OUSHI THE BLOGGER

I've started to prioritize health again and I almost certainly spend more time researching routines and calculating macros than I do actually working out. Paralysis by analysis is without a doubt my greatest weakness. I want to do everything as efficiently as possible, and if I can't then I just won't do it at all until I figure out how to.

I feel I've suddenly developed a heightened sense of taste. It took me a while to really notice, but it's now been consistent enough that I don't think it was just a weird tasting piece of food. Started with a soft taco at Taco Bell then an inedibley odd tasting double cheese burger at burger king, and just a few minutes ago a regular Halloween candy sized packet of M&M's. Very odd.

I applied for a job as a digital forensic examiner with the local police department. I'm pretty sure I'm unqualified. My penetration testing / hacking skills are getting better every day, but I haven't spent much time learning forensics tools. In any case, I thought it was worth a shot. I could potentially suffer a fairly dramatic cut in pay, but there's over time opportunities and my potential to earn more in the long run is greater. It would be a job firmly placed in the infosec world and I think the significance of the work would make it worth it. Still...a pay cut is rough right now. I'm comfortable where I am, but I'm not really going anywhere and I really need to always be moving upward to be happy. It's all likely not worth the amount of thought that I've put in to it. I think it will be a job with a lot of applicants, and I think most of them will be better candidates. I did get called for a phone screening. That's round 2 of a multi-round pr...

Finally got that tic tac toe game to work. Mostly.  tictac.py

I’m working in this tic tac toe game in python. it's nothing special, but it's relatively complex considering where my python skills currently are. I have all the functions written and working, but I’ve yet to figure out how to all make them together. it's frustrating because I thought I was so close...but I still really enjoy spending time on this stuff. I don't know if I enjoy it so much because I enjoy the logical algorithmic thinking, or because I like to do stuff and watch that stuff work the way it's supposed to. It's a little of both I think. the logical thinking goes without thinking, but I find the making stuff work part manifests in my life a lot. for example, I like working on my car...or at least I did when I had a car, I cared about...and I think I like it for the same reason. figure out the problem, diagnose the cause, do some stuff, and then watch the car work. that last part, when you see things works the way they're supposed to, that's a...
