i'm just not being paid to do it and i have a full time gig, that's all
i'd love to have such luxury because the absolute trash i've seen made me sad and almost made me mad enough to spend an evening doing a design, one of them was almost good

Ok.
i spent most of this weekend working on some changes to some stuff for part of a nostr storage project, as well as suddenly having a new pc, and having nightmarish problems with the buggy UEFI on my laptop and the bugs with AMD video cards on linux kernel version 6.x (solved with kernel 5.15 trusty ol' 5, ironically more stable)
i might just be a bit frustrated because it was a really rough weekend actually, not even sure how i'm gonna deal with tomorrow but i'll be ok i guess...
my health keeps getting better and so does my mind
maybe next weekend i'll have some spare time
it has seriously been bugging the shit out of me how bad... i could do 4 better designs in 2 hours than almost anything i saw, none of these people have spent any time doing logo design work
idk who designed the bitcoin logo but it's a perfect example: simple
none of the designs were simple
it's surprising how hard it is to do something simple

i use the language he co-designed too, and it smooths out so much of my work i love the guy, and his wife is a fantastic artist
ah yeah, to top off that list of things, and honestly it's been a dense weekend... last 6 hours or so i've been fighting with google reCaptcha and trying to establish a new steam account so i can play games on the new hardware... which is an onboard video, and plays a 2017 game adequately at low res/settings, a favourite, and i haven't played hardly any games in months
i just wanted a pepsi
and they wouldn't give it to me
Covid killed my brain for a good year. Just now maybe can program again. Wanna see your awesome logo. Yo. Put it down.
well, i'll get there, i have to focus on my work or my boss will get upset, this weekend i hardly felt like i had any time to myself, about an hour today, out of the whole weekend wasn't me fighting with bullshit or doing other people's work, which i don't mind, i was happy to do that stuff just ... urgh. i didn't get much of a relax really
Been caffeinated for days getting back into the dev grind with a new set of tools. Making a nostr client in my “spare time” with the hopes of maybe getting it sponsored to (possibly?) fund itself. #inthetrenches #digin #proofofwork #selfsoveregnty
yeah i've been dialing way back on the caffeine personally, now i let myself go get one espresso from the nearby cafe and that's it, no more and only one in the morning
sleeping wayyyyy better, doing way better work too
Vitamins changed the game for me regaining ability to focus. (Plus caffeine lol)
yeah, the reason why bullet coffee is a thing is because the caffeine stimulates fat metabolism - actually, ephedrine is better at this but that chemical has basically been banned almost everywhere because it increases blood pressure so much and everyone has heart disease these days
