notepad plus plus for Linux I use notepad++ at work on a windows machine, I find it great for taking notes, and editing SQL scripts on the go. For a long time Geany has been my goto Linux file editor, but it might now get more limited use in the future now that notepad++ is available in Linux, via snap 🙂 Crazy too, that I think this is my first…

Yesterday I fucked up… a little I’ve been playing with a Python script to re-arrange the films in my movie directory; it moves everything of a selected file type from directory and sub-directory to a selected directory. Useful eh? Thought I might use it to group all of my photos too. Last night I ran it on a drives root directory for all *.txt files. Let me rephrase that, I…

I’ve been working through GitHub for useful code, found some interesting material, but it’s time to step up my learning. After reading through this Reddit/Python thread: How did you learn Python I’ve chosen Codecademy. I’ve only recently begun, but I like the uncluttered text and being able to enter script on the site. Let’s see how long I can commit to before I become distracted with something else 😉

I’m investigating the uses for MEGA, as an Android app became recently available. Considering using it for secure communication; as all data is encrypted, therefore if multiple people had a log in to the same account they could share files that could be messages. Another option is to upload the message as a file, and share a link to the file in an encrypted format, then delete the file after…
