Busy...

It is nice to have a busy life. I really enjoy all the things I am doing. Even work can be nice to some extent depending on the job. I really like doing break/fix work on consumer electronics displays. It's the tedious work on other things I am not overly fond of. But I suppose no job can be perfect. Except cartooning. I always say my ideal job would be a cartoonist. I would have to have an idea, and some real skill first.

To summarize, I have not had an over abundance of time to learn programming this past week. That's not a bad idea, to update this on a certain day every week... Maybe I'll revisit that idea next week when I update this.

I did however finish chapter three in the Python Programming book. I am in the programming exercises at the close of the chapter. So far I did the first ten exercises. I really like how it seems to be teaching just one point in each chapter while still helping you to learn how that one area of Python can be used for different, sometimes practical, applications. Such as writing a program to calculate the cost of ordering coffee by the pound where the program user inputs how many pounds of coffee he or she wants.

Python seems to be a powerful programming language. I have not used any previous versions but the way the book explains, it seems Python 3.x has made some improvements over 2.x. So I am glad I don't have to relearn things. I suppose that will come later with Python 4, or whatever other language I want to tackle next.

Anyway, now I feel as this little robot does and am going to bed now so my brain can compile the input from today.

This is just a quick sketch on paper I scanned.

I should add I'm also kind of trying to learn how to use Manga Studio. That is a really intriguing program to use. Then maybe I can turn these sketches into professional looking pieces of art.
