  • Pruning Is Not Just For Trees And Shrubs

    As I prepare to start looking for new employment, I needed to clean up my Github repos. This involves cleaning out a LOT of code that turns out to be “useless”. Per Dictionary.com, pruning is “the act or practice of getting rid of undesirable elements or excess.” And that is exactly what I did. The…

  • 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…

  • The Power of Hindsight

    I just took a closer look at my personal Github repos, and I have not added anything for over 2 years. This is absolutely DREADFUL. Like my previous post states, this does not mean I have been stagnant. If you’ll excuse me, I need to get to work. (Apologies for the super short post…)

  • 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…

  • Selenium and Pytest, making testing your friend

    I recently completed the course, Python From Scratch & Selenium WebDriver QA Automation 2023, at Udemy. (certificate). In full disclosure, I did fast forward through the “Python From Scratch” portion as I already have some Python experience. I also skipped the “Robot Framework” section. I purchased the course to learn Pytest and Selenium webdriver. Also,…

  • Reviewing the Beginning Again

    It has been too long… Again. I have had an epiphany, I am not sure what I am trying to achieve. For the last few years, I have dabbled in a few different technologies, with no specific goal. Nor with the depth I should have. There are so many areas of “interest”, that it is…

  • Bounced Back to Elasticsearch

    I’m BAAAAACK! To playing with Elasticsearch. I completed the tutorial a few months ago, and have decided to preview a few things for the project that has been in the back if my mind for a few years. (That will be discussed at a later date) “The Project” requires fast search results, but with the…

  • QGIS revisited

    GIS in QGIS 3 for beginners is now complete!. It was chock full of useful information, and helped with a greater overall understand of what GIS can accomplish. The way the class was structured, as a survey, was extremely beneficial. There were a few hiccups… One being the course was recorded using a different version…
