My Collection

This was originally a thread on Twitter but I've moved it over to the blog. It's a sort of virtual tour around my basement space and collection. We moved into our current home in 2017 and I've been slowly making small updates and upgrades here and there. It is not perfect, it's still a sort of constant work in progress, but it's getting better and better over time. My biggest gripe is the shitty ceiling. I have not come up with a good/easyish solution to the ceiling yet. I've had a few ideas but they all will take quite a…
Fortnite Fracture Event, Quite Disappointing

Fortnite Fracture Event, Quite Disappointing

Every so often, Fortnite has these big "Event" moments in it's story line. They are essentially just an excuse to destroy the island and revamp it, at least from a game play perspective. These often happen at the end of the Chapter, but sometimes also between Seasons. (The game is Chapters, subdivided into Seasons). For the end of Chapter 3, Fortnite had an event called Fracture. Compared to the Collision Event for Chapter 3, Season 2, this event felt incredibly lack luster. The way the events work, a half hour or so before the start time, it becomes the only…

100 Days of Python, Project 082 – Personal Portfolio Website #100DaysofCode

This felt like an odd one, but probably still a good one to be included.  I also was kind of torn on if I even needed/wanted to actually "do" it.  This part is effectively already "Done".  We created a GitHub.io site.  We created a Heroku based Blog (which I skipped in favor of doing it on my own server/host).  I also basically already have a portfolio website.  Right here, on this blog.  I post my projects, I write about them, etc etc.  I also have a pretty nice GitHub page, which is the best "programming portfolio" one can have. So…

100 Days of Python, Project 081 – Morse Code Generator #100DaysofCode

I feel like these last 19 projects are more complex and should get their own post each.  Just skimming over what they are, they all seem to be quite a bit more complex than a lot of the previous projects, and they also are given no help or instruction, just "Make X". I wanted to comment a bit briefly on the course as a whole so far though.  I've really enjoyed it, and I have lots of idea of projects I WANT to do, and I have started on a few, but I'm doing my best to force myself to…

100 Days of Python, Project 071-080 (but not really) #100DaysofCode

Ok, I'm going to be frank here. I'm skipping most of the Data Analytics portion of this course.  It's 9 Lessons, Day 71-80.  It is all done using Google Colab Notebooks, it's all extremely, extremely, extremely, repetitive, yet I am not really feeling like I am learning anything. Every lesson amounts to, Open this Google Collab Notebook, which is a new and... interesting tool, I guess it's similar to a Jupyter Notebook.  It's basically, running "code" in weird choppy step by step chunks.  Each lesson amounts to. Open a provided CSV file. Make a Graph Format the Graph. Maybe do…
