Making some firmware
The day has finally come. I was able to finally create the firmware for my waka keyboard. Safe to say I’m pretty happy about it. I think the hardest part for me was realizing that I could have done it much sooner and could have finished the build last week rather than having to wait…

Upcoming keyboard
Yes. I’m going to be building another one. This next one will be a 60% keyboard and will be a Bluetooth one at that. I’ve probably mentioned it a few times before but this week I finally went ahead and ordered the switches I will be using for the build. They are tactile switches and…

Random thought about queries
The other day a random thought sort of popped in my head. Yes, it happens and I have a good laugh about it too. The random thought was why queries can be slow and how to find them. Now, there are several resources out there and let’s be honest here it could be a little…

Upcoming project
The other day I went ahead and ordered a rework station. This was something I never though I would want to own. In high school I took an electronics class that I fell in love with. I learned about components and how to solder. I also learned a little bit about how to make PCBs.…

Little steps along the way
As I’ve mentioned in some previous posts I’ve been diving back to working with some Python code. It’s been kind of fun. At the moment it really has just been a ton of copy and pasting and things just work. Which is great because it means that their code works. I think the thing I…

Random local install woes
The other day I wanted to tinker more with Django and a local installation. I was able to copy things over but had a slightly frustrating issue when trying to install some of the dependencies. It was really annoying and a little flustering I guess because I felt like I would be getting no resolution…

Reading things again
Today I decided to try and install Django on my playground. Again. Not going to lie I did struggle a few times getting the admin to work but I was able to finally get it running. I’m pretty sure some of you may take a quick guess as to what happened but I’ll spare you…

Small win
Today I was able to set up my random playground subdomain and it’s using CloudFlare. The other day I was tinkering with it because I wanted to learn a little more. I had some issues here and there but I think that was in part because I was stressed for some reason. There really have…

Admitting temporary defeat
The other day I was trying to get Django up and running on my site. Not this one but on a my top level domain. It did not work. I failed. The first thing I encountered was a permission issue. That was my bad because I didn’t spell the username correctly. Yeah, that happened. Once…

Random code spelunking
Today I decided to dive into how blocks are created and rendered and modified within WordPress. Why? Because I like break things when I can. Today was no exception. I got a little frustrated because my browser was being super strange when it came to rendering my admin area but that had nothing to do…
