Various Activities of Late

It's been a bit since I really just wrote out a regular blog post so I thought it would be prudent to do so, mostly just touching on some of the stuff I've been doing or thinking about recently. I'll just break things up a bit into some sections, for easy skimming/ignoring. Old Writing Every so often, I get this weird bug to just delete all of my old posts and start fresh and the old content all sucks and blah blah blah. Then that never really works out as hoped and I kind of miss having all the old…

Code Project – JavaScript Drum Kit

The second actual project from the class I've been doing is a simple clickable drum kit. Part of the purpose was to work with signs and to work with clickable elements. Like the dice roller game, the basic HTML and images were provided, though there was some freedom in arranging the icons and sounds. It feel a bit flaky, when it comes to overlapping sounds, but that also feels like a bit of a limitation with the code itself, or at least, the simplicity of what is being done here. I'm sure it's "fixable" with some more advanced work. But…

Code Project – JavaScript Dice Roller Game

I mentioned in my Python Class posts that I really enjoyed the instructor and I planned to eventually move to doing her Web Dev Course. Well, I've started working on that one. It's not a "100 Days of Projects" so I've not been quite blitzing through it like I did the Python Course, and it's a lot of material I am already way more familiar with. Hell, I skipped over the first third of the course because it was the same HTML/CSS content included int he Python Course. My main goal here, is to get much more familiar with JavaScript.…

Code Project: Fresh RSS to WordPress Digest

I actually briefly mentioned this project when I write about moving from TinyTinyRSS to FreshRSS. This has become a bit of an evolving and ongoing project however, so I've decided to catalogue it in it's own page. This little script worked out much better than I expected, and I've modified it a bit over time, and have ideas to modify it going forward even more. Starting off, the code can be found here in this Github GIST. I've left a bit of commented out code that i might use later for troubleshooting or adding additional features. The general gist of…

Code Project: VLC Portable Playlist to Text Dump

It's kind of funny how one post can lead to another sometimes.  This one is pretty basic but it also just shows a bit how useful I find knowing my way around computer systems to be.  Yesterday I posted about my little annual music playlists.  And as part of that, I wanted to actually post the playlist. I am pretty sure there is a fairly universal "playlist file type" out there and being open source, I had assumed that VLC on my phone stored the playlists somewhere in playlist files. That assumption was wrong, it uses a .db file.  A…
