Something is funky with the schema. when I reload the page I see the name column disappear from the table. Had to reload page in a new browser to continue. Video for reference.

on the 3rd challenge I'm seeing some issues. I even checked the answer and the answer given is throwing errors and saying not correct, so I can't progress the challenges. hmmm....

Rename the columns in your output: return `name` as `pokemon`, `primary_type` as `type` and `total_stats` as `power`.
Hints show how to do this. Answer given is SELECT name AS pokemon, primary_type AS type, total_stats AS power FROM pokemon;
When running that answer an error shows that name is not a column that exists.

Coffee, cats, and coding beats.

Well, I guess I’ll just stay inside.

261 - Very Unhealthy
Air quality index is 261, which is worse than yesterday at about this time.

Making an effort to work on my overgrown garden areas between work and coding studies. Today wasn’t crazy hot so I got almost 2 hours to mow lawn and clear out area a bit by bird feeders and bird bath.

Same area after pic. Large bushes trimmed down. Bird feeders filled and bird bath visible. Some of the tall weeds have been pulled

Lady Yuna is more curious than scared of the fireworks, although the big boomy ones aren’t her favorite.

Brushing the dust off of some older coding projects. Decided to take some time to update and refactor the code. Working on my word guessing game. Removed redundant code, and fixed an issue where it returned a wrong guess when it was correct. Also, found comments I left for future me.

A comment section in a JS file. "End of test section. Don't mess with other code."
Then the code below:
if (word === guess) {
score++
document.querySelector("#update").innerText = score
if (score > highScore) {
highScore = score
updateHighScore.innerText = highScore
localStorage.setItem("highScore", highScore)
}

Well Brazil beat Japan. Still a very good game. Glad I got out to watch most of it and got to eat some delicious tacos.

A picture of me wearing a Japan jersey. Happy that Japan was in the lead at the time.

Two steak tacos with some red and green sauces on the side.

Made time in my work day so I can watch the Brazil vs Japan World Cup match. Was going to go to my local bar and grill to watch it but found a Vtuber doing a live watch along. So I might do that and maybe go to the bar for last half so I can get yummy lunch.

Watch along Japan vs Brazil (I love both) Takanashi Kiara Vtuber from hololive

Trying to get used to Vue and all it's quirks. The conditional rendering is very useful. v-if, v-else, ect. I've been trying out all their uses and taking so many notes. Was refactoring parts of my recipe web app, which initially broke the app till I replaced the now unused code with handleSearch

<div class="search-container">
<input
v-model="searchTerm"
@keyup.enter="searchRecipes"
placeholder="Enter ingredient (chicken, salmon, beef...)"
/>

<button @click="searchRecipes">
Search
</button>
</div>

const handleSearch = async () => {
searched.value = true;
await searchRecipes(searchTerm.value);
};

Slowly getting my recipe finder site going. Built using Vue and using TheMealDB's free API. Works well so far. Need to clean up the logic and UI. Ingredients and the recipe instructions look jumbled at the moment and need better spacing and layout. But fetching recipes and displaying images works!

recipe finder: search recipe by ingredient. A search bar with chicken written in it and display cards showing different chicken dishes

I love rainy days. I can just relax with a nice cup of tea and listen to the sounds of the rain.

Finished the site. Mom texted me today saying she likes checking the site daily to get a few quotes. Fun react project.

Had a great night taking my friend out for her birthday. Drinks and a nice dinner.

Spent longer than I'd like to admit to get my likes icon to turn red when a user likes a post. Since the "liked" state lives on the database and not the browser, it wasn't as straightforward as I had hoped. After much googling and breaking my site over and over I got it. EJS syntax is wild.

Yuna is flabbergasted!

Got myself something I’ve wanted for awhile. A nice display case for my anime figures. I measured wrong so a bit of it goes over the basement door. But that’s not a big deal. Loving the motion sensor lights and different light shades.

A 3 tier shelf filled with various anime figures. Each shelf is lit up with a calm blue light. A cat is sitting next to it looking shocked.

First day of spring and the snows melted and the sun is shining. Please enjoy these pictures of my cat enjoying the sunshine. #Caturday

Been rebuilding a collection of Pokemon cards as I haven’t really been since I was little. Buying packs whenever I can. This is by far my favorite called I’ve pulled. #PokemonDay

Came across a not so fun issue when testing my site across browsers. It's only on Brave browser so far, but the vfx-js for the image makes the whole screen shake, which is not ideal. Tried some fixes but have yet to find a solution.

Playing around with the VFX-JS library to add some fun animations to my "Sounds Spooky" site. Updated the flickering effect for title using CSS and added a glitch animation to the ghost microphone image.

Taking breaks from learning Vue to make some fun beats in Strudel.

-10 degrees Fahrenheit, over a foot of snow. Walking to the corner store. Do you need anything?

Refreshing my Python skills by doing some leetcode challenges. Realizing I need to really up my Anki decks with Python material, as I feel I've forgotten so much of the syntax and quirks of Python.

python code for moving zeroes to back of an array while keeping order of other numbers intact. code is as follows:
def moveZeroes(nums):
index = 0
for num in nums:
if num != 0:
nums[index] = num
index += 1
for i in range(index, len(nums)):
nums[i] = 0

print(nums)

moveZeroes([0,1,0,5,13]) #Output: [1,5,13,0,0]

All these companies saying they have the best office “culture” and that you need to be in office are crazy. My home office “culture” is my cat telling me it’s time for a play break. And nothing can beat that.

Still snowed in today. Luckily I have no on site calls today. Making a simple e-commerce site for my portfolio. While cleaning out a closet I found my old Nintendo 3ds. Even after probably more than 10 years, it turned on right away. Time to bundle up with some hot cocoa and play all day.

My little snow plow can’t handle the almost 3 feet off dense wet snow. Was looking for a snow plow truck and this company’s website could use some work. It’s just the template with placeholder text in each section. I’m going to see if I can get some freelance work out of it.

Almost the holidays, and the snow is coming down. Spent the morning doing some anki review and codewars. Now updating my Sounds Spooky login page to have a flickering animation that only plays on landing page and login page.

Heard of this interesting Math fact called Kaprekar's Constant. The explanation is too long for here but it's in the code snippet. Basically in certain conditions the result will always be 6174 within 7 steps. So of course I had to code it. Could of used recursion but went with a while loop.
