I did a couple more things today:
I drew up a short list of things I’m interested in investigating and possibly seeing through for this quarter at least, with some notes for how to go about doing them.
I started trying out some self-directed programming education via How to Design Programs, which was suggested to me as a good way for beginners to start learning. So far I have done some addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square root, sine, max, and min, but it’s still fun to watch it happen the way I intended.
Also, I made a soup broth. It’s cooling now. It might actually be killer.
