Blog / Guestbook

I've never written so much stuff in such a short period of time.

Ofc algorithms are not very hard, but it is just so satisfying to see your own stuff in action. I'm glad I did not use pre-made libraries

Using a library comes with things like automatic arrangement, faster previews, ready to use UI features, etc. Making one on my own would result in a gallery that is simple, without all bells and whistles, however It would allow full creative freedom (i.e. design/functionality wise).

I also want each picture to be able to have its own page, but.. not sure how great that would be. I definitely want to share process for some oil paintings, but it would be redundant for EVERY painting/drawing I make. Also how would I manage that properly? Not sure. Using a lib is definitely simpler.

Every time I sit down to program I think, 'hopefully soon I can resume working on fracterm'. But the website is more important right now. I need to finish it before going back to university in Fall, because I would not be able to otherwise.

The website will be my virtual face for a lot of things.. even job search. Though it is just repeating same code, templates, solutions over and over again, in the end, it will be more valuable than some extremely niche graphics program. Even if this graphics program is the pinnacle of my problem solving and actual calculus application.

So, I have to write PHP

kayawva is awesome

how do i use this

Comments are almost functional now. I still need to polish some things, then I will publish it right away. This will probably be the last thing I add to this version of blog page.

In the future I want to add the ability for the user to submit their own images, that would be very nice.. but it is hard. Especially in a way I want to do it, at least. I want the user to be able to load an image right in the blog creation text field.

Anyway, after I am done with this in a few days, I will move onto the actual archive part of the website -- that is where fun part begins. This specific page taught me a lot of web development, and I can now actually apply it in a clean way to other more important pages.

Not that this page is slow or not beautiful [I like how it looks], but the code is UNREADABLE. I will not do that mistake again, even though I was just figuring stuff out. Only quality linux-kernel grade coding practices & reusable universal design templates from this point on.

Experiments with currants are nice, but the base is the most important thing. This black tea is my to-go choice for almost any occasion, it is extremely general and clean [in a good sense].

Flavor is autumnal and hay like, as if you are drinking forest floor. Even if a brew is strong, it never gives that saturated bitter taste puerh usually has. It smells of hay too; I like it a lot.

Actually, it was the first chineese tea I have ever tried! It was recommended to me, and it remains my №1 choice

This was HORRIBLE. With how good the black currant was, I expected red currant to at least smell nice. To my disappointment, the tea smells like grass. The stench mixes with the smell of the actual black tea, which produces a cacophony, as if I am smelling wet soil.

At least the batch was not fully spoiled--the leaf did not add any taste at all, so it was fine in that regard.

later i read that redcurrant is rarely used for tea. I see why. I do not recomment; black currant all the way

I mainly added it for the smell, I love the fragrance of black currant. And it was absolutely amazing! It also had a taste. This specific black tea has a hay-like autumnal flavor, and the currant leaf added some minor bitterness and sourness to the aftertaste. Overall a great experiment, I will try out red currant leaf next.

If you were to make a lot of tea you will definitely need 2-3 leafs. They lose the fragrance after about 5 steeps so you would have to replace them.

it will happen again
