A place to try things

I’ve been trying to get a new job but it’s been a little daunting. Today I am starting something new. After watching a video that basically says you just need to have *something* out there that people can see, maybe with some videos talking about your process.

So today I deployed my first “hello world” type app to AWS just using the demo code. I have two projects I’m thinking of making for this:
1. Backgammon – I partially built a backgammon game in Javascript that was going to use a PHP backend.  https://github.com/rcanzlovar/backg

2. MyCalNotify – a simple webapp I wrote that accesses google calendar info in interesting ways and can also add events to the calendar. Currently in development with provisional approval from Google.

So yeah, I’ll be posting progress here.

500 words

i need 500 words a day about.. something.

i have many stubs of essays that pop through my mind from time to time. i used to like to journal, especially back in the day when I did it by hand. Doing it by keyboard has always been a little tricky, especially with regard to keeping track of it later.

I’ve been looking at the data that you can get Facebook to give you “your data” in the form of either a bunch of HTML files and jpgs or a bunch of JSON data along with pictures. The reason is that Soltahr wants to have a book based on her writings around the year, and it occurred to me that if i took all that she wrote on January 1 of all years and clumped it together, and then all she ever wrote on January 2, etc. It could be a half decent bad first draft of such a book.

so I have a book too. not sure what it’s aboout but recently i had the idea that something centered on my obsession with lines and state transtions. Other kinds of pedantry.
