liner notes:

• Saturday : So, I get to the room where I broadcast the radio show and notice there a people in there. Weird. It was another show and they were recording an interview with an artist to play on their show at a later date. Luckily, there was another empty room and I just set up in there. Unfortunately, that wasn't the only hiccup I had during the show. For some reason, the station's automatic player kicked in while I was playing music, but the weird part was that the tracks didn't show up in the playlist like it normally would or was audible. I was listening to the station's online stream and it was only my music playing. That threw things off because it played some top of the hour ads so that when I went in to play them, they were already played and I could replay them. I had to basically do them manually which took some time. That kind of threw me off for the rest of the show. I think it still went well. Had a good time, stressful, but a good time. The recording of this week's show is at https://kNOwBETTERHIPHOP.com

• Sunday : Did my study sessions as usual. Started working on a new side project. I'm building up from a previous starter that I made. Everything worked locally while I was developing, but as soon as I deployed it to the hosting service... errors when I try to log in. Normally, I would be able to see the errors in the logs coming from the server, but for some reason, they weren't showing up. So basically my day was looking up a bunch of errors, reading documentation, similar issues others were running into, commenting out code until it worked and worked backwards. After fixing some things, it all came down to a value that needs to pass when making a call to an API. So yeah, my whole day came down to not passing in a value and some other minor issues. haha Got to love coding. Good thing is that now I have a deep understanding of my code, the library, product and service I'm using.

• Professional : I had a pretty large scare this morning. I loaded up the project I've been working on and made some much progress last week and a lot of code was missing. After freaking out for a little bit, I looked at another section of the site and saw that I had pushed my changes to GitHub and that created another project where my updates were. Whew. For the rest of the day, I worked on my project, ran into a weird issue, had a meeting and helped out with a community question. Still couldn't figure out the issue I was running into though.

• Personal : With that side project hurdle that I passed yesterday, I can actually get to the core of my project. Right now, I've got authentication, hosting, database, deploying worked out. Now I want to set up some authorization and a way to do some real time communication.

Going to continue looking into some things to do on my vacation while in Japan. I want to get a rough outline of an itinerary so I can get hotels booked done by the end of the week. Got a couple of things I'm going to add to my side project. I want to add authorization so that I can then get some credentials generated that can be used to add real time communications. There's also an aspect of real time translations that I want to implement. Going to start with authorization and generating credentials.

Have a great night!
