Spent all weekend working on an animated version of film/graphic-oriented business card I made a few years back.  Been a long time since I last did any visual effects, but I'm pretty happy with it.  Can't wait to see this put to use... Step one to world domination.  Bahaha!

Was going to do a more ambitious song for Halloween, but alas I ran out of ideas and just twisted one of my happier songs into something evil instead.

A very slow start to what should be one of my more interesting projects in a while.  Still just coming up with piano drafts for now to build a base from before making it more orchestral, but it seems like the piano alone holds up pretty well.  Sadly, my downed mood lately has somewhat found its way into what should have been very a cheerful song.  I guess it adds more dynamic at least.

I'm starting to worry about playing to time or matching a set tempo a lot less; it seems to sound better when I just play freely.  As usual, the main limitation is my left hand.  Any suggestions on chords, melodies, and other stuff welcome though.

Although Tech Trader already somewhat has a simple AI built into it, it's still a side-feature that isn't given much room to grow.  I went ahead and took that script out of Tech Trader and built it into its own box called QLearner so it can do more besides just stocks.  It is also generalized to the point you can now just modify a plugin template to get it to solve any sort of problem/scenario.  Leave the problem open-ended and it can solve a perpetual/ongoing problem in real time.


Like the name suggests, QLearner primarily uses Q-Learning algorithms at the moment, which is on the simpler side of AI but can still solve a lot of things and be useful in a lot of situations.  The open-ended nature of the QLearner program though allows this to be expanded on in the future if the project takes off.  We'll see.

Maybe one day I can ask it what that numbing pain behind my left eye is...

More piano... it's just more fun to play your songs out fully rather than build the phrases piece by piece.
But lately hard to feel motivated to play anything at all.
