Learning A Bit

  • More on AI…

    While I have yet to take an actual COURSE on how to do prompt engineering, but I have read some documentation. For me, this is progress. I prefer to jump in and see if I can figure things out, especially if it is consumer facing. Also, I have asked ChatGPT and Claude to assist me…

  • AI is a lot…

    I’ve been playing with AI a bit… it can build a life size sand castle with a drawbridge and a moat, or it can be a kid drawing figures in the sand with a stick. AI is an amazing tool, but a tool that needs to be monitored. At least it did not delete my…

  • An AI engineered prompt

    Although I have not been updating this blog, or my Github as I intended, that does not mean I have not been learning. I have always been better at organizing other people’s stuff than my own! For example, at work I hooked up OpenAI’s API to our contact form to automatically catch spam before it…

  • Welcome to 2025

    “Welcome” might be a bit strong. It implies a greeting at the door—but at this point, 2025 has already unpacked and made itself comfortable. It’s more like, “You’ve been here a while and had a look around—how do you like the place?” It’s been way too long since my last post. Life’s been busy—building a house, moving a…

  • Summing up 2023

    This week, I have been doing some digital clean up. In doing so, I reached this blog and see some posts that were never completed. Instead of trying to fully complete them, here are a few highlights! AI – To be clear, not training AI, but understanding how to use it to get meaningful responses.…

  • Ringing in 2024!

    2024 is a New Year, and a new me! I started out the year going down a rabbit hole, but it was an interesting rabbit hole with a long history. Are you familiar with shows such as Expedition Unknown or Lost Cities Revealed with Albert Lin? These are just two examples, but there are many…

  • AlertYoSelf Reboot Progress

    As you may have read previously, I am in the process of rebooting an iOS app I had in the App Store. It is underway, but the end result is in question. The core is set up and working, being based on the Fastapi course from Eric Roby. Users can sign up, alerts can be…

  • The AlertYoSelf Reboot

    There is a plan, to join the present with the past. I am going to rebuild a (more proper) API version of my app, AlertYoSelf. AlertYoSelf was a little something I created while learning an earlier version of iOS. It made it to the App Store, and was actually downloaded a few times. (Un)Fortunately, the…

  • Evolution of Thought

    This may be the first post I have done that explicitly relates to something I have done for work. Not to mention an opportunity to show growth in how to approach items and learn from them for the future. The situation – The new site for work was created and pushed live. All was well…

  • FastAPI – quick to build, runs fast

    FastAPI is an up and coming framework for Python to create an API. Some would say it’s already here. Yes, its main purpose is to be an API, but it can still host a website. Much in the same way Flask is a web framework, but can be used as an API. They can do…
