Good morning,
I finished the HTML lab with tables and survey forms today. I haven't had much time to study over the last few days, but I'm continuing.
Happy Coding

Hey folks, only just about to load stuff on my computer. I've had a fatigued kinda day, where it has taken me ages to do anything.

But I've managed to make a demo coaster for #pyrography. Tomorrow, I'll see if I am capable of making a few in a reasonable period of time. I need to use square corners to get the strip straighter, as well.

But my hand pain had kicked in, so I need to stop drawing.

H is for… #Housekeeping
I’m spring cleaning my apartment next weekend. That means I’m making everything I need this week!

I have released a new version of the #Moodle #Wordselect quiz question type. This release is to confirm compatibility with Moodle 5.0 and it also fixes a minor bug.

Wordselect is a very easy to use question type that allows a teacher to create text where one or more words are indicated to be the correct answers. The student can select one or more words and is marked according to if they are correct.

After I started my first #IT job (and created my Digital Ocean VPS at that time) I decided to create kind of character card for myself, like in #RPG, for writing down my #sysadmin skill levels and progress. I did it in Postgres, probably because database container was one of first things I had on my VPS then.

I created slightly complex system of arbitrary skill and knowledge points, trying hard to not overestimate my skill levels. Like in standard games there are bigger gaps between higher levels and separate "overall sysadmin level" with own points, indirectly dependent on skills' levels' upgrades (and more directly on other kind of knowledge points). Many things are highly relative here as it is not possible to accurately describe own degree of knowledge in numbers. Also some kind of skills could have more "levels" (e.g. familiarity with more complex software learned gradually with time) than others. I have point scale for 10 levels now. And I am almost sure I wouldn't reach higher than 6-7 "overall sysadmin level" in my lifetime

I didn't update it since October 2023. Today I log in and tried to clean that mess. I feel I should make short paper notes about my progress frequently, like I was doing in previous job. Updates would be easier...

Great, succinct statement of how we should and should not incorporate AI into education.

Why Rust? A C# Developer's Journey Begins | by Chris Woodruff.

It took a couple of weeks learning how the the values yaml files for rook ceph are supposed to be written. But I have finally managed to get a rook ceph storage cluster configured on a Talos kubernetes cluster!

I can do this stuff!

Next step is getting it to work with an ArgoCD CI/CD pipeline.

My oh my, The Mind Benders class I taught at FOCI wrapped up last night and what a wonderful whirlwind! I had the most amazing students who time and time again, were so hungry for knowledge, and wanted to learn more and more.
We learned to bend neon, make digital vector patterns, blink the neon with programmable microcontrollers and I even showed them how they could work with a glassblower to pull their own tubes.

My TA, @dinkytown was incredible- typically fulfilling the class's needs before I even asked her. I am thrilled that she learned a bunch in the class.
It was able to train two FOCI staff members to bombard (the dangerous process of purifying and putting gas in the tubes)- so now FOCI neon renters can get their tubes filled quicker.
The artist talk and demo I gave was well attended, and now FOCI has the doodle I made during the demo in their permanent collection.

The amount of work and perseverance it’s taken me to accrue 24 University credits over the past 12 months has been significantly more difficult than I imagined.

Has it been worth it? Going back to University in my late 30’s?

Absolutely.

It’s given me purpose.
It’s helped me develop better critical thinking skills.
It’s opened my eyes to disciplines I knew nothing about.
It’s given my overactive mind a place to grow.
It’s taught me that my learning disabilities do not define me. I am worthy and capable.

Here’s to the next year!
