Daily status

This section was last updated on July 28th 2020 (07.28.2020)


June 11th 2020 DS

DS, in this sense, stands for: Daily Status. Not to be confused with the Nintendo DS/2DS/3DS/2DS XL/other DS (Dual Screen) brands. I have to do this so each web anchor has its own ID and that there aren't 2 anchors with the same value. Web anchors are like this: https://www.example.com#Section1 it goes to a specific part of the page. This section on example.com currently doesn't exist as of June 15th 2020, it is just an example.

First daily GitHub entry

I had a pretty successful day on a single project today, but not on any others. I am having schedule issues at the moment. I reinstalled Bejeweled Twist, along with the other 45 PopCap games this morning, but they didn't work in the afternoon, and I had to reinstall it trying to fix it. Bejeweled Twist was the only program not running. It would pop up a window, then crash. I tried every single compatibility setting, then went to the Internet. Apparently Windows 10 is stripping support for things, so I had to turn the resolution down to 480p to play. It wasn't very noticeable, since my laptop is already 720p, so I didn't really notice anything. I wasn't able to update any of my Gists today.

Things I learned in GitHub today:

  • Nothing

June 12th 2020 DS

DS, in this sense, stands for: Daily Status. Not to be confused with the Nintendo DS/2DS/3DS/2DS XL/other DS (Dual Screen) brands. I have to do this so each web anchor has its own ID and that there aren't 2 anchors with the same value.

Today was a really difficult day for me in the end, I was having severe issues with my laptop, every single program constantly froze the moment I did anything, and it did this for 4 hours. Behavior like this is why I have already had the last straw for Windows 10, and why the amount of negative straws is now close to reaching an integer underflow. I was able to get some things done, but starting today, I am fixing my schedule. This morning, I played Bejeweled Twist for a bit too long, but I also got some cleaning done. I realized today why the visualizers aren't working in Bejeweled Twist: I have to turn on 3D accelleration to use them, but I can't even turn that on, since the game is locked in 600x480 resolution mode, and the game thus thinks my system can't handle it. This is pretty disappointing, as the visualizers are a big part of the game to me. Also, the game collection is 32 bit, and Microsoft intends to drop 32 bit support soon, supposedly in version 2004. Luckily I will jump ship to Linux by then, I am still riding out the 1909 updates while I search for a good $1500 or less Linux laptop. I won't make the mistake of going through the Windows 10 installation this time, I am going to wipe it first thing and put Fedora Linux on it. However, lately, I am becoming really skeptical of which Linux distribution to use. There are so many, but it is hard to tell which one will work for me, I couldn't get the full experience with my Kubuntu and Fedora VMs, as they just felt like a crappy kids toy when virtualized with the settings I gave them. I have already ruled out Ubuntu (due to privacy concerns, I can't trust them after the Amazon incident) and Kali Linux (Kali Linux should never go on a primary device) but now I am trying to figure out whether I install Fedora, Gentoo, Arch, Mint, or something else. The only thing I currently know is that I will NOT be using Windows 10 ever again on a physical machine, only in virtual machines.

I created 1 new project today, which is a game that emulates the feel of the Bejeweled games in a more modern way, it is called BGemJam however I have hardly worked on it yet.

Things I learned in GitHub today:

  • You can comment on each individual commit made by any user. I feel like this is going to be really hard for me to manage if people start commenting on my commits, since I have thousands.

June 13th 2020 DS

DS, in this sense, stands for: Daily Status. Not to be confused with the Nintendo DS/2DS/3DS/2DS XL/other DS (Dual Screen) brands. I have to do this so each web anchor has its own ID and that there aren't 2 anchors with the same value.

I started out the first 4 hours of my day with really bad nausea, a really bad headache, a mouthful of tension, and strong dizziness. I was able to recover, and finish my daily journal earlier, then begin to work on GitHub. I feel really great now. I have been slow at work, but I am planning a full schedule change, as my schedule has been getting worse every day for over a month, and now it is time for an overhaul, as last night was the last straw. I am getting a little bit done today, but I am lowering the bar on what is considered a successful day, as I can't keep doing the "If you don't make 450 commits, today wasn't successful" that is just ridiculous. I have lowered it back down to the first week of GitHub standard where 100 commits or less is a bad day, and 200 commits is something to be really proud of again. I can't focus so much on commits, they don't matter this much. I also want to start going to bed earlier again, so that I can be up at 4:30 am and see the moon while I work, as I find that really calming, but I don't know if I can start doing this yet, as I have relatives staying over for 1 more day.

I have also started to publish versions of my repositories, as I need to better my version control system here. I am now also keeping a separate local GitHub repository with all my repositories.

Things I learned in GitHub today:

  • README.md files don't just show their dialog if they are placed in the root. README.md files are recognized in all directories. I honestly find this really cool, and I feel like I can make much better documentation on GitHub by doing this.
  • README.md files can also be in other formats other than markdown, such as txt and yaml. I will soon test formats such as HTML, XML, and possibly even PY and JS. (edit June 14th 2020, I forgot to write about this today)

I was supposed to start development on SNU 3.0.7 today, but I can't, since I don't have the space on my local storage, and I am not even close to fully optimizing SNU to work on GitHub, so I am going to delay it by a month.

I played Bejeweled Twist and Plants vs. zombies for a few hours this morning. I am not sure if this contributes to my issues, as I have done this before with no problems, plus worked on a computer for over 8 hours straight with no problems, and played other games for over 6 hours straight with no problems in the past.

I have been doing incredibly poorly for the past 2 days, with intense violent dizziness, headaches, nausea, stomach aches, sweating, backpain, tension, high blood pressure, and much more, but I have to stay committed to my work and never give up, as I haven't had a day off in over 4 years. I want to keep it this way, as productivity is one of the main things that keeps me going. I didn't get onto GitHub today until past 8:30 pm. I hope to fix the issues I have been having lately as soon as possible, as it makes life really hard.

I was going to work on a personal audio collection tool for other people today, but I had to stay committed to the SNU_2D_ProgrammingTools project. I am still adding Blockly and CAML support.

Things I learned on GitHub today:

  • Nothing :(

I am feeling much better today, and I don't have any physical problems. I also went to get a haircut today. To alleviate the past issue, I spent less time using the popcap games collection, but I can't just narrow it down to that. I got a lot done on GitHub today, spending over 5 hours working today to get over 380 commits worth of progress.

Things I learned on GitHub today:

  • Python README files don't actually output the Python code when displaying the README, it just shows the source code. I am going to try to make an HTML README file next.

I had a more mellow start today, I played games at first but limited myself. I began work today with Gist updates. I perfected my opinion on solid color design as of the moment, and I started a draft for todays version of the SeanPM_OnGitHub gist. There are some changes I have made to increase compatibility of the markdown.

I got some work done, but decided to go to bed early, as I was tired and really tense. Today was a good day for development, I also resumed work on new SNU repositories today.

Things I learned on GitHub today:

  • Currently, GitHub is trying to rename the master branch to the main branch (for newer repositories) to limit references to slavery. I am not too happy with the change, because the term master is used for so many other things besides slavery. I will be fighting against this a bit.

Some other examples of computing where it really is referencing slavery include:

Master drive

Secondary slave drive (usually refers to the first CD/DVD/Floppy/USB drive)

I had a very difficult day today. I have been missing my anti-depressants for a week, where all my recent problems started. Today started out with me browsing Reddit for a while, then I went to play Chuzzles on my laptop, as I haven't played it on an actual machine in several years. I didn't realize that Microsoft disabled my keyboard, and the first prompt was for me to create a username. I had been softlocked, so I had to do a hard power cycle. Then Microsoft had the audacity to do what they always do and update, even though the updates were still delayed for more than 2 more days. The update did nothing helpful, but luckily my programs didn't get corrupted... or so I thought. EXPLORER.EXE took damage from this. It now acts like its buttons are broken lights, just flickering; and I can't preview images in certain folders without the program screwing itself and all other open programs up.

I later on tried to get to work, I was having mouthfuls of tension, and back pain, and it just wouldn't go away. I kept trying to work, but I couldn't and I just got distracted. I made a little bit of progress today, but not much. I took several breaks, and eventually had a series of panic attacks due to how late it was, and the fact that I hadn't even really started yet. After finishing predecessing tasks, I finalized my decision: commit counts as an achievement are useless. I have always known that commit counts aren't everything, and after the struggles of recently, I decided to have full acceptance of the idea. I enjoy what I do, but when I am rushed with time to do it, then it just isn't worth doing.

I made my fewest amount of commits to GitHub today (25) and spent the majority of my time on 2 Gists, my GitHub experience Gist and a new Gist about the reasons why I am finally getting rid of Windows 10 on my next laptop. A 2nd version was published past midnight citing 109 sources and revamping the page. The GitHub experience document also got a major update, with lots of new content, along with a greatly improved index, which now is universal and isn't limited to the currently viewable Gist. I wasn't able to finish my work until about 1:30 in the morning.

Things I learned in GitHub today:

  • Nothing

I had a more productive day today, and I had my first external contribute from channa-my this has given me an awakening that I need moderation for my projects. I trust Channa as a contributer, but I am worried about people I don't know might start vandalizing my projects and me ending up publishing them with the vandalism going right under my nose, as I have billions of bytes on GitHub and thousands of files, something can easily slip in at the moment.

I wasn't able to update my GitHub experience file today, I didn't get the time.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • Users can contribute to your project without you adding them by default.

I had a less productive day today, but I began to version my repositories to help protect local backup versions from vandalism, and also to version the software better with Git. I updated the GitHub file, but after midnight, but I started editing at 11:50 pm, so it still counts as from June 19th 2020.

I was distracted a lot today, and I was having a lot of personal issues. I have also been pondering what channa-my meant when he talked about what I am doing right on GitHub and also what was considered funny, but I have been trying to just drop it and continue to be myself, as that is what got me to this point.

I made over 75% less commits today, but I still made some progress.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • Nothing

I made more progress on GitHub today, I worked heavily on various repositories, but focused mainly on my Khan Academy archive project. I have changed my importanceLevel on commits from 5 to 2, so that I don't have to have such ridiculous goals when I am not capable of doing so.

I made a significant update to my SeanPM_OnGitHub Gist, adding in 9 new sections that I planned out last night. However, also last night, I had serious issues getting to sleep, and eventually fell asleep near 4:00 am. I am going to bed a little earlier tonight due to this. I feel like I am tired enough to fall asleep and not set 5 different bedtime goals.

