Catching up on software updates

CURL error in updating wordpress

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.

Is this thing still on?

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.
