I have some ideas that I need to share before I forget them.
1) 6 axis arm FDM printer. This would work on 6 NEMA 17 stepper
motors with TMC2209 drivers on each one. the arm itself would be
3D printed however the head and plate would be Stoneware,
because I already have lots of it and need to use it. Inside the
head and print plate would be heating wires. the base plate
would be run off a timer as it's less important and isn't
required to stay hot for as long. the head however will have a
TL3163K K type Thermocouple. For the actual code instead of
calculating how the motors should move to go to where it is to
where it should be, it would create a large number of points and
figure out how it needs to move in a set space. then inside that
set space it will store a hash map of points where every point
gives the six motor locations. then we would just interpolate
between the 6 points. The main downside of this is that the
first start up will take like 3 hours as it has to go through
each point one by one and and register the points. this will
only happen once as after that it will just write it into a file
and keep it so long as that file is still there.
2) Jutbox NAS. SSDs are extreamly expansive you know what isn't?
DVDs and Bluerays. a DVD can store 4GB of data and a Blue ray
can store ~25GB. So if I just have two seprate DVD/Blueray
players, The First one is a Table of Contents the second would
be to actully read the file. Then I could essentially endlessly
have endless amounts of storage for dirt cheep. the only
limmitation would be how meny CDs I have. Also I haven't said
that whenever I request a file that is not on the current disc
then you'd wait a moment and the disc would be loaded
automatically similar to how jutboxes load music automatically.
I will be selling this jutbox NAS for 100 dollars + the cost of
materials. a quick google search later I think that I could have
up to 200 PB of data or roughly 0.1% of the internet.

I cannot wait for the end of this semester. all I want to do is
work on amicusia, and play mario kart. I started streaming this
weekend. I am really starting to hate this school just because I
don't want to do to school any more. I only have two weeks left
I think I am just sick of going to classes and not feeling good
about any of my classes. I also think being forced to be inside
when the weather is so nice out has made me relixe how evil it
is that we have to work jobs during the day. Like it is littery
75 degrees out and I am still in this stupid building and I'll
have to stay here for another 5 hours. I could just need a snack
but I think that being in the same place for 5 hours is not
condusive to a good time. Alas my shift is nearing it's end so I
must go and eat lunch. Although I say I hate this place I
actully love Calc 3. I just got 100% on my last test and really
like what this new unit is. Sadly, we don't offer a Vector
Calculus class so I can't even learn more about it after this
class. I might have to ask if it is moved to the grad classes in
which case I'll have to do alot of work to see if my
scholarships cover grad classes.

I have been drowning in work for the past few weeks. this why I
have been silent about amicusia and everything. I think I will
be caught up by the end of the week but it's alot to do so I am
unsure. I'm only writting this now to procrasitinate on other
stuff that I have to do. I haven't worked on Amicusia in a few
weeks because I don't have time any I am woriing on converting
from Java Swing to LWJGL which is alot to do and is mostly me
learning how to use it. I only have four more weeks of school
then I'll be out for the summer so I can get back to 12hr days
of working on Amicusia. I think this summer I'll record myslef
doing more of it so that I am able to see what I did easier. I
also can't ait for next semester becuse I will be taking
relevent classes. I am currentily in

I'm so borad. I've decided that I will skip my physics 2 class
today because I really want to go home. I'm aware that I am an
adult and nobody can stop me but I still feel bad about skipping
class as the professors put a lot of time into writing the
lectures. I probably will go despite how much I want to go home.
I remembered last night that I have minecraft on my computer so
I can use it whenever I am borad. I learned about LWJGL last
night so I'll have to do some research about it if I want to use
it for Amicusa and if it would help at all. I;m sitting here at
work as I write this lisenting to the gossip of people and hear
other people study. I really like my job as it is pretty easy
and I mostly just sit at a desk and wait for someone to come in.
most people here are either doing well and don't come to
tutoring. are too proud to come to tutoring, or don't know about
it. we typically get just a few regulars, my only complaint is
that the pay is worse than other places on campus but that's not
controlable as it's by the student governement. I hope all the
friends that I've made in the student governement pays off and
they raise the bidget for the tutoring center.

