Weekly Notes #4
Mar 16-22
It's has been 2 months since I moved to Sydney!
Went to a park, saw a rose garden and massive trees.
Listening to
- Erik Hall - Canto Ostinato
- Hania Rani - Non-fiction Piano, Cool contemporary piano
- Hania Rani - Sentimental Value
- 戴佩妮 - 水中央，2003, I'm feeling nostalgic
Reading
- I finished Glory in Death in a week. I enjoyed it and spent a good time commuting with it. I really want to continue reading the 3rd book, but I need some self control and not binge reading the series. I decide to read something else and come back to book 3 later.
- Picked up a new book and a new author. I am reading Alphabet of Thorn by Patricia A. Mckillip. It is a fantasy about books and translation, which reminds of Ursula K. Le Guin's Voices in the Western Shores series. So far I really enjoy the story, the world building is easy to understand, and I just generally like nerdy FMCs!
- I am reading The Creative Tarot by Jessa Crispin. I am new to tarot cards and only got my first deck at the beginning of this year. What fascinates me is seeing tarot as a process for creative story telling.
Playing
- I learned something new! I watched Hikaru no Go both the TV and entire manga years ago, but never know how to play. Recently I heard that my 6-yr old nephew is learning Go and attending competitions, and he seems very passionate. I finally learned the basic rules and playing it on the Conquest of Go, a beginner friendly guided game.
Tech
- A personalised Rhinoscript for project layer structure
- I have been using Rhino since Rhino 5, and I never managed to organize my own layers neatly. In work we now almost work exclusively in Revit. When I was a student my Rhino files were always messy, and now after so many years I finally decide to make a nice and clean template, and maintain it while working on the model. It is nothing really original, and it probably should happen like 10 years ago. Thanks to Claude I don't need a template but a simple script.
