Does anyone else sometimes wonder about EmptyBottle and what he might be coding or thinking about?

[fadedghost]

Who else wonder if EmptyBottle is doing new computer stuff?

I mostly wonder why you wonder so much about it, @fadedghost...

I really don't know!

Do you think EmptyBottle has seen this post?

I know I made a similar thread before, but I wanted a poll this time so there would be a chart.

How was the the plum cake?

I'm sometimes coding on my website [website on profile] (thanks for reminding me about code, I forgot to make my yellow-aqua calculator mobile-friendly after seeing I should do it).

Spending a moderate time on chat(s) I moderate, watching tech, science, etc videos on YouTube, logging my dream (there is a lot more logs!), playing duckhunt IRC game

Spoiler: dream

2026-08-23 03:09:35 UTC
Slept from 12:32am to 5:53am, rest until 6:47am and keep resting past 7:40am, then eventually sleep until 11:58am, temp warm to cool (and maybe briefly higher than expected) with [mm] mostly light clothes and medium blanket, 18C, 16C (~7:40am), 17C. Logged from 11:59am to 12:38pm.
Enter what may've been a uni kitchen, thunk how some staircase and elevator levels were inaccessible, see some spare math worksheets (that were free to take, on the left), and take one. It was supposedly advanced math, with several one line questions (maybe 8?) about graphing 4-point coordinates. Saw it as doable, tho didn't want to plot various tan/sin/cos values, and despite having a calculator (after somehow ending up on own bed), wrote the uncalculated values down [tan(30), -200000, 5, tan(60)], and repeated the value twice (only once did the - sign not get used, also there were a few lines between the repetition)◔

see bookrack thermometer read 8pm (in 24h format) and 18.5C and somehow realise I'm dreaming, then decide to test themometer. asking "what is the highest temperature it could read", hoping it will transition inmediately then realise I'll need to turn it out of view (upwards) and back for the changes to apply, then see readings of 53C and 56C (ofc, room temp unchanged). Ask what's the lowest it could read and see temperature of 31C or so, remember the (likely true) lower reading of 18.5C, and repeat, possibly getting 7.6C or so.◔

Enter the middle entrance of skycity (slightly diagonal, only entrance that didn't have front guard), after some outdoor stone area (maybe with some grass nearby?), possibly in the evening, place /pickup grey jumper and white bottle near corner, and continued forward, passing receptionist (on desk behind entrance, also, another guest was standing around, wearing red) who hardly. noticed me, then saw rooms 6 or so in white (with white and silver numbering), backed out thru the glass door, and maybe left, also without much notice.◔

Enter large class with many rows of seats, spanning 2 levels or more, some rectangular section without seats on the left of the higher level, plenty of black chairs, naturally chilly temp (so kept grey jumper on), and projector. Some other students were being noisy / rowdy, I ignore, open laptop (maybe hibernated), and somehow my laptop was synced to the projector (was ok coz everyone was distracted and there wasn't private stuff on screen). Open windows 10 VM (from windows 11, after switching from peppermint os VM, dark themed taskbar, it had some white virtualbox square border too), find (maybe 500q?) survey unfinished (maybe 5 questions left), saved from a previous day, and having some grey (and maybe bluish) multiple choice circles selected, plus some blue activation code that probably expired. Realise I probably duplicated the tab, wasn't sure if I gained access to the website (2 word domain separated by hyphen, maybe beginning with s). Orange haired lecturer entered, tho she didn't ask us to calm down yet. Maybe wake self?

Logging dreams? What's the reason for doing that if you don't mind me asking?

It's fun, and it can help to learn lucid dreaming! And one can interpet them, and look for patterns!

Oh, I've heard of lucid dreaming, but never tried it... Is it really possible?

I read the biography of Richard Feynman, and he describes how he learnt it to write an essay for a philosophy class IIRC. There are books about it, too. One thing is to improve dream memory retention, hence the diary. And then one needs to train oneself to recognize dreams as such. Supposedly by getting used to do dream-checks whenever something feels odd. Another important thing is to stabilize the dream first after realizing one is lucid dreaming, for example by looking around and increasing immersion. Don't try to fly around the second you notice you're dreaming - then you'll just wake up and it will be over...

I had a few lucid dreams in the past, but they were by accident. In one of them, I remembered to stabilize it first. But I don't remember what I did afterwards.

Interesting... Maybe I also had some and not realizing. The human body is really strange if you think about it. Just being able to do these things.

to remember them, coz they are interesting.

also, unlike diary entries, dreams have a defined end (wake up) so it can be easier to know when to start logging (eg a few mins after dream ends, when key scenes have been recalled).

tho waking up to the afterlife is technically a defined end where diary writing could start, but it is in the far future, and too many events would have been forgotten... my browsing and chat history tells a bigger story (but filtering would be needed prior to submission to remove sensitive urls and spam messages)
