I was trying to setup this blog but I kept being sent to the login on another website that I setup. The link was hard-coded into my WordPress setup, I didn’t know what to do with that. If you are having the same problem and are running a Linux server, run: # Install WordPress CLI…

A Sweeter Song
We are easily lulled into sin by our flesh and the world. They sing a sweet song that brings us to the rocks to die. They sell slavery under the guise of “Independence”. But, there is a sweeter song. A greater Savior, a greater Purpose, a greater Meaning, a greater joy beyond measure. A beauty…
Where Else Could We Go?
It is so easy to set our expectations, and in a sense, our lives into a person, activity or possession. But, it never satisfies us. Even when we stand on the height of achievement, when we get all we want – we feel so empty. The Bible shows us that there is a single Purpose,…
What I Learned In NCFCA
I have competed as a speaker in NCFCA for the last four years. I took the first year seriously, coasted through the next two and ended the last year well due to God’s grace, prayer and practice. I did not place at the Regional Championship and am by no means the best speaker. But, I…
When You Don’t Feel God
Most of the time I didn’t feel God was when I was struggling with habitual sin. It was heart-wrenchingly painful and I felt so far from God. I would do the same things, over and over and over again no matter how much it hurt. But, sometimes, we feel far from God even when we…

Linear Regression
One of the projects in my Python 3 course on Codecademy was to calculate the linear regression of any given line in a set. This is my journey of doing just that, following their instructions. The goal, is to calculate the bounciness of different balls with the least error possible. Starting with y = m*x…
Nested Loops
In an exercise I was working on, I wanted to raise a list of bases to a list of powers and return the result. I tried a complicated method with list comprehensions and regular for loops, but nested loops make this so much easier: exponents([2, 3, 4], [1, 2, 3]) returns:
Automatically Snooze Incoming Mail in Gmail
I get emails every day for a friend’s project that I want to respond to at least 12 hours after I get them, to see if the user has any questions. I was thinking it would be nice if there was a feature for this in Gmail. There isn’t in Gmail itself, but I figured…
