Current boss. He’s nice, helpful, and all around awesome. He’s also a race car driver 🏎!

I met a student at my school who is in a grade a couple years lower than me and was interested in learning about Perlin Noise for a game he’s making. Yesterday I spent a couple hours working on reminding myself how the algorithm worked and teaching him how it worked. Best few hours at school I’ve had in a while!

Any players of the amazing “game” Eve Online here?

Algo is hilarious 😂

MURICA!!!!!

Sister: *walks up to me at my desk* Hey, I was wondering if you can undo what you did to the internet and put it back and make it work better in my room and also make it faster
Me: Sure

Yeah, I’ll get right on it and go hit the fucking magic button in the router settings called “enable extended range and make it go faster”.

Friend: Can you write me a discord bot?
Me: Sure, I guess.
Me: *thinking* I can probably do it in 2 hours or less*
Me: *2 hours later* why does this API work like that and why the fuck is my node module folder so big???

I had an important meeting today. It went great! And because it was good I feel good and excited, but I also feel really worn. Such a weird mixture if feelings

(Repost of my setup)
I love my setup. More monitors would be nice but this still works great.

Linux on the left, windows on the right. Perfect for a gamer like me.

I’d love to hear your feedback!

Finally set up my home server and port forwarded it so I can use linux everywhere even as a window pleb.

Now just to make a solution for not having a static IP address...

I wrote a program a few years ago which needed to fetch data from a website. Instead of using the API, I used a html parser and extracted the data myself.

The code still runs flawlessly.

I am building a website for someone who insists on having an online checkout on the website even though the business is entirely in person. I’m not convinced anyone visits the sight to begin with.

How do you like my setup? Ubuntu laptop on the left, windows laptop on the right.

(And giant rubber duck upper left 😼)

Had an odd bug today. No rubber duck in sight so I started using my friend (who is not a dev) as a rubber duck. He was *not* amused.

But I did figure out the bug!!

How do you guys handle a client who is two months behind in payments?

I am building a website for a local business and the owner is very far behind in paying. I am a bit behind in the development schedule, but he is in the know about the status and progress of the website and I’ve reminded him multiple times.

My server is taking 7 minutes to boot with an ssd 🤔...

Time to systemctl blame the shit out of the system and figure out what config I messed up!

Too young to answer 😛

I need to get a whiteboard for my setup. Erasing pencil marks 40 times doesn’t work very well...

I’m pretty sure “etc” in /etc stands for Extremely Troubling Configurations...

I wish laptops were more easily modifiable. Ram upgrade? Gpu upgrade? 10-GBit ethernet? Maybe I should just buy a desktop...

I’ve been trying to become a better linux user and learn some low level details about an the kernel and distro I’m using.

Today after a week of struggling I successfully diskless-booted one linux machine off of another.
I’m so happy, proud, and satisfied! Can’t wait to learn more!

New tech! Hell yeah!

There are no words for my annoyance with linux right now. I have spent way too long debugging the networking and still can’t connect to the internet. I’m just trying to setup a static IP on my local network... IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK???

The ancients had 1 Trilobite hard drives

My collection is growing...

What monitors do you all use?

D&D first time!

Went to an arcade with some friends.
This is only a third the tickets that we won... (I was in charge of making it look nice)

It’s my friend’s birthday. He doesn’t code much, but to encourage him I made him a series of programming challenges.
I hope he finds it fun.

Yay! I start a full time internship Monday!