Today was a really good day for GitHub development. My importance of commits has dropped so that at least 10 commits daily is required, but I don't have an excessive requirement, however I really felt like working today, and I worked heavily on my personal audio database index project, making over 520 commits just today, a new daily record. I didn't play games very often today, I have taken a multiple day break from the PopCap games collection, and I have been trying to get out of the house more.

Today was another good day for GitHub development. I created 2 new repositories today, I have found some other projects I want to start uploading to GitHub. Today, I started with a brand new project from scratch, which is my first web browser extension, GitHubby and also I started an archive of my Java projects from my high school AP Java Class. I didn't do much else today.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • Another limitation was discovered in GitHub, after some original confusion on why I couldn't upload files to a directory, I just assumed it was copy protected. I have now confirmed it to be a pattern: files can't be uploaded to a directory that starts with a . or is inside a directory that starts with a .
  • The listed commits for the year has multiple years: I originally thought that after 1 year, it would either discard older commits or start scrolling. When I tinkered around on channa-my's profile I noticed that you can go around and see the user commits through various years.

June 23rd 2020 DS

DS, in this sense, stands for: Daily Status. Not to be confused with the Nintendo DS/2DS/3DS/2DS XL/other DS (Dual Screen) brands. I have to do this so each web anchor has its own ID and that there aren't 2 anchors with the same value. Web anchors are like this: https://www.example.com#Section1 it goes to a specific part of the page. This section on example.com currently doesn't exist as of June 20th 2020, it is just an example.

Today wasn't a very good day for development. GitHub had a redesign while I slept, and it looks really terrible. Some things got moved around and removed. I liked it when I could see the programming languages at the top of the repository without having to scroll. I also don't like the visual style given to it, and the expansion of the menus and divs. It has made it more difficult to navigate, and there is no way to go back. I didn't get that much done either. I don't like where things got moved, it makes navigation difficult. Also the removal of the count of repositories is annoying, as now people won't be able to know as easily, or at all.

For the SeanPM_OnGitHub Gist, I did an insanely large commit, adding over 5000 lines of blank data for the entirety of GitHubs existence up until me joining to today. I am hoping that there is a way to make dropdowns in markdown, as this document is now difficult to navigate.

Some positives today include development on a new uOffice repository, an office suite idea I have had for a long time, the revival of work of importing SNU modules onto GitHub, and getting my first Shell/Bash repository to a working state, along with a decent amount of commits. I was just slow today.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • You can view how much your repositories take up via repository settings. I don't know if this was added with the terrible update today, or if it was done before.

I had a really good day with development today and got a lot done. I did lots of work on various repositories, and added in a few SNU 2D modules. I didn't complete all my work though. I worked for several hours today, and had issues at times, such as Internet outage problems, and continued pain from a giant calus on my elbow due to having nowhere good to set it while I work, but I made it pretty far today.

What I learned on GitHub today:

I had a highly productive day on GitHub today, doing extensive work towards separate SNU module repositories. I made over 300 commits, and reached a total of 100 repositories today. I decided to make the Character Support my 100th module, as I love different languages, and I wanted to dedicate the 100th repository to it.

I worked for several hours today, and got a lot done. I have opened up the windows in my office, so now I get natural sunlight while I'm working.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • The features of GitHub plans (yesterday) - just the features of GitHub plans, I am sticking with the free version for now

I had a mixed day today. I didn't get as much done, but I spent time doing other things as well, such as visiting outside, going to the Verizon store, and getting more music. I added 8 more SNU repositories to GitHub today.

Today at 8:13 pm, my laptops keyboard finally broke, with both the D and C key going out. It is always the keys I am least expecting (except for the c key) I wear down keyboards within 1.4-2.1 years, as I make tens of thousands of keystrokes on a daily basis.

I had a good day with most of my projects today. I have gotten used to my USB keyboard already, with a 38% increase in accuracy, and this morning, I finally found a good trusted Linux laptop. Thanks to Canonical and the r/Linux subreddit for pointing it out. It is an XPS 13 laptop with all the specs I need. I also was on call with Dell today, and I found that it does have Fedora Linux support. My only problem with it is it has no reviews, but I have been searching for so long that I have decided to ignore my 4.0 star and above rule and test to see if it works for me, I might have to return it like my attempt at an Acer laptop.

With the new hope for Linux on a primary laptop, I have created a repository today that acts as a set of scripts that can install and update programs, along with doing a network test. I also made progress and made 10 more SNU module uploads to GitHub.

What I learned on GitHub today:

I had a very good day with development today. I have gotten used to my USB keyboard, but still have a few inaccuracy issues. Today, I worked heavily on getting SNU uploaded to GitHub, I created 15 new repositories for 15 more SNU 2D mode modules. There is an estimated 22 modules left for 2D mode, then I will work on the root modules. After that, I will be all caught up and will be able to continue development normally.

I worked for over 5 hours straight today. I wasn't very functional before 4:00 pm, but after that, I didn't get distracted and got everything I needed to get done, done by 7:50 pm.

I made even more progress on getting SNU uploaded to GitHub again today, I added another 15 repositories for 15 modules. There are currently 6 SNU 2D mode modules left, when not including user profiles. I hope to finish this project by July 5th 2020.

I have been working for over 6 hours today, with breaks from time to time. I have been listening to Portal 2 music while working today, as yesterday, I decided to give some other songs a try, and I continued that today. There are so many great songs in the soundtrack.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • GitHub truncates file names at a length when it becomes a 255 char file path - This is another limitation, but not that big of one, as I don't need to hit long file paths that frequently. It is still a limitation though.
  • There is a language GitHub detects called Jupyters notebook

I am working hard on getting my entire website uploaded to GitHub, except for things that are copyrighted or are above 25 megabytes in size. Today, I really pushed it and made 20 repositories. I have finished adding in all the SNU 2D mode repositories, and now I am working on root repositories, which will be the last step.

With this process today, I had to add in several user account modules. For my Firefox account module, I did really large uploads, including my biggest GitHub single commit so far, with over 1.20 Gigabytes of HTML and JSON data.

This process has been stressing me out a lot, it is really repetitive, but I am close to completion. I also made some big changes to my personal Gist today.

I have decided to quit earlier tonight, so I can go to bed earlier, and break my habit of staying up between midnight (00:00) and 4:00 am (04:00) I have had a lot of pressure today, I felt like I lost my sanity at one point. I am excited for July, as I get a fresh start on a new month of progress. I have been waiting for July for 3 days now. Goodnight.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • GitHub had a small redesign, and the upload page graphics have changed significantly.

I woke up early and did a lot within 10 repositories today. I have been having a good time. I finally found the perfect use for Firefox picture in picture, which is watching videos while managing uploads. I can't find any other uses for it, besides testing.

Today is the first day of July, so I got a clean sheet for progress for this month. I am nearing the end of the great SNU upload migration, and things are going to go back to normal soon. I stayed up a little later today, so I could put more time into my daily Gist.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • Not related to GitHub: [::] + V brings up clipboard history on Windows.
  • Possibly related to GitHub: You can set up 2 markers and type 2 things at once. I only got it working on GitHub, I didn't try it anywhere else, as it isn't that helpful.

I had a good day with development today, making 6 new repositories, and drafting the final 46 SNU repository modules for the upload conversion process. I now know there are 207 modules in total.

I took many breaks as well, I am preparing to finalize the website. I went to bed even earlier tonight, finishing laptop work earlier.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • The clone button was changed to code and the buttons were expanded.
  • There was a possible recent font change, or my Firefox .SQLITE file is damaged again/some other issue
  • {NOT GITHUB RELATED} I learned what the pause/break key does, it really screwed up my programs, making it really hard to fix, as I couldn't figure out which button it was. Keys did the wrong thing, pressing a would cause everything to be selected, typing would either write nothing or leave corrupted Unicode boxes, and trying to open a new tab would result in more tabs opening, as you couldn't type without setting off a trigger. The buttons I confirmed to be safe were F1 to F12 the WIN (::) key wasn't working, and the escape key didn't help. I even tried unplugging my keyboard and plugging it back in. I could have researched it on my phone, but I didn't feel like unplugging it to make a search. Once I identified the problematic key, I fixed it immediately, and began to do research on it.
  • There is a small amount of topics you can follow that will actually show up in your stars

I had a difficult start to my day today. I had some really bad nightmares, causing me to wake up and scream for help. I had lots of tension for the first 5 hours of my day, but I recovered. I am doing fine now.

Today was a really good day for development: I made more progress on the process of uploading all SNU modules, with 8 new modules being added. I also reached 10,000 commits today, a massive milestone.

I decided to work late tonight, and possibly tomorrow as well due to the 4th of July. We have taken the pre-cautions of making sure our animals won't be too frightened by the fireworks.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • GitHub doesn't do anything when you reach large milestones (like 10000 commits) no notifications, no badges, nothing.

Today was a difficult day for me, but I got a lot done. It started out difficult, as our family was installing a new microwave. In the process, the power went out. On top of that, I had to suffer through drills and banging for hours. Eventually, it was installed.

Now for the positivity: I made significant process on the SNU Old SeanWallaWalla Website module, and pretty much finalized it. I put in lots of extra work to make it more finished. I wrapped up work on it with 720 commits. A lot of the elements of it give me inspiration back to my childish ways of thinking, back then I thought I would be able to become a multi-billionaire and build a planet. Of course, that was just a fantasy, but so much came out of it.

I was able to create 2 other repositories today as well, but they were much smaller..

I have a Dell laptop coming on July 6th 2020, it is going to be my first Linux laptop, and I will do whatever it takes to keep it going. I will still be using my old laptop for a couple weeks, and slowly transition and test the new laptop. I am going to install Fedora Linux on it, as it comes with Ubuntu.

Also channa-my sent me 2 items: an Intel compute stick, and a USB 2.0 drive with an 8 gigabyte SD card. This present was definitely worth the nearly $5.00, throughout the day, I put more and more pieces together as to how all of this works together. The Intel compute stick is pretty much just Intels version of a Raspberry Pi. I can hook things into it, and this tiny little box can be used as an actual decent computer.

I have decided to also put 2 copies of Fedora (Fedora 31 and 32) and a copy of Ubuntu 20.04 on it, along with the copy of Lubuntu 16.04 that came with it. I organized the files, and now I will be the Linux man of WAWAWA, carrying around at least 3 Linux distributions everywhere I go.

