On November 12, 2019, I started blogging about what I learn at Lambda to document my experience there. The
original purpose was so that, when/if I need it, I have a list to consult of things I've learned here at Lambda and so
other people can see how far I've come in my time at school. I started off on LiveJournal, but today I am going to
move my blogging over to GitHub Gists.
I'll be reposting all my previous posts here shortly. It was going just fine over there for several weeks, but
they suspended me for some as-yet-unknown reason with no notice. So I didn't know until I went to log in and post
one day after being busy with school and ReactJS all week. So I don't even know how long it was down before I noticed,
nor do I know how long it will be before they respond. Really not happy about being treated this way.
You can read the content here for yourself since I'm reposting it; it's rated G stuff, nothing major, no plagiarism,
no cursing, no adult content, nothing even slightly controversial. It's been two days since I asked what happened,
no answer, so I'm not terribly interested in blogging at a place where they'll just shut me down with no notice and
not tell me what happened.
Also, I haven't done anything wrong. As I said, I haven't cursed, used adult content, nothing controversial or plagiarized,
or anything like that. This blog is literally me posting every day what I learned in school and sometimes some links
to resources related to what I learned. As you can see for yourself, the posts almost entirely consist of, "I learned
X, then I learned Y. I did this for my assignment today. I worked on Z project, where I had to look W up or use this
framework, and here's where I learned a lot about W or this framework," I mean, really inane G-rated stuff. My most recent
post before it was suspended was probably the most inane of all of them, lol!
I can't backdate here, but in my own interests and so I'm not supporting such an organization that would treat me in
such a fashion w/o so much as an automated e-mail, I'm moving it to here where I know things will be handled fairly.
Clearly, I can't trust LJ with my content, and this is probably a better place to blog anyway since I'm already coding
a ton here. People who this documented journey might matter to will be more likely to see it here as well, so that's
the plan today. Onward and upward.
(This post will be both the first one and the date I did the move so readers understand what happened.)
