Some fun facts about me: I can read analog clocks. I can use rotary phones. I can read printed maps. I can repair broken cassette tapes and duplicate them as well. However, I can’t drive at ease without Apple CarPlay. And I pin my faith on Google Maps, even for the grocery stores I’ve frequented hundreds of times. 🙂
Just sold my Nintendo Switch and games since I’ve been too busy with schoolwork to game. The ladies didn’t check my stuff but sent money my way outright. I let them go even though the money wasn’t really getting to me (due to a rare but huge delay in eTransfer).
I’m not encouraging this practice by any means but just wanted to say this is so Canadian. 🤣
Done the last big-ass assignments and all the necessary 1 labs. Now it’s time for a little unwinding: swapping tires, sending out Christmas cards, shopping groceries, etc. The first final will hit us December 12th, so I’m not really going to gear down.
While I was burying myself in the fifth and last assignment of data structures and algorithms, Alexa streamed this song, making me want to pogo in the face of the deadline.
For example, for the course Computer Organization and Architecture, the best 4 assignments out of 5, 6 labs out of 7, and 9 quizzes out of 10 will only be considered when they evaluate the GPA. So if you have gotten full marks on the first four assignments, the last one will be optional.↩︎
A man making two burgers at midnight is undoubtedly loving and caring, as long as you don’t mind him eating both.
What a Revamp!
I guess I have brought my blog up to code. Now the new version is ready.
One of the biggest changes is that this site is totally static, thanks to Blot.im. This means this site no longer needs a database, which is required by dynamic blogging platforms like WordPress. What’s the point of having no databases? Simply put, the site loads much faster, and the file system is simpler and more maintainable.
The posts on my old blog are all written in HTML. If I move them over I would have to manually add a “header” (meta data) to each post so that Blot can render them properly. They don’t even have file names but random post IDs, which means there’s no pattern to process them in batches. That would be a huge amount of work. So I’ve decided to keep the backup of the old site to myself and only move those longer, more important posts over here.
Now I’m writing on my iPhone using the Ulysses app. Posts are automatically synced to iCloud, where a folder is actually a mirror folder on Google Drive. This way I can take advantage of my iCloud Drive as a buffer storage since many iOS apps cannot use external storage other than DropBox.
If lucky you can even see my typing on the fly.
But hey, mind you, this is a static blog — my first static blog ever.
