June ProgBlog #4: and I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids and your darned dog!

avatar

And by "gotten away with it" I mean "finished" and by "dog" I mean "dogs and cats" XD

I've spent this entire week ironing the tail. Also found this helpful setting

and turned it on after actually reading the tooltip while wondering what it did. I'd been thinking it would be helpful in high poly situations like this if stuff could just be rendered when it was actually in the viewport and smarter people than me obviously thought it would be a good idea too XD

Got about this far from the end yesterday

and then had to leave half an hour earlier than we normally would for gymnastics because @pixietrix needed to find the perfect birthday card for the friend she was spending the weekend with. If I hadn't had to make some extra trips on Thursday I probably would have gotten at least up to the paddle done if not the whole thing.

Then today @gorc had small child classes (level 1 and 2 boys) to help with in the morning and we pretty much went home to change before shooting to a friend's place for lunch.

After a pleasant few hours we went home and I crashed out in bed and played stupid phone games and did Duolingo and Memrise (I'm not sure that learning five languages at once is the best idea but that's what I'm doing, to some value of learning).

Where do the dogs and cats factor into all this?

They're just cute and irresistable and distracting. That is all.

This post also appears on my blog.

People who have been watching me for a while may or may not remember that I was saving up steem to get "steem cats" and stuff for them (incidentally this is how I attached myself to @meesterboom, I think he saw the footer message about it on one of my posts at the time and randomly sent me 10 steem towards them when he didn't know me from a bar of soap). When I had "enough" (which I think was the equivalent of AU$200 at the time) that was my one and only cashout (done in two transactions, one test with LROS' minimum transfer amount and then the rest) and got cat supplies.

The cats however took longer in coming and rather than the mother and baby pair I'd been hoping to adopt from Cat Haven, they came from a friend who used to work in rescue. The advantage there was they were free. The twist is, they're actually @gorc's cats rather than mine (though they still sit on my lap and purr when I'm working XD). He is supposed to write about them but he's being a gangly slacker.

Thanks for looking! ^_^

Steem cats! @meesterboom loves cryptopussy < which is one of the Bond movies and boomy fancies himself a bit of a Connery-esque character.

I'm not quite good enough to translate effortlessly and I think I'm missing a chunk of those words, so I hope you were asking about the languages XD

It's actually six at the same time not five (I know how to count really XD), they are Chinese (pretty sure it's Mandarin as I know people that speak Cantonese and the pronunciation on the words that I'm familiar with are noticably different), Japanese, French, Portuguese (which is apparently Brazilian Portuguese which is perfect for me as that was the one I wanted), Malay and Sona (a constructed/artificial language). The latter two are the ones on Memrise as Duolingo is annoyingly fussy with its courses.

Interesting work. Be happy that the dog was distracting in a nice way. My neighbour's dogs are a living hell, they keep barking non-stop all day long and sometimes they don't stop barking all night as well. There are some nights I can't sleep at all. 😖

Thanks :)

We had one of those dogs in the area before, not the most pleasant x_x they seem to do that when bored/lonely, are the neighbours usually out of the house? Have you spoken to them about it?

I was lucky if it was only one... but there are like 10 or 15 of them. 😤

10-15 neighbours with barking dogs or 10-15 dogs on the neighbour's property? D:

They're scattered around the neighbourhood, all in a 300 meter radius. It's so tiring...

Oh great, so they're either stray dogs, community dogs or you have people that let them run around at night. That's definitely a lot harder to deal with x_x perhaps you need to investigate soundproofing options for your sleeping area DX

Awww they're so adorablee!

Also found this helpful setting...

I love finding new tools/options, but it hurts when I realize how many hours I would have saved if I knew it sooner 😂
