In all of my excitement talking about the thrilling endeavor of
planning a three-page website, I forgot to mention I played a bit of
ARK last night. I couldn't get into the server I played on
the last two times, the one with my character and the small thatch
building I made, so I had to join another server and create a new
character. It was not a very productive time spent in the world but
I did walk around a lot. At one point I stopped to tame a dodo.
After successfully taming it I was looking through the different
commands and accidentally set the bird, which I had named Nono, to
aggressive. She immediately locked onto the nearby Brontosaurus and
charged toward it. I tried whistling and running up and changing the
the command to all of the other ones but nothing worked. It took
awhile but she eventually managed to nip the Bronto's foot and
without a second thought it killed the bird and knocked me pretty
good. I didn't expect to have the dodo very long but I didn't think
it would only be five seconds. I need to find a better server that I
can get on more reliably and just pick a spot and start building. I
need more of a focus instead of all the wandering.
I have a memory of turning off my alarm this morning but I still
didn't get up until half an hour after it first went off. And the
rest of my day was spent working on my website. Most of the time
anyway. There were a lot of mini breaks mixed in. I had the idea
for my second page but kind of hit a wall, mostly because I didn't
want to take content from another website and I also didn't want to
read a bunch of stuff in order to pick out my own content while also
properly citing where I got the content. I ended up figuring it out.
At least good enough for me. I found a bunch of sites that I want
to use for the third page but I will probably save those for
tomorrow. So much for finishing everything today.
After lunch today I took a nap under my desk. It was mainly because
I was avoiding work, but also a little bit because I was still tired,
and a lot because it is fun to take a nap under a desk. It's kind of
like a fort. I also like sleeping in enclosed places.
I ran for 37 minutes on the elliptical today. My goal was 35 minutes
but I zoned out and lost track of time so I decided to finish the
song I was on, which took me up to 37 minutes. Twenty days ago I
started running on the elliptical and made it a whole ten minutes.
Not bad progress. I think I need to start running faster, though,
just to get it over with quicker. Not that I'm impatient or anything
but 37 minutes is a long time to be running.
Tomorrow I'm going to finish my website for real. My goal is to
finish it so I can upload it to the school server and make sure all
my links are correct. Let's hope I don't drag that process out the
entire day because I still have other stuff to read and assignments
to work on.
