems. But anyway I got into ASP 3.0 programming with MS-Access, MySQL, and VBScript.

I gave my opponent a gift. I had a winning position (Rybka confirms), but it was a little technical. Then, instead of playing a winning move, I played a losing move that I had seen, on the previous move, as immediately losing. I immediately lost.

I had a decent weekend.
I think, since I have some time, I might try to learn a little more programming, since it will be handy to be able to write something a little better than the small scripts I'm capable of doing.

And now for something completely different
I want to turn things around for my life. Try to do better for myself. Maybe if I write a different sort of diary here it might make a difference.
