The Quail's Nest

Well, it finally happened. I finished a project for the first time in my life. I never thought this day would come. I have so many people to thank. First and foremost, Frankie, with his soulless eyes, kept pushing me to achieve far and beyond.    That's the look of utmost happiness The Python Snake game project was my Grade 10 Final Project submission. Back then it was just a rudimentary shell of what it is today. It only implemented the single-player mode of the game, and it didn't have any of the bells and whistles it does today.  So here's my final post on this topic. Initially, I didn't plan on working on this project. I didn't feel like creating a game for the second time and decided I wanted to do something with a real-world value.  My plan was to expand on the idea of the COVID Calculator I had mentioned in one of my previous posts. With all this stuff going on in the world right now, what could get more 'real-world' than a program that predicts the ...

I was debating whether to actually write on this topic or not because I'm not sure I have much to say in the matter. But I decided to anyway because I wanted to. There are two types of word editing styles: WYSIWYM and WYSIWYG . They're both obviously acronyms, otherwise it would mean humanity was unstable enough to create humans who thought words like WYSIWYM and WYSIWYG were okay for human speech. WYSIWYG: What you see is what you get This is the one that most people are familiar with. You type in something, and when you publish or export that text, it's gonna look exactly the way you typed it in (hence the name). Stuff like MS Word, Google Docs, Apple Pages, LibreOffice Writer are all WYSIWYG editors/softwares. WYSIWYG is more widely known compared to WYSIWYM because it gives you an easy view of what you're typing in. You can add images and format the document while you type in the content. WYSIWYM: What you see is what you mean This one is a bit different. When you t...

I got something better to put here, but I thought this would look funnier. This is just a side post talking about a few applicaitions I discovered this year, that I think are pretty cool in-concept. Ferdi: Ferdi is actually a fork of another program called Franz, but both serve the same function. They're browser clients that host all your social media accounts in one place for easy access. Franz is paid while Ferdi is free.  Now I don't have many social media accounts (the less you have, the better) , but the program did allow me to host all my services in one place: Whatsapp, Gmail, Reddit, Discord, etc. You can also add custom websites that are not offered in-built by Ferdi, which allows me to check up on websites that aren't even social media sites. Now that I'm maining Linux, I just set Ferdi to autostart in a designated workspace everytime I start my computer, and it justs sits there allowing me to check in on it anytime I want without having to use my main browser...
