Code Project – HTML/CSS – Github.io and Web Dev of the Past

So, technically this is part of the 100 Days of Python I have been writing about here, Days 41-44 were an "Intro to Web Development" piece, to give students a basic idea of how web pages are structured in order to give them the ability to better work Beautiful Soup in later projects.  More on Beautiful Soup on the actual "100 Days of Code Part 5" though. Now, I'm already, pretty good at Web Development. I won't say I am "professional level" (hellooooo Imposter Syndrome), but I'm pretty good and I've done actual web dev work for some small projects…

100 Days of Python, Project 032-040 #100DaysofCode

Things are ramping up a bit again here.  Now we get all sorts of fancy API calls for real time data.  This will definitely be useful for later personal projects, along with the email notifications.  I will probably be running dozens of scripts on a Pi or my web server by this time next year.  This is the sort of stuff I really dig, keeping notice of what's going on with things. As usual, my Github Repository for all this code is here. Day 32 - Sendmail (Birthday and Quote Email-er) So, I am sure on some level, I was…

100 Days of Python, Project 023-031 #100DaysofCode

In case anyone is keeping track (which they are not), you might notice that one, I've not been posting these posts in "real time".  I've been writing them later, after the fact.  I kind of hope to change that.  Also, I started on September 12th, and my last post was on September 28th, which is 16 days, though the last post went through Day 22.  I'm actually moving faster than "100 Days" on my "100 Days of Code". This is intentional, I want to do Advent of Code again this year, starting December 1st. So I want to hopefully finish…

100 Days of Python, Project 015-022 #100DaysofCode

So, the first set of projects for #100DaysOfCode were all fairly simple.  Basic Text based programs that run in a terminal and run through simple loops.  The Intermediate Section starting on day 15 of the course is were things started to get quite a bit more interesting, though the basic code isn't really all that complex yet. There are two main topics covered during the Intermediate portion of the course, creating GUI interfaces with Turtle Graphics, and some introductory data analysis.  These two topics don't particularly overlap, but both seem to be the primary focus here.  I'm rather enjoying the…

100 Days of Python, Project 001-014 #100DaysofCode

I've mentioned before about the concept of "always learning".    One of those thing is coding.  I'd like to think I'm actually pretty good at basic to intermediate level coding, though I am certainly not an expert.  I kind of feel like I am at a point where I would definitely like to "level up" my ability a bit.  So I've been working on the #100DaysOfCode Challenge, though a course on Udemy.  Specifically, 100 days of Python, and specifically, this course. I've also been using this as an good excuse to sharpen up my Github skills a bit, so you…

On Getting COVID

Technically, I am writing this after the fact, but it needs done. COVID sucks. Omicron seems to not really care about vaccines or masks at all, and while its less lethal, it still is rough. I don't know where I got it, most likely while in Chicago, and most likely at the concert. Unlike the CHVRCHES show, there was no mask or Vax requirements. I had worn a mask anyway while inside. I doubt it was the Zoo, that was barely busy due to the weather and mostly outdoors. Where does not super matter. I definitely "got it" first, or…

New Desktop PC

My new desktop I mentioned at the end of my last post arrived. I am fairly good about adjusting my workflow when changes or upgrades happen, but this particular change in it's nature, is incredibly disruptive. My whole process kind of stems out from a source, which for the most part, is either my laptop or my desktop. If I were to get a new laptop, not much would change. Most of that workflow runs off of shared drives or cloud files. On the base level, the desktop works the same way, the real trick I get to deal with…
