Though I have had access to the internet steadily for months now, I have only had my old laptop for most of that time. I just set up my old desktop computer a few weeks ago, but I haven't been using it for much as the family members that I had left it with for about 6 months got it infected with a computer virus. The virus was cleaned up, but I still don't trust it much, so have only been using it for minor things. I bought a new laptop that I could use for a multitude of things. It is now my best computer in terms of memory, speed and processing power, so I use it for everything now. Having a touch-screen is awesome, but windows 8 sucks. I've installed Blender on it, but haven't been using Blender yet as I have been working more on robotics stuff in my little free time. I bought a Lego Mindstorms set that I have been playing with. The drag and drop programming interface is not exactly what I had hoped for. To be honest, I would rather have a library of functions that control the sensors and motors and write the code myself rather than using a GUI program building tool, but I haven't found that option yet.
In FA news... I can't believe I have such a backlog of FA submissions from the people I have watched. Almost 90,000 to sift through. I can hardly put a dent in it. I went through about 500 last weekend, and this weekend it is almost up to where it was last week. Of course I have been spending a lot of time catching up on online comics that I used to read too. Still a few hundred submissions per week is an awful lot, so I may have to trim back on my watches a bit.
In art news my attempts at cosplay sculpting last fall didn't go well. I was trying to sculpt a clay hollow mask for Halloween, so I had to sculpt a base head as the base I found in the store was not full-sized. I used clay to build it up, but when the clay dried, it cracked badly, so I wasn't able to sculpt on it. I will try again this year now that I have learned some more techniques, but that probably won't be for a while. I am far more likely to do some stuff in Blender first.