Along with that, I just generally got a lot done todya, and had a good mood from time to time. I wasn't able to see the Lunar eclipse out the window, as it is visible in other states. Today was a really good day for development

July 5th 2020 DS

DS, in this sense, stands for: Daily Status. Not to be confused with the Nintendo DS/2DS/3DS/2DS XL/other DS (Dual Screen) brands. I have to do this so each web anchor has its own ID and that there aren't 2 anchors with the same value. Web anchors are like this: https://www.example.com#Section1 it goes to a specific part of the page. This section on example.com currently doesn't exist as of June 30th 2020, it is just an example.

I didn't spend very much time on GitHub today, I took most of the day off to do a hard drive backup. I was originally just going to get crucial files, but I kept going, and eventually after 8 hours and 35 minutes, I backed up every file on the laptop (except for system files and program files that aren't PopVap game collection, or Firefox related) I was honestly surprised I managed to copy 826 gigabytes in a single day, let alone less than 9 hours.

I also didn't account for the fact that I may get a new laptop tomorrow, my first Linux laptop. I did a little work at times. During the copy process, I did some work. I also have a story to report:

I have a miniature malware repository to use in virtual machines, 6 in total. Some of them go to the length of preventing the operating system from booting (example: the MEMZ trojan does a bunch of cool effects, then replaces your MBR (Master Boot Record) with an animated Nyan cat) They have been idle on my system for 2 laptops, and I had a crappy anti-virus (AVG) for nearly a year and it never batted an eye. Windows defender finally recognized one of them to be malicious when I tried to copy it. The weird thing is that it took so long, even with 8+ full system scans, and on top of that, it detected the only non-malicious file, which was the clean version of the MEMZ trojan version 4. I don't think I can trust Windows defender anymore, judging by this, I might have more malware that I am not aware of. Good thing I am switching to Linux tomorrow.

With the file backup, I relaxed and watched the copy process, it is entertaining to me. I took frequent breaks as well. I also learned the locations of some files I want to upload to GitHub, such as the rest of my Java class data, and MEDOS scripts.

Today was an OK day for development, not much was done.

I am back to full time GitHub work again today. I did a lot of work on a few repositories, but didn't create any new SNU repositories. I created a Patreon account today so I could make use of the GitHub sponsor button.

I made nearly 500 commits today. I still have 37 SNU modules to upload, but I have taken a little break from it.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • How to setup the Sponsor button on GitHub
  • The GitHub security log

I had a very good day with development today, I have almost added every other non-SNU programming project currently on my laptop to GitHub, I only have 1 left to add tomorrow. I intend to resume SNU development tomorrow with this.

I wrote my first project in Go! today, it was an idea I had last night. Unfortunately, GitHub doesn't recognize Go!, only the language that stole its name (Go - Googles version of it, which they claimed "wouldn't affect Go!" at all, yet they have completely buried it with their practices and false claims)

I was hoping to get back to SNU development. I only had 3 more miscellaneous repositories listed in my notes, but I found 2 more. After adding the 5 repositories, I noticed in my notes that there were 2 more projects. I was originally going to start SNU with this batch, but I added these as well. It is hard to tell emotion through text sometimes, so I would like to remind you this doesn't disappoint, or frustrate me.

I have come to realize that there are probably still dozens of projects I need to add, as I have only been adding projects on my laptops 1 Terabyte hard drive, I have over 6 terabytes of data on external devices, so theres a chance there are still other projects on them.

I have been making lots of progress on these projects, it is amazing how I have gone from "This is not going on GitHub" to "everything goes on GitHub" I just needed a change of perspective.

I am really hoping that these were the last miscellaneous projects, as I would like to finish importing the last 37 SNU module repositories. I have been getting a ton done lately, and I have been working on fixing some of my flaws in my personal life, I have identified 2 recently, and I am working on changing them. They were originally just minor problems, but I have reached the last straw on 2 of them within a 4 day period.

My projects aren't getting much recognition on GitHub yet, I am still in a calm period. It is giving me time to prepare. I would like to stop adding so many repositories weekly before I go medium (not big, just medium)

2 of the projects that are going to be hard on me are all 20 versions of Windows 10 Python Edition, and Windows Server 2016 Python edition, the current 2 major problems I have noticed are that the file paths are ridiculously long, and I am trying to figure out how to get them on GitHub. For reference, I can't even unzip them at the root folder of my computer without several files getting discluded due to a long path.

I have also made a discovery from this, which is that you can copy files from within ZIP files without them getting corrupted, it actually extracts them for you after copying them out. However, it is difficult to get to the files, as I have noticed that Windows is really slow when navigating inside a zipped directory.

Today was another really good day for development

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • The Wiki homepage creation page on GitHub was changed
  • I am starting to learn about .gitignore
  • I learned what a stale branch is: on GitHub, a branch becomes stale after 3 months of inactivity
  • I learned that you can copy files from within a zip file (see above)

I had a sporadic day with development today, I finally got my new Linux based laptop. I am now finally departing from my insanity with Windows 10.

The laptop is pretty small, but it has high specs, including an octo-core CPU, a 1 terabyte Solid State Drive, 1920x1200 display, and Ubuntu 20.04 pre-installed.

Some cons are that the laptop is really small, the caps lock key timing is weird, so I constantly type 2 characters in caps lock and have to correct myself. Example: instead of typing Sentence starts here I would type SEntence starts here and then I have to correct this. ALong with .md becoming .Md due to IGNORE.Md instead of IGNORE.md

I was originally going to test the laptop for a full week before switching over, but it was so great on the first day, and I was so excited to get away from Windows 10 and enter the magnificently beautiful and remarkable world of Linux. So I copied over 260+ Gigabytes of my data. There are still many things I haven't added in yet, such as my Firefox profiles, SNU distribution data, and some other files.

I did some GitHub work today. Work on the Windows 10 Python Edition and Windows Server 2016 Python Edition projects felt a lot less disorganized than yesterday, but it is still going to take a while to get past, before I can finalize SNU import work.

I didn't have the time to update my Gist today, but today was a life changing day for me, I am finally free from my insanity, and I needed the time off to get used to my new life.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • Nothing

What I learned on Ubuntu Linux 20.04 today:

  • The correct way to uninstall programs. Having Google Chrome and Chromium pre-installed gave me a tutorial on the 2 ways of deleting programs: deleting through a GUI, and deleting through a CLI (Terminal/Command Line)
  • The correct way to install programs (not through snaps, but through .deb files)
  • How to see how much space is being used
  • How to select the correct city on the world map during setup
  • How to fix screen flickering issues with auto-brightness settings 2x
  • How to copy, cut, and paste files correctly
  • How difficult it is to drag files onto Firefox on GitHub on Linux, it constantly flickers between upload and open 10 new tabs containing the files you wanted to upload at multiple times per second
  • How easy it is to take a screenshot
  • How to shutdown and restart the laptop
  • How to switch default programs
  • How to use info on the command line
  • I don't know how to exit Vim so I won't be opening it
  • How to export VLC Playlists without issues
  • How certain file changes I make don't always go through
  • What the file copy process is like

I got back on GitHub today, but I have been spending time setting up Linux. All my GitHub commits today were done on my new Ubuntu Linux laptop. Today was the first day in over a year that I didn't boot up my old Dell laptop.

My development was sporadic again today, I still did more work than yesterday. I am finally now a full-time Linux user.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • How easy it is to upload .url and .ink files on Linux compared to Windows

What I learned on Ubuntu Linux 20.04 today:

  • How easy it is to upload .url and .ink files on Linux compared to Windows
  • How to change the color of CPU cores, RAM, SWAP, etc.

I got to work on GitHub really late today, but made up for a lack of commits by working on 7 more SNU distribution module repositories, shaving off the extras from the stack of 30 I have left.

I finally got to updating my Gist, I have been getting caught by other tasks, such as laptop data transfers. Today was my 3rd day of using a Linux based laptop of my own, and my 2nd full day of usage. I have booted up my old laptop twice to get some files off, but other than that, it hasn't been used.

I worked late again today, and my schedule has gotten to a bad point again, so I am going to go to bed earlier to try and fix it.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • Nothing

What I learned on Ubuntu 20.04 today:

  • The FN + ^ v functions, as my computers keyboard merged the arrow and page down/up buttons
  • How to customize GNOME via a terminal, I learned how to put seconds on the clock
  • That you can use nearly any character in a folder name, unlike Windows 10, which restricts several terms. Some ones that work on Linux and not Windows include: @ % ^ * { } < > with only 1 key not working / and also not being able to use the . key alone, or with other . keys.

I had a good day with development today, reducing the amount of SNU repositories left by half (2 duplicates were found, 13 were added)

My new laptop had its first crash today, it wasn't a full system crash, it was just GNOME. My screen went black, and it took me to the login screen. All my programs were closed.

I feel like the crash was justified and reasonable, due to how badly GNOME was acting before this. I had no other severe issues today.

I started another miscellaneous project today that took a week of decision, which is the daily desktop screenshot project.

I am working on fixing my schedule, so I am going to bed earlier tonight. Today was another pretty good day for development.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • Nothing

What I learned on Ubuntu 20.04 today:

  • What a GNOME crash is like
  • How to show the battery percentage via commands

I had a really good day with development today; I finished some important projects, such as the upload process of SNU to GitHub (with the absence of several files, due to the GitHub 25 Megabyte file size limit, copyright, and missing access) I can now work normally.

I had a technical support call with Dell today, as I wanted to learn more about Dell's Linux support, and also get some confirmation on some concerns, such as the GNOME crash yesterday, and my flickering boot screen issue (sometimes, the Dell logo even turns red)

I am going to add in some other personal projects as well later on, I was working on and off again today, I took a break to get more music, and it took over 2 hours. I also had a lack of focus at times. Overall, today was a really good day for development, the SNU upload process is finally done, I can now continue to work normally again.

Today is also my 50th consecutive day on GitHub. I decided to do some more work tonight as well, as I found some more projects.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • Nothing

What I learned on Ubuntu 20.04 today:

  • (From Dell technical support call) - The boot screen is not supposed to flash
  • (From Dell technical support call) - Dell currently doesn't have drivers for Ubuntu 20.04, despite the laptop coming with it. Only 18.04.3 is supported by Dell at the moment
  • How important it is to NOT give programs root privileges, because the whole UNIX security model is built on NOT letting everything run as SUDO. A common issue that would happen is if a dangerous version of a program slipped through, and it updated on your machine, had root access, and performed the sudo rm rf -no-preserve-root- /* command, or just deleted other important files.

