College quarter is almost over, which means that we should hopefully get a break soon. It's needed! We're honestly stressed from classes and need some time to unwind that. Just have a painting to touch up and an essay to write and we should be done for the quarter. Haven't done much with the server yet- still trying to figure out Apache and a few networking snags (finally need to touch on port forwarding and figure out how to do that). Have to say that this is a fantastic way to learn more about networking and pick up a few skills related to that. Very good challenge and great brain food! We really need to get back to learning Python. Came across another project idea we could do to learn before we tackle the game- setting up a graphical settings menu for a window manager that changes settings in the relevant files via a dialogue with the user. Could be really nice, though we do just fine changing the files by hand and never really need to do it. Still a good project idea and could come in handy!
In non-tech news, we're doing okay. Still sort of off mentally, but it's better than it was and we should have the time to unpack the brain issues properly once the quarter is over. We need to sit down and deal with things. Nothing else really of note. Only interesting thing is that our grandpa is now a year older- he's 71 now. Happy birthday to him!
