Last stretch. Part 5

 Welcome. Welcome everyone.

Today marks the second to last one entry for this challenge. I could go on and on about how was my experience and what I learned, but I'll leave that for tomorrow. What does that mean for this entry then? Exactly. Rambling time.

You ever had one of those "Aha" moments in the middle of showering or about to sleep? Well, that's exactly what happened to me this morning. You see, I was advancing on my practical work, specifically doing design work when I was hit by a mental block. No matter how much I thought about how to advance I just couldn't.

Fortunately my line of work has made me inure to these kind of situations. Rather than trying to bulldoze through it I closed all my work related windows and started a binge of YouTube and light gaming. Now, I'm not saying you should drop everything the very time you encounter some difficulties, but I know myself and have my times measured enough to pace myself right.

Anyway, as I mentioned before I had an "Aha" moment, though this time it was going shopping of all things. Kind of annoying because I got hit by a car almost two times, but worth it.

See, it seems I was quite wrong of an assumption I had of previous work. Not to the point I had to scrape anything, no. In fact everything until that time was correct, I had made no mistake in the work itself. What I did was I had ended up with the absolutely wrong assumption in my head that the designs covered X and Y case, when in reality I had covered only X case. It's not that the designs were bad, is that I went ahead of myself to the next step and the moment I tried to make a decision I couldn't because I did not have the information I assumed I had.

TL;DR. I goofed up and I need to work a bit more on the first step before I actually advance to the next.

Some more pointing. Part 2

 One new week, one new post. Hello everyone. How have you been? Here is a super small one. Today I'll talk a bit about the, probably, most famous spear in fiction. Gungnir. Gungnir is the famous spear wielded by Odin, God of thunder, wisdom, war and a myriad of other things. He is known for disguising himself and posing as an old traveler. The spear is said to had been made by Dwarves, and it's mentioned that Odin carved the knowledge of runes that he obtained from the Yggdrasil through the spear.  In popular culture, I think the whole norse pantheon is very well known. Even way before the explosion of popularity of Marvel, Norse was on of those mythologies that everybody knew a bit about. I remember even at school we touched on the subject with the Volsung saga and the Ring of the Nibelung. I'd wager the time we spent in these topics in class was only second to the overabundance of the Greek mythology. If you are a fan of RPGs, you have probably gotten across references to...

Some more pointing. Part 3

 Hello, and welcome again to a new episode of pointy things, where I ramble on and on about things in a superficial manner, to fulfill a self-imposed challenge I'm too stubborn to drop. Snarky today, you say? Well, better than repeating same introductions for thirty days straight won't you say? Anyway, pleasantries aside, today I bring another short mention of a pointy thing. And speaking of which, I'm really grateful with past me for using a non-specific name for this series, as this one may be stretching the rules we've played with for the previous week. A long time ago, in this same galaxy, I was once a high school student - cue gasps at the revelation. One of the many subjects we touched upon was of course literature. I have fond memories of most of my teachers at that time, and the literature ones are no exception. It was with one of them that I learned for the first time about things outside the classical Greek lit and glanced at the massive world of ancient India...

Some thoughts

August is almost done and things seem to stay the same. 2020 has been a rough year, and I have no trouble believing things will only get worse. It doesn't need to be this year; I have no hope for the next decade. Awfully pessimist some of you will say, but I prefer to be pleasantly surprised than keeping my expectations up. Doom predictions aside, today I just wanted to ramble for a bit. That's another benefit I gained through these posts, it forces me to organize my ideas and structure my opinions so I can commit them to (digital) paper. Anyway, these days I've relived many memories I have. While I introspect frequently, rare is the case when I actually go down the memory lane. I tend to focus on the present, on the person I am at that instant and who I want to be in the future. I chalk it up to a combination of not so fond childhood - nothing worthy of a drama series, just some bad highlights - and my own memory problems. I kid you not, my head resembles a non-stick pan t...