I had a slow day with development, and ended my daily 200 commit streak. I technically am not completely done adding in all my SNU modules to GitHub, as I didn't add Wikis to several I made yesterday and the day before, nor did I publish any versions. I worked on this today, but also tired to get used to other work again, I don't know if it is going to be easy to go back to normal now.

I had some time off today as well, and got distracted frequently as usual, nor did I experiment with Linux. I was going to download more music today, but I just didn't have the time.

Today was an OK day for development. Some big things happened, such as reaching 13000+ commits today, and reaching a total of 250 repositories yesterday, soon I will be moving to a 9 bit integer for my projects (from max=256/255 to max=512/511)

I did some finalization work at night, adding in the new MadLibby repository project, which is a Mad Libs client. and also finalizing another SNU module

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • Another design change occurred. the location of the tags and branches moved, it isn't that bad. One thing I am really happy about is the comeback of the repository count

What I learned on Ubuntu 20.04 today:

Not much I didn't experiment with Linux that much today.

  • How many Wi-Fi options there are

I had a bad day for development, but a good day for morning development. I woke up a lot earlier today, and made 102 commits by the early afternoon, then I began to significantly lose performance, and I started to feel overly tense, and hyper, and just too distracted to work. I was also in a lot of pain at times.

Today was just a bad day, tomorrow will likely be better.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • Nothing

What I learned on Ubuntu 20.04 today:

  • The names of all the GNOME programs
  • That my computer comes with a Torrent client, that is really nice, as P2P file sharing is really good.
  • That print and say in the terminal don't make output
  • That the $ should never be in BASH code, unless when in examples
  • How many features the Linux camera has

I had a much better day with development today, I didn't wake up early, but I got a lot done.

I mainly worked on personal projects today, but I also finished an assignment on the SNU Root module repository, and did some changes to some other repositories.

The 2 projects that I worked on the most today were the Khan Academy archive and my audio collection. These projects both hadn't been updated in nearly a month, and I gave one of them their biggest update (Khan Academy project) the other one just received a smaller, but useful update.

I also booted up my old laptop today, and I am so glad I finally switched to Linux, I can really see how bad Windows really is now. Literally the first thing I did was open the file explorer, and the CPU fan is already on with over 50% CPU usage. Keep in mind this computer has a powerful CPU for a basic laptop, and 8 Gigabytes of RAM. I really am not going to miss that, but I am going to miss the sound of the fan.

I backed up my 4 virtual machines, along with another backup of my downloads folder for things I may have missed, about 32 gigabytes in total.

I continued to work tonight, and I plan on going to bed early. I mainly just worked on my personal Gist offline. I wasn't able to update it yesterday unfortunately.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • That I am already screwed on my idea for developing hospital equipment, the field is already taken
  • That you can self-assign your commits on a repository that isn't yours.

What I learned on Ubuntu Linux today:

  • How unstable WINE is (I have been using notepad++ on WINE for a while, and it crashes so frequently. The pro out of this is that my previous 2 laptops would have deleted all my progress, luckily the WINE compatibility layer version of notepad++ doesn't do that)

I had a worse day with GitHub work today, getting less than 100 commits. I was so focused on downloading that I wasn't able to actually do anything on GitHub until over 20 minutes past 3:00 pm. I felt like today was going to be a catastrophic failure for programming work, but it was still on the high-end of my top 12 least productive GitHub days.

The good news is that I was able to get a lot of music to listen to while working, as listening to the same 12000 songs for so long has somehow led me to run out, as I am having difficulty switching between songs I haven't heard hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of times. The other good news was that I was still productive, but I really could have done a lot better.

Today just felt like a somewhat bad day, I still got to go outside and be productive, but I wasn't too productive. I also wasn't able to update my main Gist again today.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • Nothing.

What I learned on Ubuntu Linux today:

  • How to fix the tracker-miner-fs CPU issue
  • What the tracker-miner-fs process is (it is just an indexing daemon process)
  • Learned what the No Internet icon looks like
  • Learned that I don't have to be as scared of hit and run download issues as I was on Windows 10, where I don't even need the web browser active for it to just put a deadly .exe file on my computer and run it, now I can go to sites I normally don't go to without worrying about malware, I knew about this, but I am starting to realize mentally
  • Learned what the Linux web file system on Firefox looks like (viewing local directories in Firefox)

The GNOME Camera app "cheese" isn't as good as I was anticipating. I went to try one of my test webcam video ideas, but I found out that:

  • You cannot change preferences while recording with GNOME Camera (Cheese)

My idea was a stupid one to test out my 480p webcam, the idea was to make a video called "rainbow man" where I would make stupid faces while changing the colors in preferences to make myself rainbow colored. My other idea is still possible luckily.

I mostly learned web based things today

I had a comeback today, I got a lot more done, and only half of it was for personal projects. The other half was fixing SNU, along with its associated modules, and the main MEDOS repository. I fixed some issues, but raised more. I have been reading through my issues lately and fixing what I can. Unfortunately, a large majority (over 65%) of the issues can't be fixed currently due to the GitHub 25 Megabyte file limit.

I have also gotten a lot done on personal projects. For example, when wrapping up work on yesterdays journal, the document had over 5100 words. I haven't been able to get to 5000 in a while. There was a lot that was written, 16 pages (including a few images, only 4 images) I also had time to experiment with Ubuntu.

I plan on downloading more music again tomorrow, as I now plan for it to be a bi-daily thing until I am up to date. I am going to try and prevent it from affecting my GitHub work, maybe I can make the days I do this personal project days.

I had a pretty good day today. I also got my office re-arranged and cleaned up, got to go outside several times, and I was also productive today in all fields.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • Nothing.

What I learned on Ubuntu Linux today:

  • How to exit VIM (impossible!)
  • The very very basics of VIM (I was scared of opening up VIM untl this point, because of all the memes I have seen about how hard it is to exit VIM, it actually isn't that hard, it is just a little more complex than you would expect for a programs exit function)
  • How hard it is to install peazip for Linux (I am just trying to extract a single RAR file I have, and I have tried 2 different versions of Pzip, and none of them are even being detected by the software listing, or the usable programs to extract zip files list)
  • Still trying to see if the ping 127.0.0.1 command is endless, or if it has an end. I deciced to stop running it after 113 pings. I hope it isn't 56^86 (56**86) as that is just too much, I don't know what 56(86) means for this.

I only worked on personal projects today.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • Nothing.

What I learned on Ubuntu Linux today:

  • How to check free memory in the terminal (free -h)
  • How to clear swap memory (sudo swapoff -a) (I am currently unsure if this is safe or not, if you know that clearing swap memory is to be safe, go ahead. I need to do a little more research, and I will update this post declaring it safe if I find it to be) (curr_status=unsafe(unknown))
  • Found out where Ubuntu wallpapers are stored

I was very tense in the morning and early afternoon today, and I wasn't able to do much GitHub work today. Later, I got incredibly sick, and had to do something I haven't done in my entire life, just so I could survive the day.

Most of the day, I couldn't work due to poor health conditions, and critical health issues. Just note it wasn't COVID-19. Even if I were to get it, I am still young, and it won't affect me as bad (with current studies) plus there is a 2% chance of death, and a 98% chance of life. I still don't want to take that 2% chance, because you never know, so please make sure to wear a mask and go places with a mask and while social distancing (weird word, I know) when it is absolutely necessary.

I had a really good and much better today. I made 3 major accomplishments today as well. The first one was that I made a huge step to getting an iOS virtual machine; I found a website that has iOS firmware for every version and every device, and I downloaded over 500 gigabytes of it today.

I also got to test out my 10 terabyte external hard drive I got for my birthday earlier this year, it works fine and is not defective (even better, as the warranty expired, and we couldn't send it back if it had an issue, like the Seagate hard drive) it works fine, and I got it to work multiple times.

The 3rd major thing was that I fully recovered from a massive hard drive failure a few years ago, I now have every file back, and now 0 bytes out of the 500+ gigabytes are lost.

I also got some work done today, and learned some more things. I didn't do any real programming today though. I also made 2 more repositories, bringing me to the 8 bit number (256) I will now be upgrading it to a 9 bit integer (512) tomorrow (metaphorically, it was never a limit, I just wanted to have an in joke)

I have almost been on Linux full time for a full 2 weeks now.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • Nothing

What I learned with virtualization today:

  • I learned where to get iOS firmware

What I learned about my laptop today::

  • Linux: the Pitch issiue I had on day 1 is no longer noticeable, as it seems to have gone away
  • I can do 9 downloads at once with this laptop, my previous laptop capped at 5

What I learned on Ubuntu Linux today:

  • Nothing again :(

I had a decent day on GitHub today, I continued to work on getting a set of functional iOS virtual machines. I put some work into my commits today, and started my 257th repository, breaking in my 9 bit repository integer count (a fake limit I put and raised to have fun)

It is excessive, but I now have over 1 terabyte of iOS firmware. I plan on backing up my Google accounts next, so that I can delete them and continue degoogling. With my 450+ megabit Internet, and 250 megabyte/s transfer rate on my 10 terabyte external hard drive, I feel like I can download my terabytes of Google data within 3 days (as I downloaded a terabyte of data within 9 hours)

Today on GitHub, I focused work on just a few repositories. Something unique happened today as well: I produced the same number of commits today (101) as the amount of commits on my Gist archive repository up to this day (101)

I haven't learned anything new about Linux for 3 straight days now, I have been trying to find things to learn, but I haven't found anything.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • What a GitHub 500 internal server error screen looks like

What I learned on Ubuntu Linux today:

  • Nothing, again :(

Although I do have some things I remembered that I forgot to write:

Day 1 (in the afternoon) {ADDED LATE}

  • Unlike Windows, simply shutting down then starting up counts as a restart. I don't have to press the restart button to restart the uptime

Day ? (late at night) {ADDED LATE}

  • DRM is not pre-installed or enabled by default on my system, this is really great, as DRM sucks.

