#w-of-the-day day 92
Played a bit of minecraft and watched a few tutorials on python (i'm learning pygame currently)
#w-of-the-day day 91
Went out so i did nothing much, played a bit of minecraft and more college research
#w-of-the-day day 90
So, My internet has been pretty much dead for the past few hours ( still is ). I’m currently on data just to post and save my streak
#w-of-the-day day 89
Did a lot of physics and some sat practice, nothing much today
#w-of-the-day day 88
Today i didn't do much, just procrastination and more college research
that said i was looking for some domain names for myself and turns out I've already got a good one (i don't remember when though) along with a domain for a now defunct game i was working on. I should probably check it out again
#w-of-the-day day 87
I did a little bit of everything today, schoolwork, coding but mostly sat practice
#w-of-the-day day 86
After a straight streak of studying i managed to finally get some headway and do some lovely coding, .
Couple of sveltekit tutorials and going through redis docs was on my menu today.
#w-of-the-day day 86
After a straight streak of studying i managed to finally get some headway and do some lovely coding, i've been more on the do learning side of things rather than actual projects but i have some ideas in mind. So i am learning redis to see if it will fit for one of my apps
#w-of-the-day day 85
More studying, the SAT English passages are an eyesore (especially the history ones :dead: ) also brushing up on my math skills and doing schoolwork
#w-of-the-day day 84
I'm taking the SAT (registration still pending), 6 weeks till the may sat so I've begun studying starting with khan academy's excellent course (thank you sal :prayge: ).
Its quite a struggle doing this while also balancing my schoolwork but i'll cope through.
#w-of-the-day day 83
Complete Streak saving post lmao, I went out today so I did nothing post worthy
#w-of-the-day day 82
i'm making this post in 5am i have no clue if i've kept my streak or not but anyway :blob_hehe:. ESPR applications have opened so i began my application, Also some more college research
today is the last day of school before spring break :acongablob:
#w-of-the-day day 81
Ramadan Kareem 🌙 , today marks the start of a special month for Muslims all around the globe.
I was out the entire day prepping up for the month ahead and shopping, I’ve just come back home and I’m exhausted
Worst part is that i still have 2 more days of school :sadcatok: , but I’ll cope through
PS: apple’s low light photography is insane, this pic was taken In Pitch black not even joking 🤯
#w-of-the-day day 80
I bought myself some new chemistry lab drip,
We were supposed to have a lab session today but for some reason the one teacher that had a perfect attendance record was absent today :/
BUT 3 more days till spring break :peepo_happy:, looking forward to having some downtime honestly
#w-of-the-day day 79
I went out today to buy my textbooks and also do some shopping 🛍️ . Studying Grind mode starts soon
#w-of-the-day day 78
Not me writing my physics notes all over again in a different notebook :tw_melting_face: , I’m kinda confident about physics so hopefully it goes well
Also I’m now in the top 3 of the streak leaderboard :sunglassesblob:
#w-of-the-day day 77
My Day was fine until my physics teacher mailed my parents to let them know I have a physics test on Monday :eggsdee:
Had to halt my hackathon project so rip that, although I ate out today and had some sweet ice cream, so all in all a W day
#w-of-the-day day 76
Did some more realtime experiments, apparently redis has realtime support and can also act as a primary database?.
#w-of-the-day day 75
finally touched vscode after a long hiatus, i'm gonna try my best to finish mlh hackathon project for once. its a multiplayer game so i tried a bunch of realtime libraries to see which one is easy to use
#w-of-the-day day 74
I am sleep deprived (slept for like 5 hours) and I have a chem test tomorrow, studied as much as I could and gonna go sleep early so I can make up for lost time
#w-of-the-day day 73
No fruitful update today,i just play a lot of mincraft
got a couple of stuff i wanna build on the server so i'm now kitted out to be able to do so
(psst: you guys should join too, #minecraft)
#w-of-the-day day 72
More presentation work, Its still far from done and i have to submit/present it by tomorrow 🗿
gonna wake up early and hopefully finish this off.
also i got lucky and the physics test was postponed to a later date so :yay:
#w-of-the-day day 71
procrastination got the better of me today, although i've made progress in my pitch deck, its coming along well
also physics test tommorow so wish me luck :prayge:
#w-of-the-day day 70
ok this is the real day 70. Yesterday's post was day 69 (nice) but i made an oopsie.
i didn't do anything today other than study physics. i've turned to powerpoint to help me create a pitch deck but i didn't do anything other than checking out themes today,
~have to be~ gonna be productive tomorrow and finish a bunch of tasks hopefully 🤞
#w-of-the-day day 70
Did a bit of everything today, studied for physics test on Monday and also continue working on my mini project.
Also I hit Top 3 in the scrapbook leaderboard for the first time :partyparrot: , I’m coming for that number 1
#w-of-the-day day 68
i studied a bit of everything today, chem, math, physics.
