Ok, so I promised several times, but I didn't tally up my pushups so far.

In my procrastinations I did something ridiculous however. The conclusion:

"100 pushups in one minute is clearly possible and I will do them"

Full argument on publicnote.com / Pushups (until it gets vandalized)

#100pushUps #hyperFocus #madness

:shrug2:

I’ve been re-reading and editing the first two chapters of my new fanfic story for days, and there are still parts to expand on. The initial hyperfocus is over, I got so wired I didn’t sleep much for two nights, though I had a good night in between and have got almost back to normal this afternoon after more naps.

This is why I reject the neurodivergent superpower narrative. It doesn’t just let me live.

I have a #bird feeder almost right in my face while I'm #wfh. I keep being given bird identification guides/apps but studying those doesn't seem to #hyperfocus me. What I really want is a tech solution...

I have parts arriving to set up #frigate #security #cameras. Grabbing a still and identifying it a) as a bird and b) as a particular species still seems somewhat daunting (ObXKCD)

Except I now remember that frigate runs a (100% local!) #ai identification thing that sounds like it works pretty well. It can almost certainly tell me I have a bird. It can very likely run a script. That script can...uh....do whatever it is that #merlin does. Hm.

Anyone who says hyperfocus is a superpower can't fathom how destructive it is to not be able to control your focus. People get how bad not having focus is, but the opposite is ALSO AWFUL!

I got hit with it just before we were supposed to go to sleep and ended up moving bedtime to 5am because I could not break the focus even with help.

Now I am exhausted, aching head to toe, and need to find a way to be able to work with mental batteries on savings mode.

Am being a bit of a Sudo-masochist today. At work setting up Nginx and SSL certificates on a rocky RHEL linux box for a GitLab install.

it's not going particularly smoothly so I'm getting into my #Autistic #Hyperfocus headspace with my usual go to focus album "" by Philip Glass.

However, thanks to Watchmen whenever I hear the track "Pruit Igoe" ..especially when in the midst of config file changes in nano and copying self certificate keys to the correct folder.. well my brain goes to this scene.

"Yes Pete, Good! now it's just a question of running the components in the correct sequence"

"I feel confident for the last time"

"A error log is seen on the web server"

"A partially crazed developer is seen pounding his desk before screaming and vanishing... for a coffee"

Now available on YouTube, an #OnlineAutscape2025 “More Autistic Joy” presentation:

On the 7th of February at 20:00 GMT/UTC, Jorik Mol, “professionally autistic”, presented “Now I wanna think about all the good times – The joys of Breaking the Boundaries”.

Watch now at: youtu.be/88-EGSq_dmg

Slides with clickable read-along links: docs.google.com/presentation/d

“Jorik's first book of 2025 is Breaking the Boundaries, describing his experiences as a lived experience mentor of autistic higher education students. These stories highlight the particular joys of being neuroqueer and finding one's community, gender joy, the joy of art, the joy of hyperfocus and the joy of fighting the good fight.”

I spent a few happy hours getting partway into the info-collation for a blog post. Shaking off the notion of it being weird, silly, etc to be listing ages of an actor and each of his characters as if many people care when I realised how nice it was to have something to focus on. Lately my desire for the house-clearance marathon has stalled, as has art, gaming, you name it. The #AuDHD #brain has its wants and needs.

Is it a backpack? Is it a totebag? IT'S BOTH 😎 and it has pockets! Absolutely ecstatic about the result of this project.
Green fabric: a thrifted curtain
Blue with print: from the leftover bin at the fabric store
Method: by sewingtimes on youtube, love that woman. I added some batting for a comfier fit.
Honestly, nothing compares to the dopamine rush that comes from a few hours of hyper focus resulting in a successful product.

My AH-HA! moment.
I am trying to force a digital representation of a physical limitation of paper based media!

SO THEN- I would need char wrapping.

One can only reasonably expect a person to hand write a certain char width on say a note card. If I am to present a "post" in that format, I need a fixed font AND width, if the post is to maintain a gridded pattern. In the world I am building, every character counts. An equal width. Even spaces and nul's.

#Hyperfocus tractors:

Japanese compact tractors are plenty powerful for their size. Lighter weight may be an issue, but also a boon on softer ground.

Their 3PH is incompatible (smaller) 😠

No cab - it'll only get in the way.

Parts availability good except for Mitsubishi.

Most come with a rotavator, useful.

Frontloader would be nice, but too pricey.

New China ones not as good (except Dong Feng) and cost more.

MTZ/LTZ don't compare well considering restoration needed.

My mind, a blunt instrument, fixates on a hypothesis of Trump's last term critiquing our obsession with him and his ability to control the narrative akin to a puppet master or master strategist. And my singular obsession with this train of thought grates within the obvious greater context. For me, it follows, is the original hypothesis correct? Or...

And this is what it's like when worlds collide.
This would be my first conversion of sorts, it was manual and looking at a picture in the book "Mastering Japanese Kanji Volume 1".
I will be looking at an SVG repo, which could approximate where the strokes fall in a grid.
Side note- I will be working on the Radicals separately using Kanji Study on Android to reference- then I can create blocks of them for easier use.