Day 2 {ADDED LATE}

  • The preview pane is not present in normal Nautilus, but is present in the download dialog. This is one of the 3 major things I miss that Windows has (the other 2 being custom folder icons, and automatic split windows)

I have been extremely out of focus today, so commit times have been very sporadic. Last night, I got sick and threw up 7 times. I was in 10/10 pain for most of it. I then waited 25 minutes and nothing bad happened again. Something upset my stomach, it might have been the cause of these issues today.

I eventually achieved my goal on the Khan Academy archive, but it took over 7 hours, when it shouldn't have even taken 2 hours.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • Nothing

What I learned on Ubuntu Linux today:

  • Ubuntu/GNOME know a lot of files by default compared to Windows, and have custom icons (C, EXE, YAML etc)
  • SVG and PDF files can have thumbnails in the file viewer, something Windows 10 can't do. There is also a functional default program for SVG editing
  • () battery viewer - insane amount of statistics for the battery

Today was my most unproductive day on GitHub. I was incredibly distracted again today, and I was only able to make 9 commits. I recently got back into Discord last night, and I have spent over 8 hours working on a family server, and I have been having a great time with it. I plan on integrating this into GitHub work. I hope my obsession with Discord dies down tomorrow, so I can get back to work.

There have been some bad choices I made recently, such as getting off a prescribed pill, and holding off an important project for multiple days. These have cumulated a lot of problems for today and yesterday. I recently paused work on my journaling (As of July 23rd 2020) but got back to it and caught up (As of July 25th 2020)

With Discord today, I have been working on a family tree server for all the people in my bloodline. I have over 50 channels in this server, and I have been learning Discord to get this server running. I also wore down my mouse changing over 2000 settings (As of the next day)

Today, I added in 3 new SNU repositories to GitHub, but didn't develop them. I am hoping tomorrow will be a better day (spoiler alert: it was)

Today was a big comeback day for me. I still had some down time. I recently got back into Steam and I played Team Fortress 2 earlier. My laptop is a beast for gaming compared to the last laptop I tried playing on in 2018. I am able to play at a smooth 1080p60 with very minimal lag, and my CPU usage doesn't even reach 80% (my last laptop would have been stuck at 96-100% CPU, and also 76-94% RAM)

I did more Discord work today, but it wasn't as obsessive. I got back to work on GitHub after 4:00 pm, and I did really well, even if it was just directory creation. Tomorrow should be even better, as later in the evening, I caught up on my journaling project.

I also created my first external issue on GitHub today for the LinCity NG project, as I wanted to help contribute to a Linux game. As of July 26th 2020 at 12:14 am, I haven't received a response yet.

I worked on my Gist offline past midnight tonight, I feel like things will go back to normal tomorrow.

I had another good day with development today. Due to the pattern of my work, I was only 1 commit above yesterday (due to a Gist update)

Today, I did my personal projects earlier, and got to work on GitHub earlier, as I plan on going to bed earlier tonight as well. Today I mainly worked on the Khan Academy archive, along with a massive update to the daily desktop screenshots repository, with the inclusion of wallpapers, and 100 new screenshots.

I haven't worked on any actual programming projects today. I have come up with a ton of new ideas today and I am trying to implement them, but I am generating ideas 10x faster than I can implement them (for the SNU and Meadows projects this number is actually ∞x, as I won't be able to implement everything by myself on my own in my lifetime)

I haven't been doing much programming lately, mostly just image uploading. I intend to getting back into programming soon, I have been trying to finish off some other projects. Today was an OK day for development. I also finally learned some more UNIX related knowledge today, after a few days of no new finds.

I tried to go to bed earlier tonight. I also did an important update to this Gist today, adding in some new sections

What I learned on GitHub today:

My GitHub work today was focused on the Khan Academy archive repository: 4 months of pictures in a single day. I have been having issues trying to do this for a while, I previously just got to 2 months then quit. I now have archived all my Khan Academy media from 2019 onto GitHub.

I did some music downloading this morning, and I stayed up a lot later on purpose. Today, I did a massive update to my main Gist, adding in several sections, updating over a dozen sections, and adding in a section update status to every section and subsection.

Today was a good day for development.

It has been incredibly hot outside here lately. For the past couple of weeks, it has regularly stayed above 37.7 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit) outside, and I go outside from time to time but get overheated within seconds. Today, it reached 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) and mostly stayed like that all day.

I have been having to tend to the animals more, as they have been suffering in this heat, and we have had to move them around and find a shady cool spot for them. The record heat that I have been in was 45.5 degrees Celsius (114 degrees Fahrenheit) this temperature was according to a car after getting picked up from a summer program in July or August of 2009. Since it is only July, I am wondering if this record will get beaten in August.

I still haven't caught SaRs V2 yet, neither has anyone else in my family. I have been wearing a mask when going out, and I haven't been getting out much. A positive of this pandemic for me is that it is socially acceptable to wear a mask, and the masks also help with my crippling social anxiety. This still doesn't come close to making up for the con of all the innocent and great people we have lost, so make sure to stay safe.

I have been putting a lot of work into my Gist lately, and my Khan Academy and Desktop screenshot archives, rather than actual programming projects. I hope to correct this soon, I still have 5 and a half months of Khan Academy data to add, then I will try to write something in HTML or Python again. I have some projects that have been held off for over a week now.

Life with Linux has been pretty great. There has been a 14000% drop in complaints in my computing when comparing Desktop Linux to Windows 10. With Windows 10, I had several major issues daily, with Linux, I rarely even have a single major, or minor issue weekly.

Last night, I compiled a list of most of the TV shows and movies I have watched so I could include them on todays Gist, along with some new language data. I also got to talk to one of my old friends again last night on Discord.

Today wasn't the best day for development, but it wasn't even close to the worst either. It was just decent. I didn't get to work on a project directly until after 4:00 pm, and work on the Khan Academy archive has become more difficult, as media from December 26th 2018 and below has to have 4 separate uploads, instead of just 1, so with the directory creation project, and the uploads, it now takes 7x longer to add in content.

I learned 1 new thing about Linux today. I am going to go to bed early again tonight, and I hope to have a better day tomorrow.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • Nothing

What I learned on Ubuntu Linux today:

  • How to navigate the file system while in the terminal (/ cd /dirname dir / + [ENTER]) - It is a little bit of a change from doing so on Windows. For those who need a cheat sheet., cd here doesn't stand for Compact Disc, it stands for Change Directory. The major difference between doing this on Linux and WIndows is that on Windows, I have to type cd.. to go down a single directory, on Linux, I type / then click [ENTER] twice and it takes me back to the root directory. I also have to type everything in exactCase, which should be standard anyway. Other than that, it is pretty much the same.

I got a lot done today. I didn't get too into programming today, but I did 1 project that didn't involve markdown or uploading.

Today, I learned how to create shortcuts on Linux. Due to how hard it is to find, and how it isn't obvious, I decided to create a shortcut tool for Linux, but then expanded on the idea and started the most advanced shortcut tool that is cross-platform. It contains features such as aliases, custom icons, CLI/GUI modes, tons of themes to replicate all operating systems, and more.

I mostly worked on my Khan Academy archive today, development is going to pause soon, as I am running out of things to add. I also worked heavily on my main Gist again today, updating several sections, and adding new sections.

Today was a good day for development. I also have 3 family birthdays today and tomorrow. Also, I changed my Firefox theme today, i was tired of the default. I tried 2 different themes, but settled with 1.

I did less work than yesterday today, I had a more relaxed day, as I wanted to spend time with my family for 2 birthdays (3 birthdays in my household fall on July 30th and July 31st) I made today a lesser priority work day, referring to it as a Gist day.

For Gist day I, I made 3 new Gists, 2 of them being separate chapters for my main Gist, SeanPM_OnGitHub as due to lots of worrying last night about reaching the limits on GistHub I split 2 large sections into their own article and linked them, saving over 230 kilobytes of space in the main article (over 38%)

Today was a pretty relaxed day. I also have been trying to learn how to install files that come as .tar.xz one program that makes me want to learn this more than ever is Compiz, which is one thing that has inspired me in many ways, and also one of my favorite graphical tools on Linux. I tried to learn how to do it today, but I don't know how to properly run Shell scripts or compile a program by myself yet.

I have also been trying to balance RAM usage today, my usage has remained above 85% all day, and I have been trying to cut it down, as my last laptop started to act horribly once RAM usage reached 94%, it got so bad that it took me half an hour to open a small document, and every program repeatedly stopped responding, causing a little over 1 hour of work to take multiple hours. This is one reason why unused RAM ISN'T wasted RAM.

Today was an OK day for development. All my months progress will be archived at midnight tonight, and I get to start fresh for August. I am worried about going into additional school years, especially with the pandemic right now.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • How Insights and Pulse work (full)

I have to do this so each web anchor has its own ID and that there aren't 2 anchors with the same value.

I woke up really late today, at 11:50 am. I didn't start working until nearly an hour later. I had to do some chores today, but I also had some noise issues while working, as I am sensitive to noise. Some good noise related news is that I found a really good song I overlooked today.

Today on GitHub, I again focused on separating my main Gist (SeanPM_OnGitHub) into separate chapters to reduce the size, and make it more readable. My current goal is to get it under 5000 lines, something I unfortunately didn't have enough time to achieve today.

I also focused on work for other projects as well, such as several updates to the SNU 2D Programming tools repository, and also adding a Wiki to the UShortcut pro repository.

I got most of the sections with subsections taken out, with only a few left. I could easily reach my goal by moving the daily status or version history sections out, but I am currently deciding if I should. The version history section will stay, as it is essential, but I am deciding if the daily status section is essential.

I have significantly reduced the size of this Gist in the past 46 hours, reducing it by over 380,000 kilobytes, and by over 10000 lines. I plan on making the majority of this Gist link off to a separate Gist. This process takes time, and I am still working on it.

I also began to learn the Boo and Vala programming languages today, as a part time project, and I changed my interface for Linux again significantly. I also finished a major update on the Khan Academy archive, and released the first version of the UShortcut_Pro shortcut tool. Today was a really good day for development.

What I learned on GitHub today:

Today was a decent day for develpment. I worked on a few different projects, including some Gidt work, but I didn't produce an update to my main Gist. I did 5 chapter Gist updated though.

Today was difficult personally, there was a lot of noise, and distractions. I still got a decent amount done. Today I worked on finalizing an update to the SNU Programming tools module, providing Gist repository updates, and updating the SNU Font LIBraru module with some new data I found, along with some ideas for tomorrow. This repository hasn't been updated in over a month. I work on things in cycles, where I work heavily on one thing, then move on to the next thing, then come back.

