days 6–8: something something

didn't manage to do anything related to writing systems.
but i found some old files that might turn out to be very useful
in future research.

+this was a busy day at work, like all mondays are.
+day before i started automatic reconstruction in colmap,
+because i figured it would take some time.
+actually, it died a few times, there wasn't enough
+memory.
+i stopped all daemons and closed display server so it could have all power it needs.
+
+and it finished! but the results are quite roughh and noisy. and it took whooping 46GiB of space!
+didn't even get close to gaussian splatting. will try that on a lighter dataset.

+another one that i've spent with friends.
+also i've learned about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_splatting">gaussian splatting</a> and it got me attracted.
+i've tried to make a structure from motion in <a href="https://colmap.github.io">colmap</a>, but tinkered with it for a long time without any good results.
+it is quite heavy and needs a lot of storage and computing power.
+we also tried to do our first linocuts. we've figured out how to cut,
+but not so much how to print, that's a thing to learn.
+in the evening we went to the swimming pool. i try to add something physical to my life,
+otherwise it's just computers and work.

+this day i spent time with friends.
+we went to a flower market (or a festival, i am not sure how these things are named, flower event).
+plants were nice, but the place they choose to host such event wasn't fit for it.
+there were narrow spaces between stands, and there were quite a lot of vizitors,
+so to see anything or even go through one had to
+push through people.
