This feels amazing
I'm actually getting things done!

I had a bunch of great ideas and actually finished them, for the first time in my life.

I always have these sweet ideas, then I get too lazy to finish them, and they just sit there dead until someone else invents it because I was too lazy haha.

This is sweet, though.

Made a chainsaw engine-powered BMX bike for lulz, and made a go kart that runs on ethanol. Now I just gotta finish that TCP Chat program I've been working on...

Why does the protocol matter? :p

I'm still working on coding something for my job that calculates a coordinate on a map based on a single known point, a bearing, and a distance from said point. And I need to automate the process of it to generate a file in KML so it can be read by the program. It's turning into a daunting task, since KML can't do calculations itself, you have to predict what coordinate you have to plot to using cos, etc. honestly I might just skip doing the math myself and automate a process to copy certain data from other files to create the desired task.

Edit:
I feel you on those mechanical things though. Everytime I do something to further restore my Mustang it feels so good. Right now my dad is replacing my wiring harness back at home which was a good 700$. It feels good getting that done. Same with new tires, etc. I'll be back home to work on my baby soon. For now it's just buying parts though. :)
Good job Flare!

Congrats, thats definitely one of the most challenging obstacles to overcome. Now create something that channels your motivation to me.
