I changed the logo of my Synergetic Design page. I was not happy with the previous ones but now I am quite satisfied. I did it with #Inkscape.

Another wee #map, this time showing the Outer Hebrides, the Western Isles of #Scotland.

Made with #QGIS and #Inkscape with a helping hand from #OpenStreetMap

I had a lot of fun with this one. Hope you like!

in questi giorni faro delle live per testare #peertube e precisamente su neptube.io, saranno cose semplici , come ad esempio io che realizzo lavori su #inkscape o #blender, se vi interessa la cosa potere seguirmi su do_it_your_web_@www.neptube.io e magari scambiare 2 chiacchere senza impegno

@Richard_Littler
Started with Ps2 & Ai3 myself, but replaced them 2011 with #Krita & #Inkscape. Do you consider or tested @Blender and #Scribus already?

Well, I think it could be nice to talk a bit about myself, so here it goes (it is a long one, be warned)

My (still ongoing) journey from engineering to programming: Prologue
As can be seen in my profile bio, my name is Iago Andrade, and I am a Brazilian. What can't be seen there, though, is that I'm a mechanical engineer, and I have worked as a mechanical designer since 2018. This year (2023) I decided to pursue an old desire, which was to be able to work with #programming.

First contact
From the very first year at university, I fell in love with programming, when we were introduced to #C. Most of my friends were not really interested in that, and thought it was too difficult, but I was fascinated by the possibilities of what could be done with it.
At first, we used it mostly to solve dificult mathematical problems through iterative process, but my curiosity led me to learn more than just what was taught in classes. We were also later introduced to MATLAB and EES, and I even learned a bit of #Python in order to help a friend of mine.
But as the course became more and more time consuming, I started to drift away from that passion, and focus more on the other disciplines, and only sparingly did I delve into anything related to programming.

First job
As I graduated, I soon got a #job in mechanical design, modeling industrial equipment and parts and its drafts for production. As I had little time for studying, programming was put aside for a while, and all the focus was put into this job.
I learned a lot at this job, and managed to build a lot of resources for accelerating, and even automating tasks, and that kept me reminded of how much I liked to solve problems like these. I even got to the point of learning some #bash script in order to automate the creation of folders in the company's server (which did not end up very well, due to the lack of some quotes hehe). Though the script caused some problems, it was solved in the end (and I learned the important lesson of debugging everything very thoroughly).

Reigniting an old passion
At some point between then and now, I learned of the existence of a "new" game engine called #Godot. I had never made any #games, and had never used a game engine before either, but I had had some contact with #FOSS (free and open source softwares), like #blender and #inkscape, and that one caught my attention, since I had always wanted to create games. Since it was free, super lightweight, I decided to give it a go. It felt so good to learn that tool, and programming in it reminded me of how much I liked to code.
Back then, a friend of mine was also interested in making a game, and he wanted to be more focused on the story part of it, which was perfect since I wanted to focus on the programming and possibly the art and music for it. We started to work on the idea, got a ton of references, and started building the overall scope and story, until one day we lost momentum and just couldn't get back to it. Our jobs were sucking too much energy, and we decided to put it aside until we had more time to do it properly.

#SQL and the leap of faith
After some more years of working with 3D modeling, the company where I was working decided to implement an ERP system. The problem was they didn't have anyone from the inside who was qualified for some of the tasks that would appear, and they tasked me with dealing with those problems.
I had never worked with an ERP system, but had some idea of how #databases worked, and that helped a lot in making some decisions early on (like not entrying all data manually). I had to learn how to bulk clean old data from another system they had used before, which had been fed by many different people, with a lot of mistakes and inconsistencies.
After that, I had to import all that data into the system, and I decided it was time to learn SQL so I could query the database properly when I needed information. And that once again triggered my interest in programming, leading to my decision to make new templates for the engineering team.
These templates used programming for automating some of the tasks, in a language specific for the modeling software,reducing many of the steps in the project pipeline, and making it easier to input new equipment in the system.
As I became more and more #tired of some problems at work, and got more interested in programming again, I made the decision of focusing in relearning the languages I had contact with, and while searching for resources, I was informed that #Harvard offered this course online, called #CS50
For a few months I tried, and was unable to #study in my spare time. So ultimately, I decided to #quit my job, finish CS50, and start a career in programming.

Paying the #bills
With only the final project from the course left, money was running short, and bills were still appearing, so I had to start looking for jobs, and I ended up getting another job in mechanical design. The difference now is that it is much closer to home, so I will be able to finish my final project on my spare time, and keep looking for #junior roles in programming.

Epilogue: The Final Project
Since this toot is ridiculously long already, I may as well talk about the final project for whoever got to this part haha
The idea for the project is to mix a bit of #gamedev with #webdev, making a site with three main areas containing mini-games in three different styles, from #ASCII to one with actual graphics. If all goes well, I also wanted to enable players to get a score, and keep that in a database, if the player so desires. #Backend is being done in python with #flask, #frontend is using templates from flasks #jinja, but mostly plain #HTML #CSS and #javascript

Your obligatory reminder to learn how to use Inkscape. I was looking for a free t-shirt SVG icon, but solid black, and with non-rounded corners, but couldn't find one. So I downloaded a Creative Commons (CC0) one that looked close, adding nodes on the rounded corners, made them straight lines, removed additional nodes, and removed the inner nodes to make it solid black. Done.

Remade a bunch of Le Knight Club logos just for fun.

I wrote, illustrated, designed and edited a #book. First timer.

It's been six months and I just realized I did it entirely with #foss (free and open source software), including the OS, #linux. The only exception being the pencil and paper I used for the original writing and sketching. Didn't plan it, I use #krita on a daily basis for my professional #illustration commissions. I thought it was worth mentioning because #foss is unfairly despised by media creation professionals (who are often under-payed).

I published 50 copies, funding it myself. I'm not selling it, I'm giving it as a gift to people from whom I've learned something, or not. It feels much better than any commission I've been payed for, ever. It has given way to very interesting conversations. It's a pretty dark book, and has lots of newbie mistakes (biggest one on the cover...).

I put a belly band on two copies and secretly left them on a shelf in a very popular book store (anti-theft?). The band says "this book is not for sale, it has to be stolen". It's been sitting there for more than a month... even though it's free. Either the book is very bad, or people don't dare, or daring people don't go into book stores, or people don't like free books, or...

Blender looks far too complicated and unfriendly to 2D animated imagery, even with #greasepencil and UPBGE. But I can do animated shorts with it. That's nice.

Il parait que j'aurais dû faire une #introduction depuis 6 ans, alors voilà. Ici, je pouet :
– science (recherche appliqué en algorithmique de l'#IA, en ce moment assez saoulé par son dévoiement corporate),
– design & illustration (souvent vectorielle sous #inkscape),
– code libre (auteur de #CLI : #liquidprompt, #colout, …),
– politique (anar gauchiste, centriste repenti, radicalisé par le macronisme),
– sondages bizarres (neuroatypique tentant de comprendre comment ça marche dans votre tête).
