  • Daily report(6/9/2022)

    Today, with the help of the team I was able to resolve the issue with the server not being able to be stood up. The solution was to use docker-compose to tear down the previously created containers, as the database lingered without doing that and that caused errors in setup which resulted in a non-viable…

  • Daily report(6/6/2022)

    Today has been slow because of being stuck with nothing more than my laptop. This has kept builds glacial and prevented most of the testing that I was hoping to do today. There is a simple explaination of the problems though, for whatever reason, when the capture() method is called on the server settings, it…

  • iRODS progress report Day 2(6/2/2022)

    Today I spent my time trying to get the configuration file to reload after I successfully ran the test suite. The first approach that I tried was hooking it into the Cron system. This has failed thus far because reloading the configuration on the main server causes use-after-frees (I think) due to contention over the…

  • 3D Printing

    I am not new to 3d printers. In college I helped to run the 3d printing lab, fulfilling requests to make things for various classes(at the time, the most promising was how it could be used to demonstrate anatomy with relatively cheap modifiable parts). That was around 2017. At the time the printer lab consisted…

  • Rich and Warm and Light and Toxic

    The sun is warm and the air is humid. The sky is a rust color overhead, it’s not a very friendly atmosphere, but hospitable enough as a facsimile. Beneath the toxic atmosphere an ecology of immense volatility blossomed and sputtered and fell prey to the sort of cycles that ecosystems have that degrade their condition…

  • Navigation failure

    The darkness between the stars is very cold. And here I sit equidistant between a star and its companion matter sphere that cannot rightly be called a star as it is practically beyond fusion. It shines like a beacon, a cleansing swath of light and harder stuff and power that I can only just survive,…

  • Returning to simple-dots-game after a while

    It has been a while since I worked on this game. And after being away for a while, I can’t really see the sources of frustration that I felt before. They were probably residual feelings from the frustration of getting it to a functional state and figuring out the system. But there’s something that was…

  • Transmutation instead of Creation and Destruction

    I’ve been thinking and it seems to me that creation and destruction are false dichotomies, as both are just transmutation, and both tend to result in a more disordered environment being created, where in this case, I am talking about disorder being a divergence from what would otherwise be. Building a house creates disorder even…
