Feb. 11, 21: Recording a Calculus Video, Oculus, Teaching, TV, and Games
Holy crap! At this point my sleep cycle is about as messed up as it could possibly be. 😠With three hours short, I was up slightly before two thirty in the fricking morning.
The morning routine was pretty routine, as is to be expected mostly. Cryptosphere in a bit of a consolidation, taking a short breather for the moment, likely gearing up for the next big move. Nice to see HIVE catching a bid against Bitcoin...seeing some sweet fiat gains the past day or two!!! 🤑
Spent most of the morning getting ready to record a Calculus lecture video (practicing just to have a double check in case of Algebra errors), recording the video, and then uploading (which took a full two hours of me having to sit there and monitor the screen to make sure it doesn’t go to sleep 😡).
Got the structure of my post done and posted, but then started uploading and doing other stuff, so I still need to edit...almost started working on it this morning, but then realized I needed to do today’s post already.
I had a bit of free time once that was done, so I took the opportunity to jack in for a bit. I got a new puzzle game: Shadow Point. Pretty good so far, like solving puzzles by casting particular shadows using collected objects. Didn’t take me too long to complete the first three or four levels (and the bonus puzzles as well), so I quit out to save some play for later.
Broke down yet again and got another song pack for Beat Saber; it’s an electronica one, not exactly my favorite, like dub stuff, but new songs and new challenges to feed my addiction. Only played the first couple songs, but played them up through expert. Cleared them on the first try (not perfect, but still); not that they were particularly easy, I just got into a wicked zone.
In the afternoon I sat down to watch some TV. Just picked some random shows trying to find something entertaining to watch again now that I plowed through Nurse Files and Big Mouth. I was dragging super bad, but I forced myself to stay awake, no nap today. Hopefully, I can try and reset my sleep a little.
Later on I met with my Calculus 2 class and covered Partial Fractions, the method I covered in the video from this morning, so I’m actually ahead!! 😃😃
Met for a solid two hours and went over a bunch of examples...a couple got pretty hairy with the Algebra and solving a system of linear equations, but otherwise it wasn’t too bad. I got stuck a couple times, though, was getting really worn out, but I got one of them done (two different ways 🤓) and put it in Discord for them.
Here’s what it looks like without parfrac:
And the same problem (finding the volume) using partial fractions:
There’s a couple sloppy stylistic/syntax mistakes (dropping a dx and forgetting to write my bounds), but otherwise I suppose it’s alright. Made several algebraic errors as well, but I found and fixed them...could tell I was tired.
By then it was already way past my usual bedtime, but even so I stayed up even later watching some random show Wenche had on. Fell asleep around ten thirty (been a very long time!), hopefully that will start to bring things back in line.
What can I say? No crime or crises in my dCity today, so that was nice, and I got almost two hundred SIM for the day (which is closer to what it should be if the taxes weren’t screwing with everything).
Now, it’s gotten even worse! 100%+ taxes!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬. I think they think they’re being funny or something...just trying to see if they could make it happen.
Either way, f$&@ them!
I simply could not get that third arena win on Holybread today. 😢 So, I got the other tasks done, but not that. One of my Heroes finally reached max level today, we’ll see if that makes the arena any easier.
Still holding top ten glory and loving those daily votes! 💪🤑
I think I ended up bothering to get like one CryptoBrewmaster ingredient today, otherwise it didn’t much cross my mind. Boring, an usual, during the week.
We’re seriously down to the wire on the Splinterlands season this time! I had honestly intended to be more proactive this time around and not leave it to the last minute and then have to play, but here we are. Really only one more viable day and then I might as well forget about it, best get on it like yesterday!