Tried out redis today, looks promising for me
#w-of-the-day day 67
Its the senior meaning its also my turn to go through the college application roller-coaster, i made a initial college list and attended a tufts virtual open day. I came late from school so that's all i could do (and studying chem)
#w-of-the-day day 66
Organic chemistry just got 10 times harder, but I still somehow have it wrapped around my head
Hopefully it stays the same the entire year, Aiming be the valedictorian this year :prayge:
#w-of-the-day day 65
fuck apple, that's all i'll say
#w-of-the-day day 64
Tomorrow marks the start of my senior year of high school, 12 years of math and science comes down to the final year. Really excited (but also scared, mostly excited though) .
and as to what i did today, uhm. not much, i finished my mob farm in minecraft, i'm also working on a script for an elvator pitch for my app idea so that's something i guess.
also i have to apply to colleges this year, looking forward to that \\_
#w-of-the-day day 63
I'm building a mob farm in the hack club minecraft server, gonna get it up and running tomorrow (if i play mc tmrw that is)
did some more reading coding on websockets, really tryna wrap my head around it but i'll cope through
#w-of-the-day day 62
Today i learnt about websockets and multiplayer networking in general, there's this new idea i have that i wanna make a game for. Might try to finish it and submit to an online hackathon but we'll see
#w-of-the-day day 61
Finally tried out chatgpt, Holy shit this bot's seriously good, all the code that would take me minutes or hours to figure out in minutes, absolutely in awe over this thing
that said i still love my creativity so i probably stick to myself for ideas. This thing will definitely be useful in the future though
#w-of-the-day day 60
after 3 absolutely grueling, it is with great pleasure to announce that HELL YEAH I'M DONE WITH EXAMS. I now have a week break before senior years starts.
I wanna take part in this years reply challenge so I've begun solving old advent of code challenges to brush up my coding, and also a bit of minecraft.
#w-of-the-day day 59
last day of exams tommorow :blob_hype: , wanted to pizzaz my scrapbook profile so i took some help using the scrapbook css workshop to have a rough idea of how things work
(profile is not final, i need a better color scheme xD)
#w-of-the-day day 58
well that's it for exams (one more left being english but that's literally cupcakes).
extremely tired so just played a bit of minecraft
#w-of-the-day day 57
The last exam tomorrow (physics) and then I’m done with exams :prayge:
#w-of-the-day day 56
nothing today other than minecraft, full diamond gear now and a lot of resources, probably not gonna get on for the next 2 days though (keyword being probably)
#w-of-the-day day 55
I spent 3 whole days for math and math only but in the end it was worth it 😎 , i'm running on 3 hours of sleep so no productive stuff today
Here's me in the hc #minecraft server (you guys should join imho).
#w-of-the-day day 54
#hardware-party day 1010
It’s actually the next day but by the power of time zones I still get to keep my streak
Late night math (I hate studying late night but this exam is important so gotta do it)
#w-of-the-day day 53
#hardware-party day 1001
nothing today other than studying math :sadcatok:
#w-of-the-day day 51
#hardware-party day 1001
I did not use a soldering iron and quite frankly i don't think i will. Math is devouring me rn (Khan academy quizzes is the only thing keeping my cool), no progress today.
#w-of-the-day day 51
#hardware-party day 0111
flunked chemistry (well not flunked LITERALLY, but just wrote a disappointing paper)
anyway no time to grieve i have math in 3 days and I've got to finish this project too.
I got myself an astro blog running as i plan on writing a blog regarding my project, and watched a lot of soldering videos. gonna wake up early tomorrow (hopefully) and so try soldering for the first time 🤞
#w-of-the-day day 50 :acongablob::acongablob::acongablob::acongablob::acongablob:
#hardware-party day 0110
My cat printer woes continue, I've compared quite a lot of libraries (active and otherwise) and i think I've decided which library i wanna use.
Anyway Chemistry exam tomorrow so wish me luck, i spent wayy too long studying so 🤞 i do good
#w-of-the-day day 49
#hardware-party day 0101
Time to Tackle the hardest part of the whole project
THE PRINTER
This mini printer has barely a few libraries that I have to work with, and this definitely ain’t helping with the fact that I spent the whole day learning chemistry ( what the hell is ethanenitrile anyway?)
Halfway through the event, gonna have to pick up the pace, I’ve got something though so that’s progress
#w-of-the-day day 48
#hardware-party day 0100
i got called up to school to receive an award, that was fun but that took a whopping 8 hours so no progress today.
besides, how on earth do i read this rst code?
i might have to either
a: rewrite the code in node and use trello's official library, or
b: use the API directly which is going to be a lot of junk code
oh well future me will figure it out
#w-of-the-day day 47
#hardware-party day 0011
had an exam today so returned home tired, still did some coding
i found a undocumented python wrapper for the trello API so gonna use that now.
