Yeah, soooo, I've kind of been absent for a while from blogging. But worry not! I have reasons!
I'll sum it up as school sucks. Thankfully my last year of undergrad won't be a mess of overachieving - just normal achieving. Not necessarily easy, but whatever.
So anyway, I didn't have all that much time for personal projects last quarter, besides playing Dota every once in a while, and so I didn't have much to post about on here anyway. My other blog, FUCK, was a little too time-consuming for me to continue, so I didn't post on it either.
But now it's summer, and even though I'm working while also taking summer intensive Japanese, I have more free time! Which means more blog posts for my beautiful friends (like you) to read!
I've started a few things since last quarter ended. I'll just sum them up here, since I don't really wanna get too into the deets.

- Started working on a website again. It sucks and I'm totally aware of that, because I'm a programmer and am thus totally awful at aesthetic design from scratch. It's disastrous. But I should probably have one by the time I graduate so I look a little more employable.
- I got tired of losing the pieces of paper that I wrote down major scales on for playing guitar chords/improv, so I've started writing a Python script to do it for me. Currently it looks like this:
Kinda hard to see from this, but it has a textual fretboard representation, the scale itself, and every single position on the fretboard belonging to that major scale (and subsequently, to each mode of that scale, which also solves that problem I got tired of doing). I also wrote a nice looking Python list-pivot function because of this little project. I want it to do more, like display all the major scales (it doesn't like trying to deal with flats, but sharps work just fine - I know they're more or less equivalent, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to code projects).
I've also kind of started writing again! I don't have any substantial text, but I might start another blog for no purpose than sharing my writings if I start writing enough of them.
That's pretty much all I've been up to lately. As always, comments and the like are appreciated in the boxes below. And expect a Fruncoki entry sometime this week!