Imageing a ball rolling down a four dimentional hill. If you can
imagin this then it should be no problem to image a fifth or
sixth dimentional hill. By thinking of this hill it is easier to
think about how an object will act in an elctrical field. now
think of a flat surface where in the x and z directions are
constant then in the y dimention some space out there is a divit
such that if the ball was pushed closer the ball would fall into
the divet. this divet is in the negitive y direction and as the
ball falls down out three dimention situation the y coordinate
of the ball shrinks and becomes less positve. now what if we put
an positve electrical field to the bottom of this divet. we can
think of the fourth dimention as the electric field from out
three dimentional perspective the ball will apeare to leveatae.
however in reality we can say in the e (this is the letter i
will assing the fourth dimention) direction the ball would have
to roll up the hill, thus expending energy, and so it would not
naturally do it. in the exact same spot in 3D there would be a
divet (from the physical plane) and a hill (from the elctrical
field). if the depth of the divet and the height of the hill
were the exact same then the ball be equally effected by bothand
roll as if it were a flat plane. however if we increase the
streagth of our field, thus increaseing the size of the hill
then the ball would start to leveltate. this is because it is
rolling up the hill and falling down the divet at the same time
and balencing out to be the diffrence in height above the plane.
I promise I have not gone insane, yet, however this is the best
way that I can describe how one should think of an electric
field in a way that would be intuitive and easy to set up modals
in their mind. just image a ball rolling down a four dimentional
hill.

wow has it really been that long since I've written here? I have
been fairly busy, when I left off I was starting finals season
so that ate up too much time then I finally got back into
writting java again and it has felt so good to do that. I
finished Wordle for German and have released almost 10 updates
to Amicusia. I just finished color picker over in the fun
section. I also just relized that I was not even the president
of the german club when I las wrote here. Yeah I'm the president
of the german club at PFW and it's less cool than I thought it
would be all it really is is just lots of planing and filling
out forms but atleast we will do stuff this semester. I have a
really full class load and I want to do well this semester so I
don't plan on writeing here a lot. although I can tell you that
I plan on relasing new updates for Amicusia every month. while
most monthes will not have large updates this next one will as I
have finally figured out how I want to do sevral things. one
such thing is the map. at the moment you are on one large map
and the game has to move that around as you walk. this is ok but
I want the map to be larger so it fails for scaling also it is
fairly intensive have such a large file loaded in all the time.
so I rewrote it so we use seral smaller "tiles" that easyier to
scale up. I also am going to rework magic a little. basiclly I
want the function for how your final spell to be less
predictable because at the moment you could just spam earth and
lighting and get a super powerfull spell that lasts a long time.
I am going to make a four dimentional function that is probably
going to be a super gross trancendental function. then we will
couint how meny times you used each element and take that meny
darivitves. then I'll just add something that lowers the life
span the more darivitves you take.

Today is Thanksgiving. I made a lot of food and feel kindof
sick. Today I added number guesser! You put in a number and it
will guess it! this was so much fun to make it's going to be
wrong like 99.999% of the time as what it does is puts you
number in and multiplyes it by a random number, then squares and
square roots it then rounds to the neares intiger. it also has
two easter eggs, both of them are 67 jokes. I also found out how
to use the transform finction in CSS so this page will acutlly
look good soon. Tomarrow I will work on the paper and if I
finish in time I will reward myself with working on this page
again. Also I got a 96.667% on my last ENGR test despite feeling
like I failed it. None of my numbers mached up but I'll take it.

Big update today but its invisable to most people. As you might
have notices the "games" section has been changed to "Fun".
While I did have to go and change each and every page it was not
to update a single word. Rather I made a new html document
called "nav" and used a script to call the document on each
page. This means it will be much easier to change in the
fueture. Also big news for me is that I got a job! I will be a
tutor for math and science at PFW. I am vary happy as I feel the
largest part of my failure to hear back from anyone is that I
have no work ecperience and this is something I can acutlly put
down. Tommarow is Thanksgiving and I have to wake up early as
mom works that night so I need to have the food ready to eat by
2 or 3. I will be making the turkey, bread, mac and cheese,
scalloped potatos, apple pie, pecan pie, green bean casarol,
stuffing, and turky gravey. I'm so excited for the food to be
made. Also yesterday I got the oprotunity to retake my Mid term
for physics which is good beacuse I only got a 65 on it last
time. I feel much better about this because it was just
something I did in the computer lab so it didn't feel like a
test. I only have three labs left this semester I am so happy. I
really really really need to work on my essay for german but
it's so boring I can't bring myself to, maybe I will on friday
who knows. I wonder if in the fureter this site will look
outdate or sound out dated. Whenever you go back to things in
the past you alwasy get this feeling that it's so much older,
even old games like ACNL there are a hundred little things that
give away when it was made, I wonder if this will have the same
effect. Considering I speak fairly nutrally and the page is
whatever I find funny at the time I doubt it will but it's
imposible for me to know.

