Been meaning to write for a while now, I'm always about to write something here but then either fall asleep or get distracted. Story of my fucking life.

I picked up a radio a few weeks back. A work friend was ordering one and I got in on the order. It's been fun scanning public radio frequencies, picking up on walkie talkies and the like. It's a lot of static mostly, and only through ridiculous patience do you pick anythin interesting up. So far the most interesting thing I have picked up on are:

• Creepy pensioners having weird, but boring conversions.
• Construction crews yelling at each other in fustration.
• Bored people talking to any random person to kill time on their commute.
• Little children singing.
• Sometimes weird beeping.

So, it's enough to keep me interested in the whole thing. I've been hoping on picking up on some cool and weird convo soon so I could make a video to put on my Instagram story but I haven't had any luck yet. I've been meaning to also climb up on a hill some place and try to pick up on some more exotic transmissions but I haven't got around to it.

I've been buying lots of technical books on Humble Bundle, been "Leveling Up" my Python which is nice, I've been doing a few Python challenges that are simple enough but since I'm so shit at programming they drive me to the brink of insanity. It's a good kind of stess though, driving me to improve. Today they had a Linux/Unix bundle on sale and I picked it up. The most interesting one was in the $1 tier and is about writing Linux drivers. Maybe I can finally achieve one of my long-time dreams and write a driver for a mouse. That would be dope as fuck.

This weekend I had some plans. I was going to try to buy something with Bitcoin and went to a Bitcoin automat in Länsi-Terminaali. It was down though, so I started an account with a Bitcoin exchange and let's see if I could get any Bitcoins bought with that. I also started supporting a few people on Patreon, most notably U M A M I, his animation and music are awesome and I jumped at the chance to support him. His YouTube channel has some of the best animation I've watched in a long time. The vibe is something I feel deeply, like I can truly feel the thing. It's hard to explain but that's the best I can come up with now.

Been meaning to get around to writing the rest of the Python networking tools I started a few weeks ago. Should just punch them out. I have Spotify now so I can listen to what I want now and maybe find that elusive "Zone" and start getting things done.
