I didn&#x27;t exactly build anything in terms of creating anything new. I&#x27;m in a phase right now where I&#x27;m doing a lot of reading and background research. So I just finished reading Laird&#x27;s SOAR book[1], and the second volume of Goertzel&#x27;s <i>Engineering General Intelligence</i>[2]. Now I&#x27;m working on finishing Pinker&#x27;s <i>Words and Rules</i>[3].<p>On the more hands-on front, all I really did was download the source for the various components of OpenCog[4], build them, and get all of that stuff installed. The plan for the next little while is to start playing around with building simple systems with OpenCog and SOAR[5] and gain a deeper understanding of both.<p>So yeah, wish I had something more exciting to talk about, but that&#x27;s just where things are for me right now.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;gp&#x2F;product&#x2F;0262122960&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;gp&#x2F;product&#x2F;0262122960&#x2F;</a><p>[2]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Engineering-General-Intelligence-Part-Architecture&#x2F;dp&#x2F;9462390290" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Engineering-General-Intelligence-Part...</a><p>[3]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Words-Rules-Ingredients-Language-Science&#x2F;dp&#x2F;0465072704&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Words-Rules-Ingredients-Language-Scie...</a><p>[4]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;opencog.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;opencog.org&#x2F;</a><p>[5]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;soar.eecs.umich.edu&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;soar.eecs.umich.edu&#x2F;</a>

Spent the last few nights hacking together a fuzzy parser for a superset of CSS that expands nested rules like SCSS does. First time trying a fuzzy parser; it doesn&#x27;t know any details of CSS selectors or property values. But it does know about comments and strings so it seems fairly safe. It&#x27;s working out surprisingly well so far and is around 200 LoC.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;multiprocessio&#x2F;cssplus" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;multiprocessio&#x2F;cssplus</a>