#w-of-the-day day 46
#hardware-party day 0010
It’s exam time and balancing has been pretty tropsy turvy but I managed to make some progress
Finally figured out how to use the hall sensor with the rpi (gpiozero sucks) and modified yesterdays button board to now work with magnets
All my code (working, garbage and otherwise) are now available at github.com/zeroqli/IOT-trello-board#w-of-the-day day 45
hardware party - day 0001:partyparrot_conga::partyparrot_conga::partyparrot_conga::partyparrot_conga: ITS TIME TO PARTY :partyparrot_conga::partyparrot_conga::partyparrot_conga::partyparrot_conga::partyparrot_conga:
And so it begins, going through trello's (actually meh) api documentation i've made a simple card mover that works with buttons, the buttons
I wish I could show you it working but it’s 11pm and everybody is asleep so it’s lights out, so here’s a pic
electronics and coffee, a midsummer dream
#w-of-the-day day 44
more studies, physics this time. Binge watched a few episodes of sherlock the tv show (is this what people call procrastination?)
#w-of-the-day day 43
Absolutely nothing today, studied for exams I guess (but barely)
Just watched some esports
#w-of-the-day day 41 and 42
day 41:
lost my scrapbook streak again though thanks to missing day 41, had fun speaking to fellow hackclubbers during the #hardware-party meeting call.
42:
CHEMISTRY
exams start soon so started revising the whole lot starting with chemistry ,whooped up my trello board from the ashes to sort everything and to try to be productive, hopefully it works out 🤞
#w-of-the-day day 40
i really thought i could some good stuff today but man i got tired fast
did some hardware hackyness and studied physics, attached is a hall sensor working as intended
#w-of-the-day day 39
only school studies today, finished my chemistry notes and prepared for my test tintype, wish me luck
#w-of-the-day day 38
THE MAC WORKED (for like 20 minutes before i decided to shut it down), didn't do anything else since i'm in study central
#w-of-the-day day 37
i'm installing mac os on my pc. I need this for the sole reason of app development (android emulators suck for me and i have an iphone)
will update when/if it suceeds
#w-of-the-day day 36
didnt right a single bit of code today, but made some educational progress (studies and hw).
anyway here's a picture of jeff from roblox doors saying hi
#w-of-the-day day 35
ya boy got a soldering iron, also made a valiant attempt at completing an mlh hackathon project (time is ticking and I don't even have a game loop ready xD)
final package for #hardware-party arrived :D
( not really theres one more item left even though i explicity told them to ship tyem all together :tw_face_with_rolling_eyes: )
#w-of-the-day day 34
started on a personal project, and did some light coding. (this habit is getting harder to maintain ngl)
#w-of-the-day day 33
more ELECtrONicS
its the weekend so its all about fun, did a lot of toying with hardware#w-of-the-day day 32
ELECtrONicS!!!!
i spent like 3 hours configuring my rpi to work with a rdp connection to my ipad for convenience, and made this basic connection
its a start of something, something big :D
#w-of-the-day day 31
my winterlings search bar woes continue, I've tried like 3 different libraries but they're either wayy above my head or just not working
also finally ordered the final parts of my #hardware-party projects
#w-of-the-day day 30
i full month :D (streak for reset due to time zones but eh)
not much, sorted through my electronics stack and did some studying (this is a lie)
all my components now nearty fit into these boxes, now onto labeling them
#w-of-the-day day 29
nothing much since school tommorow and a physics test too, i did sort all my electronics though so thats a win
#w-of-the-day day 28
oops, streak reset :p, didn't do much anyway since i was away for like almost the entire day
#w-of-the-day day 27
i did nothing today, just did some makeshift coding on winterlings and fixing a bunch of stuff on others #hardware-party proposals.
i have no picture to show for it but i will give this out of context image of the comments on one of my recent pull requests
#w-of-the-day day 26
it rained
a lot
also booted up my rpi for the 1st time (works like a charm) and did some shenanigans, no detailed pics cause im exhausted today
#w-of-the-day day 25
i am now a proud owner of a raspberry pi.
along with several other items for my #hardware-party project
thank you OH SO MUCH hack club for this oppurtunity
oh and i also went to a coding comp today but we dont talk about that
#w-of-the-day day 24
took a nap (amazing experience 10/10) and did some 2021 advent of code exercises. my #hardware-party items were supposed to come today but didn't arrive unfortunately :/
#w-of-the-day day 23
did absolutely nothing today (just of those days) but i got some hack club mail :D
also enabled screen time on my phone and boy its getting concerning (don't let the numbers fill you)
I’ve got mail !
