WFH Day 001 Today we got the notification from Adobe that we will close all the offices for all employees in north America. We were told to work from home for the next 30 days. After that period the situation will be evaluated and further decisions will be communicated by then. Let’s see what is going to happen.

TL;DR A friend of mine asked me if I could build something useful with my 3D Printer. He wanted to have something to place his new (and expensive) tamper for ground coffee. I always wanted to design and print something useful on my 3D Printer. And I wanted to learn and use OpenSCAD for a long time. Now I had an excellent reason to learn it. Create the Design I had no experience with OpenSCAD at all when I started this little project.

I like to learn new tools, programming languages, and exciting topics. I recently found the book Genetic Algorithms in Java Basics , and I found the code samples easy enough to understand to “translate” them to a different programming language for the sole purpose of getting some hands-on experience with a new programming language. I’m done with the 2nd chapter of the book and implemented the genetic algorithm described in that chapter to crystal lang.
