Hanging out with my parents until they leave town Saturday night, then chores and stuff, mostly. Gonna try to get project RAUX Box going again if I find an hour or two.

Becoming a master of b oolean algebra and hecta/octadecimal numbers. Whatever that means.
If I finish by Saturday night I’m going to hike to Camp Muir on Mt. Rainier. What are you doing?

Seriously, though, I’m all about that stuff. If you get stuck, feel free to drop me a line about it
(you have my email address from when I inquired about your 850).

Ohhhhh. Math in general or is there any specific b ranch?

The stuff you mentioned (boolean algebra, hexadecimal and octal numbers) is all computer stuff so I know those very well. I do have familiarity with a few more esoteric branches of math, but I have to reach back to college for most of those (besides statistics) so they’re fuzzier. S ince you have a practical focus, I can’t imagine you’d be interested in any of those.

I will 100% nerd out with you over math. So far the math review course has been super easy (up to algebra, trig, and Calc) but I’ve never learned anything about boolean algebra or the octal numbers so we’ll see how that goes! Those are the last two chapters of the class, although I’m having so much fun I may try to build upon the above stuff with some more math skills...
I’ve been thinking about learning a programming language the past few days, and am trying to decide which one would be the best start. I s that something you have any input on..? I realize "computer stuff" is pretty broad lol

New tires for the mini, turns out the clicking noise is the tire throwing tread instead of an axle. Guess my axle budget goes towards tires now, bonus is I get to throw on my new to me rims!

Try some real analysis! It’ll blow your mind, man. For example, it can be proven that there are different sizes of infinities.
If you’re comfortable with trig and calc then boolean algebra and octal numbers shouldn’t be too hard to pick up.
The best way to learn a programming language is to complete a useful or fun project using it, so I’m gonna answer your question with a question: is there any repetitive computational task you want to automate, or set of information you want to organize and keep track of and query in different ways? Or does making a computer draw things or generate sounds just for the fun of it sound more appealing?
That being said, J avascript has an extremely low barrier to entry (if you are on a PC you can open up your web browser’s development tools, get a Ja vascript console, and start messing around), and there’s an incredible number of beginner Python resources out there (and lots of libraries available for it) , so neither of those would be bad choices, though personally I don’t much like either of those languages for snobby reasons.

Digging! Everything to the tight of the wheelbarrow right back into the sleeper wall has to go. So does the purple structure...eventually. I t’s getting replaced with a bigger and better looking timber framed screened verandah.

Real analysis sounds interesting. I’m putting that on the list.
Something I want to automate or keep track of... Well I was thinking about a way to track sign-up bonuses of all currently offered credit cards, and maybe take it a step further by accounting for the fluctuating points values to determine a ranking based on value. But in order to make something like that wouldn’t I need to either find a source that’s already kept up to date with that info or manually enter it whenever the data changes?

Yeah, you would. Programs are a lot easier to keep running when they have a stable structured input format, and it seems like you won’t have that here, so that makes this idea trickier. Would it be useful to write something to do the points value normalization and ranking off the minimal manually entered set of parameters?
Failing that, and if there’s no other idea that strikes your fancy — can you get log data for your Miata’s coolant temp and speed at the same time? You c ould try to write a program to model the relationship or blindly learn the correlation between them to predict what circumstances would cause overheating. Or you could do any number of other predictive or archival things with OBD-II log data — I’d say start with some introductory JavaScript stuff because you can get to making interactive stuff so quickly, which is so much easier to get engaged with (I always try to tighten my iteration cycles on anything I work on at my day job so it gets closer to interactively building things, because I’m so much more focused when I can get feedback within seconds rather than minutes or hours).