I learned that version 5.8 of the Linux kernel was released today. As a Linux user, I now plan to check for updates more often, and review things that might make their way into the next major update to Ubuntu, Fedora, or whatever I will be using.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • Posting an issue counts as a commit
  • The GitHub marketplace is where I can get bots for my projects.

Today was a good day for development. Althought I didn't make very many commits, I completed every goal I set for myself today successfully and smoothly, along with some additional projects. I finally got the Gist below 5000 lines by separating 9 more chapters, however I am going to need to trim it more, as I came really close to 5000. I feel like I am going to have to raise the goalm as trimming it won't work for much longer.

I have exported a total of 30 chapters. I have also decided that the daily status section will stay, but older logs might be archived. Today, I worked on the SNU Font LIBrary module, my Khan Academy archive, the SNU Programming Tools module, adding support for 5 BASIC dialects, and also work on the Gist archive repository. I published this Gist early, so I can prepare an update for tomorrow and also try to go to bed earlier, so there might be new content on this entry tomorrow.

I had a stressful day today. I didn't get too much done because of this. I plan on going to bed even earlier tonight as well. The Gist chapter process has been finished, except for 3 last chapters I will export tomorrow. It won't be as stressful and time consuming as today though. Today I got stressed out originally, as I thought there were 30 chapters, not 20. I eventually got it done, but I had severe tension and stress, along with heavy distractions in the first 3 hours of attempts.

Today, I also started work on a new project I thought of yesterday and heavily debated with myself if I should go through with it, which I decided I would. The idea is to create the worlds first free and open source microwave operating system. It is specifically going to be a smart Microwave that doesn't rely on the Internet, but can still access it. I am still thinking on if having a full-fledged web browser is necessary for it, I think it might be a little overkill, but it could be necessary at times. It is also my first project to have a non-Latin letter in its name, this specific project uses the greek letter mu (μ) or micro, as then it can be for minicomputer microwaves and microcomputer microwaves.

I exported the rest of the sections of this Gist into separate chapter Gists today, except for 3 new sections I created, which I will try to export tomorrow. I also moved the June and July 2020 entries into their own Gist, which also significantly saved space. Today, I created 20 new chapter Gists. It took me nearly 2 hours to prepare for this last night.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • The 404 page is actually a set of images
  • Private repositories are not visible to public, for some weird reason, I thought they would be
  • You can change the status of a private repository, it isn't stuck private
  • No other GitHub discoveries on August 4th 2020

Today was a difficult day for me. I didn't get too much done, and I was constantly distracted. I also got a little bit over 6 hours of sleep last night. I did learn a few things today, and I got some day. Less commits has become a new normal, I need to work on this. I had a day filled with unnecessary tension and stress.

I got a little bit done today, such as some important updates to the Programming Tools part of my site, which include increased support for more languages, a new GitHub and GistHub (gist.github.com) mode, where I came pretty close (for less than 35 minutes of time) of recreating the new Gist page.

Some goals I set that I couldn't accomplish today include updates to the μMicrowave project, I was going to lay more of the foundation today. A miscellaneous secondary goal I missed was adding in Khan Academy content for November 2018. I got all my other tasks accomplished.

I also started work on a new repository today, which is a weather part of the site. I heard more completely reasonable complaints from my parents about finding a good weather app. My grandpa noted that AccuWeather updated and he lost functionality. I have noticed this for many other Weather Apps in the current year, and I have seen reviews of the top 30 weather apps, they aren't as good as they should be.

I don't check the weather too often, but I think it might be important to me as well if I had an app for it, as I can't find a good one. The problem is that there aren't very many reliable weather apps anymore. So I started my own today, SNU WeatherVane. I will try to begin development on it tomorrow if I am feeling better. I also had to skip my journaling today and only do notes, which is a last resort. I really just wasn't feeling well today. I was fine all day up until the evening (5:00 pm)

I am hoping tomorrow will be a better day, today wasn't a complete failure, I had a good mood for the first half of it, and a few hours after that.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • Nothing :(

What I learned on Ubuntu Linux today:

  • You can rename multiple files at once (another thing you can't do on Windows or Windows 10)
  • VLC almost crashed twice, and the whole system became unresponsive when SWAP/Virtual memory filled, and the RAM usage reached 99.9% this isn't a Windows only issue. Another reason of proof of why the "unused RAM is wasted RAM" argument is utter bull%#$@ I have known for years that this argument is garbage, even years before I got into Scratch in 2015. I always knew that using up too much memory would cause a system crash. So theres that too.
  • My first Linux crash was not a system issue, it was a user issue. I can now say I have had 0
  • GNOME detects .vb files as VirtualBoy ROM image files, not VB.NET script files, which is a good thing to me
  • Starting to learn how to use GNOME Transmission (the Torrent client that came with my system)
  • No other Linux discoveries on August 5th 2020

Other:

  • I learned that Favicons don't have to use an ICO file at all
  • I relearned how to use the HTML5 <select> tag
  • That there is a difference between .vba and .vb files
  • No other discoveries today

Today was a better day for me productivity wise. I got up and started my other tasks first thing when I got on my laptop (journaling, Khan Academy daily session) then I went outside and also visited before getting back to work.

I got a decent amount done today, and I resumed work on the personal audio collection project, after a 20 day hiatus. I now plan on developing 14 more versions of this (I am making 26 updates for starters, 1 update for 1 letter of the first letter of each playlist title, A-Z (special characters, such as Chinese and Cyrillic characters, have already been implemented as an extra)

I went to get into Discord later today, and found that the debian file version I installed had an update, but the developers of Discord were too lazy to make auto-update functionality. I can't get from version 0.10 to 0.11 without reinstalling, and the functionality should have been included. Opening the debian file just redirects to the Ubuntu store page, which doesn't even have an "update" option. I ended up having to get a PTB version, but I didn't know enough about it, and also a Ubuntu snap version, just so I can use it until I can fix the issue with the debian version. I really hate snaps, due to them being proprietary and closed source, and not being able to install software offline, so this is always a last resort.

Today was generally a good day. I was able to get a lot more done when setting my main task to slot 0.3 of my daily tasks. (0.2.8 and below are waking up, setting things up, etc.) I was also able to reset my bedtime, but then end up staying up past midnight again.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • Nothing :(

What I learned on Ubuntu Linux today:

  • Bluetooth on Linux can connect to all devices, including phones. This is something I was unable to do on Windows 10. BlueTooth is going incredibly slow for me, I don't know if this is normal, but it is going at the speed of DSL Internet (86-96 kbps)(
  • Manuals on Linux can also be accessed in the terminal with the man command
  • No other Linux discoveries today

Today was another good day. I worked on my journaling and Khan Academy first thing after booting my laptop up and getting programs ready again today.

Today I made an important late discovery, which was that I can upload folders to GitHub. I discovered it by accident, and I would have liked to know this over 17120 commits ago, it would have been really helpful, as now, there isn't as much that I can upload with this method. There are some cons to it, such as empty folders not uploading, the same 100 file limit, the same 1000 file truncation rule, and the GitHub 25 Megabyte limit, but the 2 pros (folder upload, optional) somewhat outweigh the cons for me, which is weird, as it isn't normal for 4 cons to outweigh only 2 pros.

I continued work on the audio collection again today, releasing edition M (V0.0.13) with 13 more versions to go. I also got out of the house again today.

I wanted to do more, but my focus completely wore off past 5:45 pm, and I wasn't able to get back to work long term. I also plan on going to bed even earlier tonight, as I want to start waking up at 5:00 am or 6:00 am again. I like working when the moon is still out, darkness gives me lots of good memories and nostalgia.

I worked on my Gist offline, wrote some notes, and did 1 final Khan Academy archive today before shutting down.

I didn't upload a new version of the Gist today, I am holding it off for another day, maybe 2, 3, or however many it takes me to get to upload it again. It shouldn't take me longer than a week.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • Folders/directories can be uploaded to GitHub as well as files, but with the usual limitations of uploading files
  • No other GitHub discoveries today

What I learned on Ubuntu Linux today:

  • That a lot of packages that are installed aren't able to be run via an application, but through the terminal
  • The very basics of the Inkscape snap (For now, I am using snaps, as it is extremely difficult to compile a program that is distributed via tar.xz for me)
  • Linux has a swapfile, just like Windows (and probably other operating systems as well)
  • - is called a pipe (message me pi-pe872020 and respond with a source if this is incorrect, as this is not yet certified information)
  • How to run neofetch
  • How much better Konsole is compared to the default GNOME terminal (not proprietary, and many more features)
  • That you can view a list of manuals by typing man man (manual manual) into the terminal
  • No other Linux discoveries today

I had a good day again today. I got over 12 hours of sleep last night, oversleeping by 2 hours. I got to work slightly later, but still got a lot done. I planned on working on the audio collection project again today, along with the microwave project, and some other projects, but I didn't have the time, as I started to lose functionaliy at 6:30 pm, and I had ran out of time for today, as I planned on going to bed early again tonight, preparing for bed from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm again.

Today, I worked solely on the Windows 10 Python Edition project, as it is something I could easily make tons of progress on with the new knowledge of the GitHub folder upload functionality. It has saved me over 7 hours of time so far. I also got close to completion of the project today, but I ran out of time.

Today, I got to get out of the house again, and I also re-configured 6 virtual machines, and learned several things about Linux. I decided to work on finalizing and uploading the Gist before quitting today. Today was a good day for development, but I could have done more.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • What the blame option does
  • No other GitHub discoveries on August 8th 2020

What I learned on Ubuntu Linux today:

  • How to install KDE
  • That w is a command
  • That ls lists files and directories
  • That you can view the files and folders inside a directory without opening it by typing the name of the directory after dir
  • That Konsole can natively run Python 2.7 and Python 3 programs
  • That the dir command has a maximum of 1 argument (message me di-r882020 and respond with a source if this is incorrect, as this is not yet certified information)
  • That the ex command opens Vim
  • That the neofetch command also displays system information, along with the cool distro logo ASCII art
  • No other Linux discoveries on August 8th 2020

DS, in this sense, stands for: Daily Status. Not to be confused with the Nintendo DS/2DS/3DS/2DS XL/other DS (Dual Screen) brands. I have to do this so each web anchor has its own ID and that there aren't 2 anchors with the same value. Web anchors are like this: https://www.example.com#Section1 it goes to a specific part of the page. This section on example.com currently doesn't exist as of July 14th 2020, it is just an example.

