Manual Labors
Yesterday I added an aspect of learning that has gone unused for far too long… I tried something new away from the computer! Crazy, right?!?!? I installed a garbage disposal. And part of me actually enjoyed it. I am not a homeowner so I would not have to deal with these kinds of issues. But…

La Petit Errors
Let me say, there is probably no such thing as a tiny error. The devil is in the details. And apparently the bane of my existence… Recently, two tiny, major errors caused me to waste time on items I should not have. The first error involves modifying a tutorial. For project details, you can see it here.…

Completion! (Mostly…)
Looking back over some the items I have been trying to learn, I have decided to narrow my focus. It has been getting waaaaay too broad. Primarily, I am cutting out data analytics and Docker for now. I need to figure out how to use the current tools well before jumping in to specialty items…

edX Comes to the Rescue
After deciding to not complete (and pay for) the 30 Days of Python, I turned my sights back to edX! I have started the course Using Python for Research, and have just completed the homework for week 2. The homework for week 1 threw me for a loop, and to be honest, I did not complete…

Mmmmmm, Pi……
And another rabbit hole presented itself to me last night, in the form of the Raspberry Pi! They have recently released a new flavor, the Pi Zero W. It has wifi integrated directly on the board! The local Microcenter had them in stock so I picked one up. It works wonderfully! So I decided to see…

Github revisited
Have you ever had that feeling when you are learning something, and then find out you were doing it wrong, or at least not in the best way? Yeah… I know I was not using Github to anywhere close to its capabilities, and I there are still uses that still need to be uncovered, but…

Django is powerful! (not the movie)
I have almost completed another tutorial on Teamtreehouse.com, it’s called Django Basics. And I have to say, django is a pretty impressive framework. Admittedly, this is the first time I’ve ever used it, or anything like it. Soon, I’ll post the files to github, but part of me feels like that would be cheating. It’s…

A Not Real Place
The other night, I made another step in the journey to learning python, virtualenv has been achieved! Virtualenv is a python version of VMWare or VirtualBox. It allows you to create a virtual environment on your local machine or server and not have to worry about interfering with your base configuration. For reference, I installed…

Bitten by Python
Yesterday, I completed edx’s Introduction to Python for Data Science course. If I may pat myself on the back, I received a perfect score! I audited this course, I did not sign up for the certificate. I will admit, this was a bit easier than I expected, it was completed over the course of about 3…

From the Beginning
I started a new tutorial, The Complete iOS 10 Developer Course by Rob Percival on Udemy.com. It is essentially a recap of his previous course, with the updates for Swift 3 and iOS 10. I made a commit of the infamous To Do List on Github. There is nothing particularly spectacular about this commit, except…
