liner notes:

• Professional : Don't remember if I mentioned it previously, but I found out that the Executive Leadership Team (people like the CEO, CTO, etc) wanted to see demos of the winning projects from our hackathon. We'll, today was the day. I updated the slides since more has been done with the project and ran through it a couple of times to make sure things work and get a good flow. Did the presentation and demo, had some hiccups, but it wasn't my fault, I think the platform I was using was having some issues. For the most part, it worked and and everyone said it was a good presentation. A lot of people seem excited to see the project be released. That was the start of a bunch of meetings. After the last meeting, I had to take a nap. haha Got up and then worked on my next blog post for the rest of the day.

• Personal : Worked on my new side project. I got stuck with converting my private key to a form that could be used with the hosting platform. Previously on other projects, I would store the file in a hidden folder only accessible from the server. Since there really isn't a server and the hosting platform pulls and builds from my GitHub repo, I didn't want to push my private key file to my repo. So what I found from searching the net, was that I needed to convert the file to a long string of characters, put that in the hosting platform's dashboard and in my code, decode the file back so it could be used. Ran into an issue, that kind of had me stumped, until I console logged the decoded contents of the file and saw that not all of the converted string was in the dashboard. Reconverted it and saw what was missing, added it to the dashboard and everything worked! At least now I know of another way to pass my private key into my projects going into the future. Always growing, always learning. Code. haha. Ended the night researching drones. haha

Now that I got the back end stuff working and can call the info I need for my side project. I just need to convert the original demo that was built into vanilla JavaScript to Svelte which is what the framework I'm using supports. Should be an interesting exercise. It should require less code. We'll see. After that, I'm basically done. Thinking I may finish it tonight/tomorrow and test it out over the weekend and launch on Monday. Maybe look into more drones.

Have a great night!