As of today, I have officially had my new Linux based laptop for a month. As of tomorrow, I will be a full-time Linux user for a month.

Today was a difficult day for development. I woke up before 7:20 am today, but I didn't get to work on GitHub until after 4:00 pm. I got to work on other projects later, and mostly played games throughout the morning, playing Team Fortress 2 for about an hour, and Mari0 for over an hour. I also got out of the house today, and did some virtual machine tests, all virtual machine tests failed. I was trying to get another Windows XP virtual machine to work, but I couldn't get a functional product key, and I also couldn't get it to activate, as the VM had no INternet connection. I even tried the 0000 FF D5 71 D6 8B 6A 8D 6F D5 33 93 FD registry trick, and that didn't even work. So I gave up on the project. I was trying to finalize my recreation of my laptop from 2009, I have all the files, but I couldn't get the machine to work.

Anyway, not much was done today. I came up with a cool new idea today, which is a link modifying program that modified the color of different parts of a hyperlink, but not the links itself. I got the concept down today, but I temporarily halted development, so I could finish other tasks.

I also finalized part 1 of the build18 upload for the Windows 10 Python Edition project, I hope to finalize it tomorrow. I also had to delay Gist updates, despite today being the 1 month anniversary of my Linux desktop (all my devices no longer use Windows, and use Linux, as of 1 month ago)

Today was an OK day for development.

What I learned on GitHub today:

I had a good day with development again today. I woke up a lot later today, and got to work a lot later. I needed some breaks at times. I did not get out of the house today (other than going outside once)

Today, I finalized work (for now) on the Windows 10 Python Edition project, and made a minor update to my Khan Academy archive. I try to update the archive every even number of days, this time it happened to be 4 instead of 2. I still haven't gotten to making a full time November 2018 archive update yet.

Work on the Windows 10 Python Edition project took up the majority of the work time. I plan on working on the Windows Server 2016 Python Edition project tomorrow, as it has a lot less to it than the previous project.

I have been dealing with a lot of tension today again as well. I had a good day with development today. I am still doing the early bedtime thing, I might reduce the time further, so that I can wake up even earlier. I didn't have the time to post a Gist update today, but I further prepared it today, splitting the new Resume section out.

Today was a difficult day for me with productivity. I keep waking up late, and I keep getting distracted. I just haven't been very motivated lately.

Today, I finalized work on the Windows Server 2016 Python Edition project (for now) and did some work in other projects, along with a Gist and separate Gist chapter update.

GitHub had a stupid UI change today, changing the colors for GitHub commit activity, so now my activity looks worse and less organized, and unpredictable. I took the time to get the previous designs pattern a while ago, now it is useless, so here it is:

GitHub commit activity July 30th 2020

0 = gray 1-154 = green1 154-306 = green2 307-459 = green3 460-613 = green4

This no longer applies. I don't know why Microsoft makes horrible changes like this unannounced. They should at least document it better, as I am confused as to how the colors are applied, and why this change was even necessary.

I am going to bed early again tonight, I hope to get more done tomorrow. Today was an OK day for development.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • That the commit frequency colors were changed
  • No other GitHub discoveries on August 11th 2020.

What I learned on Ubuntu Linux today:

  • That there is a command called uptime that does exactly what it says (displays the uptime)
  • No other Linux discoveries on August 11th 2020.

Today was a pretty difficult day for me. I had an unbearable amount of tension today, and I couldn't get that much done. I decided to take my last 2 hours and 44 minutes of development time off and play games instead, as I wouldn't be able to produce a quality update with all my tension.

I did some important things today, such as picking up on older projects, including LinkLax, and SNU Family Tree, where I wrote a homepage, wrote some scripts, and added a Wiki (both)

I am doing a lot better today, but I didn't get to work until later, as I was procrastinating up to 2:22 pm, before I started work on my other projects.

I finished my other projects after 4:00 pm, but then I got into another project. I did another virtual machine attempt today, this time not even bothering with Microsoft Windows. I went and had 3 attempts at a modern Android virtual machine. The 3rd attempt was successful, and I got a functional Android 9 virtual machine (The newest that Android-x86 provides, as I want app support for as long as possible in this VM) it was a huge project that took well over an hour.

Here is my documentation from it:


It was a lot of work. I found a working solution today, I did 2 installs before this but couldn't get into the setup process. This is the solution I used: https://youtu.be/137jBpJniNs with this machine, I got every app from my current phone on it, except for Plants vs. zombies 2, it wouldn't even let me install it, out of over 130 apps, this one was the only fault.

Some other weird things: some apps refuse to open. I don't know whether it is due to compatibility, or not enough RAM, I am hoping it is due to RAM. And finally, I gave the system 64 gigabytes of space, but when I checked the storage, it said it was using 128 gigabytes of space, and that the operating system was using 65 gigabytes of memory, which is 1 gigabyte more than the entire disk I gave it. I don't know how this error happened. I even double checked; VirtualBox reports a usage of 64 GiB on Disk, and my systems memory only went down 30 gigabytes after both virtual machines.

I am just really glad I got it working. If anyone else wants to try this as well, here are some other links:

VirtualBox - https://www.virtualbox.org/

Android x86 (not just 32 bit, it is just Android for non-Android devices) - https://www.android-x86.org/

The Android 9 image I used - https://osdn.net/projects/android-x86/downloads/71931/android-x86_64-9.0-r2.iso/

I am hoping this will eventually replace my phone.

I didn't get to GitHub work until nearly 6:00 pm. I didn't have time to get as much done, so I did what I could with the less than 2 hours of time I had. I am hoping tomorrow will go better; I feel like I have lost control of alot in the past 3 days, and I am going to have to work to correct this. I didn't have tension while working today luckily.

Today was an OK day for development.

Yesterday wasn't the best day for software development for me, but it was a really good day for research, as I have had a massive increase in technical research thanks to the difficulty of getting this VM to function properly; it has caused me to further branch off on my research, and do more research again.

Today wasn't the best day for research, but it was a good day for software development. I made it a commitment today to get more control over myself again, and get work done. I was able to successfully do that today, holding off all gameplay until after all work was done, and getting to work before 12:00 pm. However, I did have difficulty working due to some distractions, such as a lot of noise at our house.

I also got out of the house today, and took my laptop outside of the property for the first time. I discovered something weird about GNOME and the Wi-Fi icon, which I listed below.

Ever since I switched to Linux from Windows 10, I have had a massive decrease in technical complaints and issues, going down over 1400% with 0-2 issues a day, whereas on Windows 10, I would have 5 to 40+ issues a day. It is so much better.

The only issues I had with Linux today was a popup for network properties, which I don't care about that much, it is the 2nd time I have encountered this error. It is very minor, and it doesn't affect me. The only real issue I had today is a user issue, which is that I kept accidentally clicking the middle mouse button on my touchpad, causing multiple versions of windows and programs to open.

I plan on trying to disable the middle mouse button tomorrow, as it has been a bother to me ever since I switched to Linux. The only solution I am currently seeing is for a command line method, which I decided to hold off for tomorrow, as if there is an issue tonight, it wouldn't be as good as a day when I have more time. I would rather save the big problems for another day, so I don't worry about them all night, on top of my other thousands of worries.

Today was good for development. I worked on finalizing an update to the SNU 2D Programming Tools module; I thought it was going to be a tedious update, but it was actually enjoyable. I also published 2 new releases for the Windows 10 and WIndows Server 2016 Python Edition projects, and worked on a new update for my personal audio collection.

I hope to work on other things tomorrow. Today was the start of me repairing my schedule. Today was a good day for development.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • Nothing :(

What I learned on Ubuntu Linux today:

  • That when you leave a Wi-Fi spot, the icon doesn't stay with a no Internet status for long. An error message will popup, and the Wi-Fi options will be hidden in a menu, instead of having a "no Internet" icon at the top
  • No other Linux discoveries today

I didn't have a very good day with development, as I didn't do very much programming.

I found out how to download entire playlists in the background with konsole + youtube-dl and I was able to add more than a full 1% to my giant music collection. I used up all the time I had full functionality to do this and other projects, and I was only able to update my audio collection repository today.

Today was an OK day for development.

I got a little over 4 hours of sleep last night, I couldn't get back to sleep this morning. I thought this was going to completely ruin my day, as I normally have significantly amplified pain when I get less than 5 hours of sleep. However, today actually went incredibly well for me. I was able to finally get to use my laptop at 5:00 am, something I have been trying to achieve for months, I got to visit with my family frequently, I got to do 299 GitHub commits before 1:00 pm, and I was able to complete all my normal daily tasks, all with no pain or tension.

I am going to have to get more sleep tonight, it shouldn't be hard now. I have always been able to function well with very little sleep, the only side effect that normally prevents me from functioning well is the severe overall body pains I get from it.

Today, I got a lot done, had time to relive my old childhood, watching the content I used to watch on my iPod back when I was in 4th grade, surprisingly, YouTube has kept a lot of it. 2005-2012 was an era on YouTube where people constantly uploaded and used copyright materials in their videos. Now it has turned to crap, as it began to get crappier and crappier due to the increasing limitations put on creators, especially with the denial of Fair use for all. Most things done in 2008 would get your channel taken down within hours before you could even do a half of a percent of what you could do in 2008. The problem now is YouTube is just a corporate platform, with a still decreasing focus on creators.

I rambled a bit, I was able to get a bunch of stick figure videos downloaded, in case the unthinkable were to happen soon. Today was a really good day for development by the way, in all categories (except for programming, I forgot to mention that last time)

I had a really good day with development today. I got nearly 12 hours of sleep last night, and made up for all missed sleep yesterday.

My commit quantity has been excessive lately, as I have been working heavily on my audio collection project. Today, I added over 90 new directories to the main views today, which took a very long time to do.

I plan on going to bed early again tonight, so instead of pushing past to the 2 music (projectless)/ directory for the S update, I quit for the night. I considered updating my Gist again and publishing the update, but I only updated it.

I haven't updated the commit count Gist in a while, I plan for the next update to happen once I surpass 20000 commits, which should be pretty soon. Today was a very good day for development.

I had another really productive day today. So last night, I went on Reddit and went to see how much Karma is required to create a community. I only had 72 karma (combined) yet it let me create a community. I will link to it elsewhere.

