I planned to participate in #NaNoGenMo but I'm hitting a hard case of #CodersBlock and emotional #meh-ness.
Really trying not to beat myself up over this but ... ugh. 😐
But hey, instead of coding I do research on stuff that I might get to use for #NaNoGenMo if I get over the block, so that's something.
(Right now: Astronomical coordinate systems, ie. how to describe a things position in the galaxy. #nerd #space )
Of course, now I'm thinking "Hmmm, I wonder how hard it would be to generate coordinates for galactic objects that didn't just look right (ie. be a long/lat/distance 3-tuple) but were actually reasably plausible?
I mean, maximal distance for objects in our galaxy varies a lot depending on the direction, since we are very much not in the center of it.
Shouldn't be tooo hard to figure out, once I wrap my head around the coordinate system...
