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…

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…

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…)

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.

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…

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,…