Emirates Post broke my lamp :sadge: , but got some pet cool stickers :blob_hype:
#w-of-the-day day 22
Finally able to deploy winterlings to vercel without any hitches, so i can finally get a dino.icu subdomain and i'm also adding a search component to make it easier to find your projects.
check it out at winterlings.vercel.app, it works in phones too (although the css is still wonky imo)
Also school tomorrow so rip productivity
#w-of-the-day day 21
today was a good day, did some major work on winterlings and chatted a lot in #hack-night (ya'll should join too),
also may have commit spammed the hc winter repo trying to fix markdown files :p
just gotta finish the pop-up modal and i'm ready to sail this thing to the seas :D
#w-of-the-day day 20
got my #hardware-party grant approved and ordered some my items right away (processing so :prayge: that is goes through without a hitch)
#w-of-the-day day 20
did some work on winterlings, it can now display projects with multiple members too :yay: , completely exhausted my github rate limit and now gonna have to authenticate (idk how, tomorrow me will handle it though np)
#w-of-the-day day 18
my #hardware-party project got approved :yay: , so now its just a matter of getting it merged :D
tipped it of by working on winterlings
trying to figure how can i elegantly display team projects, this is gonna be much complicated than i thought :p
#w-of-the-day day 17
complete my (probably) final reiteration of my #hardware-party project. I wanted wanted nfc support badly (for both this project and something else) so i adjusted a few things to be able to get it
now hoping that nothing goes out of stock:prayge:
#w-of-the-day day 16
did some C++ and cleaned up my home folder
#w-of-the-day day 15
submitted my #hardware-party proposal, did it yesterday actually but forgot to post about it :pepega:
#w-of-the-day day 14
after 15 days of waiting, i am now an owner of a glorious sprig console
thank you hack club team for this wonderfull piece of tech :blobheart:
#w-of-the-day day 13
its FRIDAY THEN,ITS SATRUDAY SUNDAY WHAAA?
its the weekend, meaning its time to finish my #hardware-party project
its 1 am as i write this so its technically day 14 but we don't talk about that
#w-of-the-day day 12
*guess who's getting a sprig*:blob_hype:
my shipment has arrived to lovely dubai after a week-long hiatus in Switzerland (probably) and gonna get it on saturday :D
#w-of-the-day day 11
not much, did some coding problems and signed up for a codechef account
#w-of-the-day day 10
a very tiring day today (try going through 3 hours of math in one go)
did some more research on my #hardware-party project and did some physics homework (this is a lie),
not much done today but progress is progress so i'm feeling pretty good
personal opinion but Tuesday's are garbage
#w-of-the-day day 9 but not really cause SCHOOOOOOL!!! :blob_sad:
not much happened cause, you know, SCHOOL
did some extra work on winterlings and did some coding problems cause why not
i'm gonna have to decide whether i'm taking part in #hardware-party or not, doesn't help since apparently my finals will begin at the same period of building the items:confuse:
#w-of-the-day day 8
site's ready and builds fine locally,
but i have no clue why its not deploying in production
school tomorrow so gotta sleep early (pain) so gonna have to debug this later ugh
#w-of-the-day day 7
1 full week of progress, nice
i don't know why did i decide to rewrite the whole website in a completely different framework but i'm glad i did cause astro is MUCH better than sveltekit for SSG sites.
gonna add a nav bar to easily cycle through posts and see if i can somehow embed every users scrapbook tomorrow. deffo happy about my progress though#w-of-the-day day 6
its coming together, not long now
really thought i could ship my #hardware-party site today but debugging took wayy longer than expected (still couldn't figure out the solution lol)
btw i don't plan on using phantom sans and will switch the font for production
#w-of-the-day day 5
5 days already, cool
had to brush up on sveltekit's syntax for today, a lot changed since it hit 1.0 but i'm glad there's a stable release now and no more major changes will occur
#w-of-the-day day 4
not much, came late from school today so didn't get time to do anything
continued on winterlings (a makeshift frontend for viewing #hardware-party projects) and their progress using scrapbook
also the github search api is powerful damn
#w-of-the-day day 3
worked a bit on my sveltekit project and did (a lot) of homework
#w-of-the-day day 2
this is going to be harder than i thought
First day of school so i was extremely tired and couldn't do anything today. literally crashed in my bed upon returning
BUT i did finally decide on my #hardware-party project so that's a w for me
New year new me, gonna *try* to post a W for the next 365 days
at #w-of-the-day
day 1:
I finished my physics homework, and initialized the repo for a mini project of mine :D
Happy new year from the United Arab Emirates
slack didn't let me post in midnight
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
finished my sprig game and uploaded it to the gallery :peepo_happy:
ngl An organized workspace is oddly satisfying
my sprig game developing is spiraling out of control but still justt fine
its game jam time, after 3 days of "brainstorming", I've finally started coding.
This square is the start of something magical (and tiny)