Today, I worked on the Subreddit for a long time, and also did lots of GitHub work, finalizing the S update for my personal audio database, and creating and finalizing the T update to the same project. These were the 2 most difficult updates to make so far, as it required an excessive amount of uploads, since there were over 70 directories per update.

I hope to finalize the project within the next 3 days, there are only 6 more updates to make until I am caught up. Work on this project has been my sole focus for a few days now, and I also focused on the subreddit today.

I am getting very close to 20000 commits on GitHub. Also about the Subreddit, there were so many customization options, I plan for my website (SNU) to have lots of customizaiton updates, similar to this. Kudos to the old Reddit design process (pre-2014)

I didn't publish the latest version of my Gist publically again today, I will try to submit the new version either after I reach 20000 commits, or after development dies down when I catch up on work with the AudioDB project. Today was another really good day for development.

I had a day with many distractions. I finally reached the 20000 commit milestone, but I didn't celebrate too much.

Earlier today, I was trying to put 23 videos into a playlist to see how much runtime there was, as the correct metadata wasn't showing up in the file properties. I went to open the 23 videos with VLC, but instead of just playing 1 video and leaving the other 22 in queue, it opened 23 instances and completely froze my computer. Time had stopped. I could still use my mouse, but I couldn't do anything. I was trying various keyboard combinations to either close the windows, or send the shutdown signal. After I plugged in my laptop, it became responsive and had the "you will be signed out in 1 minute" dialog. I closed out of it and tried to close more videos, then the screen went black and had its usal driver failures print to the screen for 1 second, then it shut down. I didn't lose any of my work, but I lost over 15 minutes of time dealing with an unresponsive system, and about 3 minutes to get everything up and running again.

Anyway, today I continued work on the audio collection, finalizing the U and V updates. I will be done pretty soon. I also started another project today that searches for and deletes unneeded IGNORE.md and .gitignore files.

I was very hyper and stressed out today, but I got a decent amount of work done. Today was an OK day for development.

I had a very good day with development today. I spent a few hours this morning and early in the afternoon working on catching up work on the audio database project. It took me 3 months to finish this project, and I am so happy that I finally got it done. It is easily one of my biggest accomplishments today.

During the first 3 hours of GitHub work today, GitHub was acting incredibly slow. I don't need to do a speedtest, as I have noticed that the GitHub processing speed is the same (its on their end) no matter if I have 70 kb/s to 4 mb/s Internet (last laptop on 2G Wi-Fi) or 460+ MB/s Internet (current laptop on 5G Wi-Fi) it started responding better later on. GitHub itself didn't report any issues or downtime. It was taking over 5 minutes to process a single file, slowing me down.

I am still really happy I finished the project today. I currently plan on 2 paths for tomorrow so far: a SNU Programming tools update, and work on my Khan Academy archive. I did some Khan Academy archive work later tonight to add diversity, I got to go outside for a bit as well and relax. I also got out of the house with my laptop a 2nd time today.

Just like I said, I got to updating my main Gist. I wanted to post an update to celebrate 20000 commits, but commit counts aren't as important as work on a long-term project, so it was better to celebrate the completion of a 3 month project. I will now only work on the Audio DB from time to time,

I have been also staying consistent on posting to my new subreddit. Today was a very good day for development.

I had a good day with development today. I discovered a GitHub secret today, started following and starring more projects. I also got a lot done and worked on a total of 9 different repositories.

I got out of the house with my laptop for the 3rd time today. My Linux elitism in public finally slowed to a halt for now, and I just placed music the whole time for everyone. I focused deeply, and only picked the songs I thought would fit best, and it worked really well. I was able to pull off a highly successful first car radio.

Today, I worked on some of the projects I planned to develop, the only thing I didn't get to was homepages for SNU programming tools, and some Gist work. I have also decided to make the Audio database a project that is updated as frequently as the Khan Academy archive.

Today was a good day for development. I stayed up an hour later with work today, I felt like it. I hope my schedule doesn't fall downhill from here.

What I learned on GitHub today:

GitHub secret icon

  • Discovered the first GitHub secret: .eliforp buHtiG ruoy no elif dm.EMDAER a ecalp uoy tel lliw emanresu nwo ruoy htiw egap a gnitaerC (The text has been reversed to better preserve the "secret" use a text reverser if you are desperate and want to ruin the surprise, it is understandable)

August 22nd 2020 DS

DS, in this sense, stands for: Daily Status. Not to be confused with the Nintendo DS/2DS/3DS/2DS XL/other DS (Dual Screen) brands. I have to do this so each web anchor has its own ID and that there aren't 2 anchors with the same value. Web anchors are like this: https://www.example.com#Section1 it goes to a specific part of the page. This section on example.com currently doesn't exist as of July 14th 2020, it is just an example.

I started work a little later today. I went to bed later last night. I had to quit work early with a severe technical issue that went unfixed for the night, which was that the August 5th 2020 daily entry in the Gist caused a critical formatting error that ruined the other half of the document. As of AUgust 22nd 2020, I have fixed it. I found that the <select> tag line caused the entire issue. I came to a couple other conclusions last night when thinking on how to fix this, but I completely forgot about this.

Today, I did Gist development early, and made my edits more public, as I am now using my special repository (seanpm2001/seanpm2001) as a sandbox, and general purpose GitHub development center. So the entry so far is incomplete, I will add more later.

I had a huge revelation last night, and finally found my full potential. I have been criticizing myself for years, but I finally fixed my mindset and now know I am a good programmer. I have now rebuilt the bridge I burnt about not going to College, and I now intend to get a programming degree, earning some money, and founding my non-profit organization. I don't know all this is going to affect my GitHub activity.

I worked on 9 different repositories again today, and made some progress. I had a lot of time to relax and research today. I also intended to make 8 final Gist updates to top the day off, but I was only able to make 2, I forgot how long it takes to update the files. Today was another good day for development, I have now had a full consecutive week of high performance work, compared to the previous suffering for productivity.

What I learned on GitHub today:

  • Through Wiki editing, I found that the extension for a MediaWiki file was really obvious and under my nose the entire time: it is a *.wiki file
  • No other GitHub discoveries on August 22nd 2020

What I learned on Ubuntu Linux today:

  • Nothing :(

I had a really good day with development today. I learnt some very important Linux tricks today, including building a program from source code, and running it. I also torrented my first file. Nothing illegal, just a copy of Wikimedia from their servers. I then stopped Torrenting on my main computer, as I learned of the danger of connecting to so many private computers, as my IP address can easily be stolen that way.

I learned a lot today, but my productivity has failed. I was unable to do as much as last week. Today was an OK day for development.

What I learned on GitHub today:

What I learned on Ubuntu Linux today:

I had an even worse day for development and learning today. I didn't get very much done, but I started a new standard for my repositories, which is to have an external directory, with a projectwiki, concept directory, release history, and issue history inside.

I didn't do very much today. Today was a bad day for development.

What I learned on GitHub today:

I started some new repositories today for some recent ideas I had, and I did very minimal development. Today was another bad day for development.

In my personal life, I started to play AdVenture Communist, to have another idle game, and to get the mechanics down so I could recreate it. I got addicted, my phone ran out of memory again, and then there were some internal family issues related to it, which resulted in a mental breakdown.

I stopped using OneDrive today, as the service stopped functioning correctly and was giving errors for everything I tried to upload, claiming the files didn't exist, when they did. I was going to use Firefox send as a backup, but the service has been down for over a month, so I went to my option I was considering instead of OneDrive, pcloud.

I had a good makeup day with development today. I got more done today than the entire last 4 days behind. Today, I started working in C++ as a main language in a project, basing it off of the language of 2 game engines. It will be a good learning experience for me.

I worked on several projects today, and had a strong focus, and quit before it got too late. I did some offline Gist work, but stopped shortly after. Today was a good day for development.

I worked on getting my schedule back under control today, and I had a pretty good day with GitHub development. I have begun to back up my dad's 2 terabyte external hard drive. I am working on making a full carbon copy, so that I can redistribute his data when he gets a new hard drive. His current hard drive is over 7 years old, and has crashed a few times, but it is still 100% operational, just slow (30 megabytes per second, 2 terabyte capacity)

I had an extremely good day with GitHub development today compared to the past 10 days.

I had a decent day with development today. I worked outside a bit today, but had to come back inside after getting bit by a bug. My family had a barbecue today, but I stayed behind and worked.

The complete backup of my dads 1.8 terabytes of data completed at around 4:00 am on August 31st 2020. It kept me up past 3:00 pm. I am obsessed with watching file transfers, it is really entertaining to me, and I can watch it for hours. There are so many pieces of data to process, and that is calming to me.

Today was a good day for development.

Whaat I learned about hardware today:

  • An external storage device (HDD, SSD) is literally just an HDD/SDD in a plastic/metal case (I knew this before, but it has been cemented into my head today)
  • External hard drives can go into sleep mode due to file inactivity
  • You can perform a hard power cycle on a superdrive (external HDD/SSD that requires both a power source and connection source, most common on drives of capacity 6-8 terabytes or larger) it isn't through a power button, it is through unplugging it from the power source/unplugging the power source
  • The cons of multiple file transfers at once (severe wear and tear, increased risk of data loss, overheating, increased risk of failure, slower transfer speeds, etc.)
  • No other hardware-based discoveries today on August 30th 2020

I didn't have a very good day with development today. I focused on other projects, such as video downloading, hard drive backup, gaming, research, and sorting. I also held off my journaling for tomorrow again, it isn't very hard to make it up, each days article only takes 30-68 minutes to write (not including writing the notes or starting the file)

Today I began to do a full account download of my old main Google account. This is my biggest Google account, and it has over 1 terabyte of data. I started the takeout process tonight at 5:18 pm, and as of 8:43 pm, it hasn't even fully processed it yet. I might have to start it tomorrow.

My little brother received a chromebook from the school. Recently, I lifted my personal ban on ChromeOS technical support, at the time, I lifted it because it was too biased, and now I have realized that I picked the perfect time to offer technical support for it, since there is a laptop shortage, and schools all across the world are giving students personal computers, in the USA, it is unfortunately mostly Chrome Books. Nevertheless, I will give free technical support to anyone who asks (if I have the time, I won't be able to help over 60 people a day)

I had a short development day today, but I did some Gist work. I started playing Clash of Clans and Boom Beach again today, after not playing for over 2 years (last time I played, it was early June or August 2018)
