Visual Studio Code Live Share - Safe and Reproducible!
Hi everyone, time for another blog post.
This one’s about an idea I had while taking part in “mob-programming” with a friend. I did not know what mob-programming was, but it was the first time I got to use the Live Share feature in Visual Studio Code. It was a pretty smooth experience! It was very interesting being able to share a code editor with no work on my part. I was able to see the host’s project directory structure, terminal (read-only access), and the code as it was being edited, kind of like a Google Doc.
GUI programming and my recent freelancing experience.
Hi everyone, today I come to you with the story of a freelancing experience I had, and what I got out of it.
The job The job is that a business makes appointments through an online service called TimeTap and needs to take client information from this service and print it out onto labels that have a QR code that can be scanned.

My new library, ninjarmmpy!
Hi everyone, it’s been a very long time since my last post. I’ve been trying to write more but the pandemic makes it so easy to be lazy. HOWEVER, I have not been inactive this whole time.
Let me show you what I’ve been up to.
ninjarmmpy I wrote and published my first library, ninjarmmpy, to PyPI!
ninjarmmpy was born out of a curiousity I had at work. I work as a Centralized Services Engineer for an MSP.
WSL 2 is here, let’s set it up!
I’ve been looking forward to WSL 2 for a while now. If you don’t know what WSL is, it stands for Windows Subsystem for Linux. It allows you to run a Linux environment on Windows, and you can read more here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about
I remember trying to setup my own development environment back in college. I needed gcc and make, but those weren’t easy to come by on Windows if you were just starting out and nobody taught you about the toolchain.
Fedora 32 released this week! How do I get Docker working again?
Hey everyone, Fedora 32 was released earlier this week on the 28th. I like to have the latest software running on my computer so I upgraded as soon as I could, but I noticed something when I ran my next dnf check-update. The Docker repositories were disabled, so I wouldn’t get any updates! The Docker devs didn’t have a repo ready for Fedora 32. Normally waiting for an update isn’t a big deal but Fedora made a few changes recently and I wanted to write down how I came over them.
