I’ve been making breakfast burritos for a while now. It’s very basic, just eggs, chopped veggies, some cheese, and some light mayo, and a few splashes of chipotle tabasco sauce.
The tortillas I use are some carb watching kind from Aldi. I, however, only count carbs when working on engines, which is very very rarely.
I like these tortillas because each one has 14 grams of fiber. I made a decision about a year ago (before starting to exercise a lot) to up my fiber intake. These help a bunch.
I can’t tell you how excited I am. It’s not much, just a square and a sphere, but I can walk to them with the Virtuix Omni from 2016. This fills me with joy, as I can start programming actual games/activities now.
One of the major reasons why I am trying to get this running is that I’d like an activity that I can do for exercise that tracks steps. The TRAVR Training Ops game that came with the system (really the only one I ever play besides Skyrim VR) has been a 4-5 times a week routine. I can run through the courses in about 25 minutes, and it gets my cardio and heartrate up.
THe PROBLEM is that it no longer works with the Omni Connect step tracker is running. It has to do with it trying to access Connect and then the server to track high scores. It is just crashing, and has been for a couple years. The response I got from Virtuix, and I can’t blame them at all, is that the game hasn’t been updated since 2017 and it’s not supported any longer.
I get it…but now I get to create my own course, and track steps. I’d like to hit 1,000,000 steps by the 10 year anniversary of getting the omni. That was in February 2016. I’m at roughly 283k right now. I’ve got my work cut out for me.
So, the reason I’m so pumped about the Omni test is that the SDK for my particular version of the omni hasn’t really been updated since maybe pre-covid times. I’ve been worried about getting it caught up to the most recent Unity Hub, and I’ve done this before with some Zenva VR training courses I got through humble bundle a long while ago.
That’s why I was worried, trying to tackle the errors that hop up is sometimes a challenge, but going through and getting some help through google searches seems to work well.
Uff, I’m REALLY behind on getting things caught up. Maybe it’s been since 2017/208? Lots of updates to wordpress and the sites I’ve got throughout the page. Not a lot of people on the ol’ sidebar still blogging.
On the plus side, the Unity program that I’ve made for testing out the Virtuix treadmill is working in dev mode. The prefab of the treadmill is moving with key strokes. Next step is to strap in and try move around in testing mode, maybe try run into a ball and start it rolling. For the time being though, it’s updating WordPress like in the olden days: uploading files via ftp.
I’m embarking on a new project, and want to start writing more…and I want to get away from the social media empires enriching people and companies that I personally do not agree with. .
The last few months I’ve been hitting the exercise hard. I’ve done the entire run of the TRAVR Training Ops game on the Original Virtuix Omni Treadmill (not the Omni One) several days a week, and have also been using a rowing machine.
About a month ago, my wife and I got a home gym machine with the cables and everything, so I’ve been doing that as well.
All this to lead up to my new project: I’m going to be programming a game for the Omni. I spent this evening getting unity installed on my desktop machine and on my handy dandy Chuwi Minibook X. I’ll post more about that later, but it’s basically a 2-in-1 with a form factor of a notebook. I love it.
My goal is to have 1,000,000 steps by the 10 year anniversary of getting the beta version of the Omni. Wish me luck.
