Projects
Website
I made some changes to the website: cleaning up pages, fixing some styling and ever trying to organize MediaCow Touch 2's pages.
StaticSite
I added a few lines that copies robots.txt from the root of the configuration directory to the output. This may or may not fix access by search engines and social media which has been a problem that I have been trying to fix for a while now.
I made a small fix where a built website is overwritten if it exists instead of exiting with an error.
HP ZBook
After receiving an N156HCG-EN1 panel that had to be sent again due to damage from how the panel was removed from the original laptop. I put in the new panel and it worked this time. What I noticed initially was better contrast as the specification for the N156HCG-EN1 was 1500:1 while the N156HCA-EAC was 1000:1. I noticed slightly better color but it is not a major difference.
The longer response time was quite noticeable, especially when playing games which I rarely do on this system anyway. This may be result of the higher contrast ratio with there being more of a transition between colors. It is not as noticeable with most workloads I that I use the laptop for.
The N156HCA-EAC panel will be used for MonitorCow MNC-N156HCA-EAC that may be used alongside the laptop. I may do the same thing with the Samsung panel that was in the laptop originally. I can use the same design for MonitorCow MNC-N156KME-GNA though I would have to modify the mounting points for the controller PCB.
Personal
Relating to personal and social events, this week was better than usual.
VCU
On February 4, 2025, I went back to VCU to help move empty boxes out of the datacenter hallway. This time I met someone who I have seen on Discord in person who I have not met already.
College
On February 5, 2025, I have met someone who I have seen only on Instagram since early 2023 after discovering that my PC Hardware class was cancelled for the day; my only class on Wednesdays this semester. It ended up being definitely worth going to college that day.
