Projects
MediaCow Touch 2
So, I do not expect to get the design parts of the project done by June 8 unless I drop everything and do nothing else but work on it.
The emotional push sort of faded after the April 25 Incident so I have found myself working on game design and the website instead.
StaticSite
Since I was asked to make a website for someone, I have started to make some major changes to StaticSite to have it better suited for the need of others than just myself First of all, I plan to deprecate the use of sections in pages and instead have everything defined in a markdown file. This significantly reduces the complexity of the code and maintainence efforts.
This would not be possible with the current markdown2 dependency I am using since it does not support custom extensions. However, Python-Markdown does support custom extensions.
This required me to rewrite almost all of the script since I did not really understand what was going on.
On May 16, 2025, I am no longer developing the website I was asked to make but it is important to finish rewriting StaticSite since it really needed it.
Extending Markdown
For this rewrite, I have finally decided to stop using sections defined in configuration files and instead have as much of the page layout defined in the markdown file. This removes the "sections" concept from StaticSite, making configuration files much more simple to maintain.
This significantly increases the line count in build.py but significantly reducing the complexity of configuration files. Also, the code is much more readable now with parts of the process being split into separate functions.
iPhone XR
On May 16, 2025, I had to get out the iPhone XR to get a phone number off from it. However, soon after, I started using it again despite the difficulties I may face if I want to get any photos I take off from it, as covered in Week 2, 2025. Discord on Android has never been a good experience but on iOS, it is a bit more tolerable.
Compared to the ASUS-provided Android, iOS is just a much better user experience but I don't see myself ever going back to it for my main phone. Whatever is on the Zenfone 9 may have left me with a bad taste in my mouth for Android though from experience with the Samsung S7 (SM-G930F), Android is not all bad.
Personal
Work
I see myself trying to get a job again real soon with my savings ever reaching zero.
