liner notes:
Professional : Pretty productive day! I downloaded the completed application I made from the workshop I created that integrates a new feature of the library I'm using. I then deployed the application so that it's available on the web and not just in GitHub Codespaces. The application is pretty basic so there's no build step or anything extra. The point is just to focus on the features we care about without all the fluff. I tested the application a few times. I sent it to my manager to try out. My plan is to use the deployed app in a follow up email I sent to a person at a company that I'm trying to get some hardware to be able to showcase at my upcoming workshops. I think by following up with an application that they can try out on their hardware, they will be more likely to respond and want to collaborate when they can experience it for themselves. We had an all employee meeting. Cool to see what other parts of the company are working on. Spent the rest of the day working on the application and creating the follow up email. I also got some news about an upcoming workshop.
Personal : Last night, I spent a bunch of time trying to revive my WiFi router. I looked for another plug to test if the old plug got fried and the router was still good. Found one and when I plugged it in, the green light on the router came on, but I didn't see the SSID for the router. I then put it into Recovery mode and tried to install the firmware. I couldn't connect so AI told me that the board must be fried and I'll need to purchase another router. At least I gave it the best shot I could and exhausted all the options. I then did more research into a new router and purchased one. I also did some consultation with AI regarding my business and the equipment I'm looking to add to the shed. The result from all the research led me to the decision that I'll cancel my pledge. AI gave me a lot of good reasons and another perspective that I didn't see because I'm so deep into it that I didn't see all the overlap and issues that could come with the particular equipment. It's a good thing because the deadline is almost here. I didn't even realize that the equipment was scheduled to ship in 2027. I could use that money for equipment that I can get this year and use in my business to try and generate some profit.
I didn't get to set up the new router because it's been rainy all day. Going to try for tomorrow. My plan is to cancel my pledge before the deadline and I get charged for the equipment. Tomorrow is the 1st so I need to get my monthly bills paid. I just came across this pretty cool Web application that can create lenticular images. I bookmarked it to check it out later at some point. I really need to put in some work into this project that should have been released a while ago. Random obstacles aren't going to stop popping up so I just need to get it done. Going to work on all the digital stuff that I can get done outside of the workshop until I can get the WiFi back up and running so I can connect to my machines. I'll probably get some work done on the website update. I need to figure out how I want to structure the data so that the pages can load it. Going to eat dinner and get started.
Have a great night!
peace piece
