MTEXTCOLUMN = 0 sets mtext to no columns by default

MAPCLEAN a nifty little window pops up to help with things like cleaning up zero geometry and converting geometry types for you

RTEXT remote text from a text file, cannot edit in program. will try this out

EXOFFSET offset with extra options - offset to new layer - round corners

VPSYNC make multiple viewports align with each other

MAPIOPTIONS go to general tab, uncheck Shift+left click for image select

i don't know how to succesfully corrupt a hard drive such that the songs all get mixed together but are still playable. but i did

crap it's too corrupt for html audio player, here's the mp3 if you can trust a random internet person. right click/saveas

now geocad will have 3d functions

how does bit torrent work? can we share web pages that way? would it have to be static content only? how would updating work?

i've finished the xfiles so i can return to fixing my laptop

found out i can get most of the apps i am reloading into my laptop from the same place - portableapps.com

i've always preferred downloading programs that don't need to "be installed". to be able to have a hard drive full of programs ready to go on any windows machine is pretty nice. there are dozens of programs that i've used over the years and dozens more to look into.

i've looked into the forums trying to figure out a portable winamp

actually the newest app they have today is Zettlr, a markdown application that is exactly what I have been looking for and what I am writing this post in now.

make a form for date, subject, and body. saves to .txt? save in json format?

making some good progress on this webmaker

to do before uploading: - reformat most pages to markdown - reset links/imgs all pages (still need to fix space.html imgs and links) - add in classes for elements - github - still static html - index - sitemap - links - taichi - noaa - not found - apps and photos

still to do: - insert titles from txt file name or meta:desc - sitemap maker - fix link page maker - table of contents maker - better notes and blog system - tags from meta not just thrown in - photo album maker - clean up all apps - media page

web, api

getting news from wikipedia via api?

how to use this api thing to get articles from wikipedia to show up on a page?, will get back to this

web, markdown

running some tests using node to convert markdown. js is always less intimidating when it's over

webmaster.html just tests so far, will add more

getting the hang of this, just gotta rewrite everything into markdown, maybe not everything but most things

this might be my last manual blog post, hopefully have this a little more automated next month.

site

still tweaking the page styles for this site before i overhaul all the html and make a consistant web layout. i've also been looking into markdown and really enjoy writing with it. this lead down a rabbit hole of static site generators and different approaches to go from markdown (plaintext) to markup (html).

i think the route i like is using node to take a folder full of markdown files and convert them into html.

store markdown articles in a database/folder
store html, css, and js templates in database/folder
parse/convert markdown to html
store html file in database/folder

ideally i would like to have a database/folder tree of txt files, media and templates that i manage instead of all these html files. focus on content instead of tedious bits.

tag idea list: - geo, cad, gis - project, idea, log - materials, technology - circuits, power - radio, ham, signals - cpu, hardware, software - web, server, - art, webvr, photos, words

vr

played with a-frame for the first time in a while. i found i can model in autocad and export to a STL file, open this in blender, save as gtlf file and embed this in an a-frame scene.

got a general idea for a link world, every door takes you to a different webvr world. still have to do a lot to make thing more stable and easy to manage

• how to have each part of the gtlf model act as a separte entity, ie model of building, be able to stand on each floor
• not fall thru the floors when falling from large height, maybe make a sub floor that transports you back on top of the floor?
• i'm gonna have a lot of links, don't want to manage each door manually. how to make/manage a json database of links? map link list to door list? CSV TABLE?

ideapool

• how to interact with json databases? build a demo blog? maybe demo wiki?
• dynamic sites? parse markdown, render/send html without saving on serverside?
• post tags, generate page with all posts of similar tags
• external webhosting? portforward? beyond localhost?
• ftp? network drives?
• streaming? audio, video, livewebcam, data
• css for nested elements - should come in handy
• markdown viewer plugin for notepad++ (this didn't work very well?)

i am the static

tech

backed up R52 thinkpad windows XP to an IMG file, installed raspberry pi OS to learn more about using linux and have a dedicated machine for talking to my raspberries.

the first thing i tried to set up was an SDR program to use my RTLSDR. i actually forget the results and resources used here, will come back and add more about this

i lost a lot of the links that helped me along the way but will try to build this into something i can follow when i inevitably break it and have to start over

crap doing a dated notebook makes me
strangely aware of time all of a sudden

to-do: start a raspberry pi/micro controller page - move all notes from radio/cpu pages to there - find inspiration and time to start aduino - control motors and gears with a computer already

(will always be rearranging this order) geouniversal materia materials and chemistry artifacts tech and components circuits electro signals sensors and data cpu processing and memory trajectory rockets and orbits space navigation star maps and solar system models

made a little time to work on schematics
would like to have a lot more on here
plus pictures of them (not?) working

trying to start a web log again, see how long this lasts

current site map and hot ideas:
- home page - links - geouniversal - materia - machines - circuits - add in schematics - signals - cpu - space - radio - maybe make a satellites page? - noaa-log - add newest day? - web - cmd v3 - i forgot about this, hmm - iching - fix it, check on all platforms - js archive - midnite - add more photo pages - about

to-do:
- figure out mobile vs desktop text size and pre text size - upload more photos - fix a bunch of text - go to bed right now

and image inverter / archive found negatives:

function updateImage(amount) {
  var inverttest = document.getElementById("inverttest");
  inverttest.style.filter = "invert(" + amount/100 + ")";

  debug.innerHTML = amount;
}
