Day 1342 : Slow Tonight

liner notes:

  • Professional : Today flew by! I responded to some community questions. Finished up a training that I missed some modules when I went through it the first time at the conference I was working. I must have been really tired. So yeah, I did the training and dove head first in this next coding exercise. I've never really used this functionality of one of our products so I had to look though the documentation. The thing is that we don't have a sample application for this coding exercise so I need to do it from scratch and then create the coding exercise. Next thing I know, the day is over.

  • Personal : Last night, picked up the projects on Bandcamp and put together the start tracks for the radio show. I was also thinking through a new project that I could offer. Watched some videos and read some documentation on how to replace some parts in one of my machine and then I went to sleep.

A high-angle, panoramic view of a vast, high-altitude valley featuring dramatic, rust-red slopes and rolling mountains. The vibrant red earth in the foreground and on the left contrasts with the tan and grey rocky ridges on the right, while a small, clear blue tarn or pond sits in the center of the valley floor. Wisps of low-lying white clouds cling to the distant mountain peaks under a bright, expansive sky. The setting is Red Valley, Peru.

During lunch, I replaced the parts in my machine. Because I watched the videos and read some documentation, I was able to get it done pretty quickly. After work, I initialized the machine. I printed a few test prints and a color didn't work properly. I ran all types of cleaning. It got better little by little. I replaced the ink for the color with a fresh new one. Still really didn't work. I sent a message to the company's support page and even posted to the community forum with some pictures I took. I read through some posts and saw some suggestions other folks had previously offered and tried those. Between that and the stuff replied to my post, I got the color to print properly, but I kept getting an issue with a design. I figured I would just print the design on a test 3D print. So I did that and it worked! The issue didn't appear. Glad that it seems to be working. I need it for the order I got. Speaking of the order, I think I have enough filament to fulfill it, but to make sure I signed up for a notification for the colors at the manufacturer's site because they are always out of stock! As I was packing up and leave the shed, I got the email that the colors I want are in stock! I turned back on my laptop and went to the page and for some reason, my computer restarted. Awesome. The laptop restarts, I go to the page again and put 10 of each color into my shopping cart. Great. Apparently I wasn't logged in and when I log in, my shopping cart is empty. Nice. I put in 10 of each color again, then the past shopping cart items where there so it was double. I remove the extras and try to check out. The site says that some orders are sold out! HUH?! I go back to the shopping cart and one of the colors went from 10 to 6. Sure, great let me order. So I finally get through the order process and get confirmation that my order is placed. I go back to the product page and sure enough, the color is out of stock. In less than like 5 minutes it sold out. I should have more than enough currently, but I would be cutting it close and this store stays out of stock for months. The good news is that I think I found a filament that came in today where the color comes really close to the one that just sold out. I may use that for the single pieces and the stock that I have for the ones that are multiple pieces because they need to match. Oh and while all this was happening I had Google Gemini doing some deep research on that project idea I had. So yeah, I'm starting my weekend off really late but I got stuff done which is great. Good thing I got the starter tracks picked out and I'm ahead on other work for the radio show. Going to finish that up soon. I'll probably end the night looking over the report Google Gemini created about the feasibility of my idea. Going to take it slow tonight. I'm out! Radio show on Saturday at https://kNOwBETTERHIPHOP.com and the study session on Sunday at https://untilit.works

Have a great night and weekend!
