Project Ideas

Entry created on 2021-03-27 Authors: steeph (376) Categories: Frustration (2) Ideas (6) Thoughts (73) Languages used: en (257) Topics: Projects (59) edit

You know what my problem is? I get too many ideas of things that I could attempt to make. More ideas than I could ever try and realise. So instead of picking a project and investing time in it I keep getting stuck in a loop of thinking about how I would make all those things that I'll never make. Because that's easier and faster, I suppose. Also how can I choose which project to work on when many of my ideas feel like they could be good ideas. It's often impossibly to decide based on objective criteria what I should do.

I think I'll post some of my case modding and electronics ideas in a new category (Project Ideas) here in the future. They will lack the visual pictures that I have in my mind. But maybe when I tell somebody (anybody, even non-existing future blog readers) about some of them then I can allow myself to treat them as done and stop thinking about how I could and should start working on them some time. They may not be good ideas and I may not put too much (or any) effort into trying to convey why they are an important or good idea to me. But who knows, maybe there will even be some interesting stuff.

SBWG 0.8.6-wip

Entry created on 2021-03-22 Authors: steeph (376) Categories: Bash (31) Code (31) Computer (78) Linux (36) Projects (41) SBWG (18) Scripts (28) Software (53) Languages used: en (257) Topics: Projects → Code → Bash Scripts → SBWG (16) edit

By now the initial introduction of SBWG that I've written in the first entry in this category is not only incomplete but in its details largely obsolete. SBWG matured a great deal in the last months and I feel like publishing a new version. I have started documenting stuff properly in the README and other files included in the package since I have a set goal for version 1.0. I will likely add no new features until I have made something that I can satidfyingly call version 1.0. Right now I'm in between versions 0.8.6 and 0.8.7. I call in-between version wip (work in progress). I feel like publishing what I have so far right now. So here is a wip version: 0.8.6-wip.

Bash Dotfiles

Entry created on 2020-11-01 (edited 2021-03-22) Authors: steeph (376) Categories: Bash (31) Code (31) Computer (78) Dotfiles (2) Linux (36) Scripts (28) Software (53) Languages used: en (257) Topics: Projects (59) Projects → Code → Bash Scripts (23) edit

I've finally taken some time to overhaul my dotfiles. I took a lot from git repositories and reddit posts that I've found and added some functions and aliases myself. I'm using Bash 4 and haven't tested any of this with any other shell. I've removed and redacted personal lines.

There are a lot of dotfiles that other's have shared that would be worth sharing here. But it's easy to find those and I don't know what you'd like or not. So I'll point out just one simple project, "Sensible Bash by Mattia Tezzele, that attempts to set saner Bash defaults.

Beep Wars

This is one of these things that gets copied around without crediting the author or mentioning any source. Yea, I'm doing it too. I don't know where I got it from anymore.

If you still have a physical pcspeaker, execute this in your Linux shell for some beep music:

beep -l 350 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 311.1 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 466.2 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 311.1 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 466.2 -D 100 -n -l 700 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 587.32 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 587.32 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 587.32 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 622.26 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 466.2 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 369.99 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 311.1 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 466.2 -D 100 -n -l 700 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 784 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 784 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 739.98 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 698.46 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 659.26 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 622.26 -D 100 -n -l 50 -f 659.26 -D 400 -n -l 25 -f 415.3 -D 200 -n -l 350 -f 554.36 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 523.25 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 493.88 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 466.16 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 440 -D 100 -n -l 50 -f 466.16 -D 400 -n -l 25 -f 311.13 -D 200 -n -l 350 -f 369.99 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 311.13 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 466.16 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 466.16 -D 100 -n -l 700 -f 587.32 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 784 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 784 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 739.98 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 698.46 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 659.26 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 622.26 -D 100 -n -l 50 -f 659.26 -D 400 -n -l 25 -f 415.3 -D 200 -n -l 350 -f 554.36 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 523.25 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 493.88 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 466.16 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 440 -D 100 -n -l 50 -f 466.16 -D 400 -n -l 25 -f 311.13 -D 200 -n -l 350 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 311.13 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 466.16 -D 100 -n -l 300 -f 392.00 -D 150 -n -l 250 -f 311.13 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 466.16 -D 100 -n -l 700 -f 392

I've converted it for FreeBSD:

I'm no musician. I know it's not quite right. But if you ask me, for what it is it's ~~almost~~ good enough. (I think you can tell that I'm not a Star Wars fan.)

Just Try It! It Will Have Been Simple Afterwards.

Entry created on 2021-03-18 Authors: steeph (376) Categories: ADHD (3) DIY (17) Procrastination (1) Thoughts (73) Languages used: en (257) edit

Again and again I encounter technical problems (software bugs, hardware defects) that seem to be nearly impossible to fix without having had a proper education in the respective field. The simple, and correct, way to getting rid of these types of problems surely is to declare them not a problem. Buy a new device, convince yourself that you don't want the feature anyway, make somebody else solve your problem and blame them if it isn't perfect or breaks again.

But in those cases where I do find the motivation to try and repair something myself, it is often easier than expected and always so in hindsight. If you have repaired something yourself before that you initially considered to be a problem that is above your capabilities, I congratulate you on this eminently gratifying feeling that more often than not seems to come with this experience. If you haven't, this sentence doesn't address you.

Film: The Road

The boy's father in "The Road" is not a good father. Change my mind.

All things considered, I'm glad he died. It would have been even better had he died earlier.
