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…

Python and Python Scripting
This post is being created as an example of an area of concern while I am teaching myself… Am I learning the right stuff? I am beginning to look for a new position, and some employers are looking for “Python Scripting”. It was not a phrase I was familiar with and looked it up, but…

Twilio, a lovely platform
I discovered Twilio a couple years ago when beginning to build my app, Alertyoself. Twilio is a cloud communication platform that handles the difficulty for you. (This is not a paid advertisement, I just really like their service) Recently, I played with their new verification service, and I admit it is pretty nice. To be…
