Hitting that wall
The other day I was looking over some random courses because that’s what I do a lot I guess. It was more because I do want to dive back into the school thing and get either a certificate or a degree. The one that has been on my mind for quite some time is Software…

The newest version released thing
Yeah, I don’t know. I felt like typing that out because too many things had to be updated. The first one being WordPress on this site which I’m not mad at since I am typically running the latest version. I have it set to use an alpha/beta version. Yeah, I’m crazy that way. The other…

Random hiccup
Today I decided to update my laptop because it’s been way too long since I touched it. I put on Goosebumps and managed to watch a few episodes. As I was updating the laptop I kept watch on the progress because that’s what we all do, right? I know I do. At the very least…

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…

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…

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…