A few days ago I started getting my sister to watch Fullmetal
Alachemist Brotherhood. I fist watched it just befor the
semester began and it is so much better on rewatch. The first
time I watched it I watched it over the course of about 5 days.
Now I am rewatching it and it is much better as I can appreciate
all the forshadowing and world building. Major Spoilers so if
you haven't watched the show yet stop reading today. I find it
fun to see her make up theroies that get proven or disproven
fairly quickly, with the exception of the identity of the
father. When Mustang "Killed" Maria she was super upset and
called him "Roy-dolf Musk-ler" after Adolf Hitler. She was so
shocked when she found out she was alive but she still calls him
that. She already was able to guess that Hohenheim was super old
beacuse she still thinks that Hohenheim and Father are the same
people and when the Furher said that he was over 60 years old
and she thinks that the furher was created by Hohenheim so he
must already be imortal if her doesn't look like he's over 100.
She was also able to figure out that in Xerxes the people were
killed to become a phlosopher's stone. While she has figured all
of this out she has not put all of the pieces together yet so
how smart can she really be? I want to spend a little time
talking about Scar's flashback, when we see him kill the
Blackbells. To begin the sceane was all black and white. We are
at face value meant to think this is because it's a flashback
and in the past so of course it's in black and white. Then the
Amestirean soldiers enter. Their cannons and guns shooting
bright red on a grayscale world. Then we see their faces, with
peirceing blue eyes that become the focus of every sceane they
are in. I think the limited color palate and it litterly being
in black and white is ment to show Scar's limited world view. He
was litterly seeing in black and white. Then After killing the
blackbells, Amestireans who helped save him he begins to see the
color in the world. He see's the world for what it truly is, a
horrible cacophony of colors. Just like the colors he started
seeing he realized in his subconscious that the world is a mix
of people. While he continued to get his vengance for the war a
seed was planted within him. For the first time he was able to
see that not all people are ritouse or evil. That people are not
only not defined by the people they come from but their actions
in life. That's all. I hope to add a "Serious mode to the site
soon. ATP it's supper colorful which I love but I want people to
not have to deal with it."

Today I wrote a paper on loop length vs runtime in Java. The
long and short of the essay is that the time it takes follows
the form of a positive root power function. on my laptop it was
Y = 0.143552 x
0.665595
I found this by useing the same code to randomize a number then
output it in a for loop only changning the length of the loop
each time. It was pretty easy just collect the data and anyalize
it. I am still procrastinating on my german essay that is due
soon.

Today figured out how I will make the perenthesis function on
the one calculator to rule them all. This is also the first note
I've made so I don't know how to do this yet. After I write this
I'll have to re-write it in german, I think this will help me
with german grammer more if you see any mistakes, in german not
english, then please tell me! Basicly the way perenthesis works
is it's a boolean the flips from on or off starting on off. then
when you press the button to turn the perenthesis on the
perenthesis array will write it so number_number_tracker for
that number is written as a one. then in the actuall calculation
of it, the calculator will run through the numbers finding where
the perenthesis starts and ends then will do thoses numbers
first then it will change out the others for 0 and op for 0 then
do the math like normal. Ex the equation 5+(2+4-2)-5+7 imput [5,
2, 4, 2, 5, 7] op [0, 0, 1, 1, 0] and perenthesis [0, 1, 1, 1,
0, 0] => do the math from positions 1-3 first so 2 + 4 - 2 = 4
then change the number in the first position to 4 and the number
in the second and thrid positions to 0 as well as their
operation to 0. then I can use the same code as from the big
number calculator.
