Final Day at RC
Disclaimer: Mostly insight free zone below
I started this thinking I would be able to draw out some useful insights and reflections on my time at RC...but apparently all I’m up to is listing what I’ve done during my final day...
Final day at RC
- Meditation, nice camaraderie and solidarity from the others about never graduating today
- Check-ins
- Writing a presentation on translating index co-ordinates to Cartesian co-ordinates
- Getting seriously distracted by pre-emptive half-thoughts on how I'm feeling about never graduating
- Realising that I have serious gaps in understanding how I translated between these two co-ordinate systems (NB, look into linear transformations)
- Getting seriously distracted by pre-emptive half-thoughts on how I'm feeling about never graduating
- Lovely coffee chat with Jeff Zhang
- Ordered Julia Evans’ new zine, How Integers and Floats Work
- Presentation writing
- Rehearsing presentation, realising I’m way over five minutes
- Presentation re-writing
- Running out of time to finish presentation re-writing 1

- Writing this with the aim of doing some ‘reflection’ but it’s just a list of things I’ve done today 😂
A lot of the work stemmed from repeatedly forgetting and then going back to re-apply the lessons from David Tufte's Envisioning Information. Even with the re-working I had the nagging feeling that there must be cleaner and more impactful way to visually describe transforming between index co-ordinates and Cartesian co-ordinates. One for a future blog post maybe.↩
