Code Project – Python + AI – Coding with Perplexity AI – Hirst Painting Drawer

Ive not been using AI a lot, frankly, I find it to be pretty lame for the most part, the images are almost always weirdly uncanny and ugly, and the writing is just bland. I've heard it's pretty good at coding though, and I have not tried using it for code at all. So I decided to give it a go. Specifically, I wanted to use it to augment an existing project from when I was taking that 100 Days of Python course. Specifically, Day 18, the Hirst Painting Project. The full original code is here: import colorgram from turtle import…

Code Project – Python – FreshRSS to WordPress V4

A few days ago I posted about updates to my little FreshRSS script. I already did some fairly quick simple updates, though some didn't quite work out as hoped initially. Firstly, I didn't care for the big blob daily article file it pushed out to the archive. So now it spits out a bunch of individual articles, formatted "YYYY-MM-DD-Article Title.md." this created my first issue. I got a "Filename too long error." So I set up a check to truncate the article title to 100 characters, if its longer than 100 characters. I can't just always slice it, because if…

Code Project – Python – FreshRSS to WordPress V3

Today, I want to talk about recent improvements I have made on my FreshRSS to Wordpress Digest Python script. And to make a note on what I would like to do next. This is the script I used to produce these Link List Posts on [Blogging Intensifies] and Lameazoid. The Github Repository for it is here. The first version was simple, it pulled from the sharded feed of FreshRSS, collected favorited articles, formatted them a bit, then posted a wordpress post of links. Overtime, I wanted these posts to be prettier, so I added a bit more massaging to the…

Code Project – Python – Raspberry Pi Keyboard Jiggler

So I did a pretty simple but amusing little project recently, a bit on a whim. Let's say, I have a few games that it would be useful to just, let idle for experience or whatever. The problem is, that these games also have built-in idle deterrence. Your character falls asleep, or you just time out of the game after five or ten minutes. I initially start off trying to use AutoHotkey, a program that basically does what I wanted here, you program it to press keys at certain intervals, basically just a simple keep-alive movement every couple of minutes.…

HDMI Cables for Retro Consoles

I've slowly been working on doing a bunch of upgrades to my console video game space. In some cases it involves elaborate changes to how things work with a particular system. I upgraded my PS2 to run from a hard drive, for example. I've modified my PS Mini to run more than just the base set of ROMS. I have an extra Wii I plan to try to jailbreak as well. I've looked into getting an Everdrive style cartridge for my N64, though those are kind of weirdly expensive. Not everything is about playing more games though, sometimes it's just…
