ran 'npm outdated' on an old fullstack project I wanted to work on again. Got a lot of fixing to do.

It is. But I’m still stuck on password reset and almost got the delete profile finished. It’s 4 users and they’re all me. I’d also like to make a guest account option where users could just browse the site and check out public sounds users have uploaded.

Playing around with the VFX-JS library to add some fun animations to my "Sounds Spooky" site. Updated the flickering effect for title using CSS and added a glitch animation to the ghost microphone image.

When I see an open source GitHub repository that has an open issue I know I can solve and contribute to.

Monday, or as I like to call it : “the day I forget everything I’ve ever learned about coding.”

These days have really been daying.

Taking breaks from learning Vue to make some fun beats in Strudel.

A picture of me wearing a large puffy coat black hat and a black a white scarf covering most of my face.

-10 degrees Fahrenheit, over a foot of snow. Walking to the corner store. Do you need anything?

Got my Mom into Studio Ghibli movies. She’s watched “Spirited Away”, “Whisper of the Heart”, and “Ponyo”.
She just texted me asking if she should watch “Grave of the Fireflies”.

Thanks Xena!

I feel like I’ve been sick since before the holidays.
Starting to feel better and then I hurt my back.
What a great start to the year.
Now I’m just focusing my energy into learning Vue and finishing up my other coding projects.

LinkedIn sending me a notification to watch my year in review.

“Hey consumer, we added an AI feature to that thing you use. No it doesn’t improve your experience…no it doesn’t help with productivity. It’s here to collect and steal everything about you and sell it. Pretty cool, right!? And best part, you can’t turn it off.”

python code for moving zeroes to back of an array while keeping order of other numbers intact. code is as follows: def moveZeroes(nums): index = 0 for num in nums: if num != 0: nums[index] = num index += 1 for i in range(index, len(nums)): nums[i] = 0 print(nums) moveZeroes([0,1,0,5,13]) #Output: [1,5,13,0,0] # Photo by Tim Oun on Unsplash

Refreshing my Python skills by doing some leetcode challenges.
Realizing I need to really up my Anki decks with Python material, as I feel I've forgotten so much of the syntax and quirks of Python.

There’s a blizzard outside but I got nowhere to go today, so I’m just tucked in and catching up on all the manga I’m reading.

All these companies saying they have the best office “culture” and that you need to be in office are crazy.
My home office “culture” is my cat telling me it’s time for a play break.
And nothing can beat that.

Still snowed in today. Luckily I have no on site calls today.
Making a simple e-commerce site for my portfolio.
While cleaning out a closet I found my old Nintendo 3ds. Even after probably more than 10 years, it turned on right away.
Time to bundle up with some hot cocoa and play all day.

My little snow plow can’t handle the almost 3 feet off dense wet snow. Was looking for a snow plow truck and this company’s website could use some work. It’s just the template with placeholder text in each section.
I’m going to see if I can get some freelance work out of it.

Almost the holidays, and the snow is coming down. Spent the morning doing some anki review and codewars.
Now updating my Sounds Spooky login page to have a flickering animation that only plays on landing page and login page.

text is JavaScript code with detailed comments at the top. Text from picture is as follows: /* Known as Kaprekar's Constant Take any four digit number, where none of the numbers are identical. Arrange digits to form the largest and smallest possible numbers, subtract the smaller from the larger, and repeat with the result. Within at most 7 steps, you always reach 6174. ex: 9218 ----starting number. 9821 ---- largest 1289 ---- smallest 9821 - 1289 =8532 8532 - 2358 = 6174*/ function maths(num) { let lg = num.toString().padStart(4,"0").split("").sort((a,b) => b - a).join('') let lgNum = Number(lg) let sm = num.toString().padStart(4,"0").split("").sort((a,b) => a - b).join('') let smNum = Number(sm) return lgNum - smNum } function kaprekar(num) { let steps = 0; while (num !== 6174) { num = maths(num); steps++; if (steps > 50) break; } return `${num} reached in ${steps} steps`; } console.log(kaprekar(9218)) //6174 reached in 2 steps console.log(kaprekar(2095)) //6174 reached in 3 steps

Heard of this interesting Math fact called Kaprekar's Constant. The explanation is too long for here but it's in the code snippet. Basically in certain conditions the result will always be 6174 within 7 steps.
So of course I had to code it. Could of used recursion but went with a while loop.

Seeing that snow is possibly coming to my area soon: “I love snow, it’s so pretty!”

Remembering I have to drive to a lot of customers places:

If you see this, post an anime you love.

Lady Yuna in her delightful elderly lady Halloween costume. Just want you to know she’s purring loudly. She loves costume time. I think she knows a fun treat is coming after

Happy Halloween 🎃
My cat was not a fan of my mask.

Found a solution. I needed a set timeout so that the function that checked for matches could finish and the hashmap would update and be counted correctly.

Everything was working perfect. But now suddenly it doesn't work, and I didn't make any changes. What a headache

Javascript code is as follows: if (name1 === name2) { if(killers.includes(name1)){ matchedKillers[name1]++; } const totalKillerPairs = Object.values(matchedKillers).filter(count => count >= 2).length if (totalKillerPairs == 2) { setTimeout(() => { alert(`You got caught!`); resetGame(); }, 500); }

Working on a little Halloween game that is a rework of a previous memory game I made.
Was losing my mind why it wouldn't trigger game over when two pairs were found.
Turns out I had typed it wrong. Object.value() instead of Object.values() so it was always undefined.
Mondays, right!?

“My art isn’t good, my writing isn’t good, I’m just bad at making things. ”

Just do the thing.
If you love it.

Draw, paint, write silly poems.

Take out of focus pictures
Of the ones you love.
