Soldering is a very simple but complicated task. I watched some soldering today in person, and it was an interesting experience, while we were doing some work on my own laptop (that had a broken charging port). We had many issues, including but not limited to us, melting extra stuff on accident (we didn’t have heat tape), and the part being bent out of the gate. However, we did get the part in. But it won’t turn on anymore, and I don’t have the tools to diagnose that. I will replace this laptop (as school is starting and I really need one).

The last two posts have been relatively detailed and focused. This one won’t be. While thinking of ideas, I got lost, and that block from having ideas doesn’t apply to words. It is just that I had these topics I wanted to do, then boom. Nothing. So far I have 2/6 posts required for this challenge, and it’s definitely been something so far. Having an obligation to write is definitely an interesting proposition, however I just don’t have any ideas that I think are worth the time.

This more is just of a rant type blog post, instead of having much of a point to it.

Why now?

Well first off, see this Louis Rossmann Video. Clippy has somewhat of become a simple for a simpler time when our computers weren’t vigorously spying and reporting back information back to companies. Despite it being at the time just seemingly unneeded, and much in the way of productive writing, it did at least try to help. Despite being very simple and primitive, we saw what at the time would become our current AI craze.

The Introduction

I know this one is going to be funny for those who know, but a serious discussion must be raised about the “hm”, or the ‘.’. It represents the social discomfort that I have, to be honest. It is in some way, part of me now. I naturally say it when I type in chats. I use it as a substitute for further commentary. A way to not have to expound on thoughts; in some way it tries to dumb down my thoughts, but in others it provides just the right amount of context I want. It is a necessary but stupid part of my vocabulary, just like other cultural things I have picked up on in the internet.

The Story

I held onto my many stories, closely, there was no one that could come close to them. The hidden depths of those books goes deep into the nerves of my heart. Those stories had been rewritten thrice over, and had more thought put into them more than the many decisions I made throughout my life. I found myself weeping in the mist of the candlelight, as the words seemingly changed and shifted under the gloomy light.
The book pulled out of the oak drawer was blank. The book had the same brownish tint as the rest, with the same wrinkles. I had looked upon this book again, after so many years. The books all looked so similar, even having the same title. However, there was at least one thing that separated them. I found myself darting my eyes back to the blank wrinkly book, and starting with a list. I wrote five ideas. I moved my eyes back to the other books, and erased two of the ideas.

I figured it was the right time to release part I… with how crazy my life has been within the past 6 monthes… this is dated around 6 monthes ago just before everything happened…

The Actual Cycle:

The first step was mellow. The second step was withering. The third was the end. He followed along the dithering path. There was darkness simmering in from the trees. Darkness had consumed the surrounding area. They found light and walked towards it. They had not seen this light before, however the feeling was the same. It was a confusing feeling. They were not sure about it. However, the darkness approached further, and either they became part of the darkness, or they had to jump into the small glimmer of light that was there. They were not sure about the light. He saw the darkness in the light, the same darkness which led them into this desperate situation. The same darkness which permeated throughout their entire life. Follow the path, find something new

What is PHP?

PHP is a server-side scripting language. It can be used for a ton of things. The Project I started on stems from building a new website Redesign (broken link). I did not originally plan to finish the guestbook first, but I got interested into PHP, and programming in general. This is one of the few projects that I coded from the bottom up.

A guestbook

There was a lot of places I went to figure out PHP, mainly from w3schools (JS WARNING + AD WARNING), the PHP Documentation, and MDN Web Docs. My plan from the beginning was using PHP to store data from a HTML Form, to a JSON File. This implementation could be later extended to use SQL, or other mediums. This is the first part of a guestbook. If you want to see my code, you should be able to see it here code.

Introduction

Who controls the information on the web, the people? No, Google controls 89% of the marketshare for search engines worldwide, and the closest contender to that is the Bing search engine with a 9% market share. Most of the information found online is going to be sourced through the Google Search Engine and Bing. As a result, many of the smaller companies in the informational technology industry cannot compete with the likes of these technology giants.

What is Tos;DR

The Terms of Service: Didn’t read project ( Which I’m referring to as ToS;DR) was started in June 2012. This project was introduced to me a long time ago, on of the sites rated ‘C’ by ToS;DR, of course on YouTube. This projects aims to ’to help fix the biggest lie on the web’, which by their own website is that ‘almost no one really reads the terms of service we agree to all the time’.

Intro

Arch Linux is a great distribution. There is zero doubt about that. The syntax of the package manager, the choice by default, and among other things the wiki. But how did I even get to using arch Linux? Well- it was a long history, and that history is super long and complicated.

How I originally used Linux

As a child, at age 7, I installed Ubuntu. I actually ended up having the home machine drive entirely wiped with nothing to boot. I even booted ‘chromium’ os on a school computer. This I somewhat say ruined my Linux experience. As one- the apt package manager makes no sense. Second, Ubuntu wasn’t ready. I was big into Roblox, and I still am But again, this exposed me to the world of other operating systems other than the Windows 7, which at the time was the latest Windows version. I quit after it just not making any sense to me at all. Like for real Ubuntu: Apt feels so bad… Apt makes no sense and default repos didnt include alot of the stuff I wanted…
