Peregrinatio

Mantilogs UI and API work continues.

I'm still not in the office but I got some work done on the project today, adding the Cleaning Logs form to the UI and some supporting API endpoints as well. I didn't document it unfortunately, only one monitor here and it's kind of

Out of Office once again

I'm still going to be working on projects, just can't go into my office for a bit. I've been spending the last 4 days working on my servers, getting stuff running and updating other things. I even get a few of my old game

Surprise! Server Maintenance

Well, I was just doing my regular updates and a broken ssh pipe bungled Docker's update. I had to assign an extra IP I had laying around to the server and create some tools through it, then had to go in and assign some IP addresses to certain

Mantilogs - The Micrologs and pagination.

Today I will work on microlog serialization and the interface to add them. I expect this to go smoothly and allow me to work on starting the cleaning log refactor and possibly finishing it and adding an interface for it as well before I clock out. It's going

Mantilogs, More Log Interfaces.

Yesterday I just ended up crashing out after noon. I was for some reason cold and tired and kept nearly passing out. I am glad I left the office early yesterday. May do so again today. May do that a lot in the coming days, really. Until I find somewhere

Mantilogs...uh, log interfaces.

Continuing where I left off Friday, I am adding the rest of the log forms today. Wont be writing much I don't think. Just trying to get this done for now, it is basically just an iteration on what I did Friday anyway. I'm having a

Mantilogs on Android Part 1.5: Scaling, Navigation, Posting Feed Logs

So I got it connected to the API and wrote a little bash script to sign the APKs with debug keys. Next I need to work out scaling the UI properly. I have done some things to the settings that should work and I have to test it but I

Mantilogs Client Part 1.5 and 2: Displaying API data

To start out I have figured out the overlap issue with the gecko index by specifying a minimum size of the control. I will have to do this responsively based on viewport size so I should do it in the code for the Gecko Tile. Added some code to the

Mantilogs Mk II - Part 5: More tests (Whoopee :|) and on to the UI

So, now that I have figure out how the token auth works in Django Rest Framework (though it's implementation isn't great, I will probably change it at some point but it suits my purposes for development anyway...) I can get to finishing writing the endpoint tests.

The Mantilogs API: Part 4 Serializing and Unit Tests

Welp, it's nearly 8am now, figured I would get started planning before I do anything. Gotta boil some water for a shower this afternoon as well as make more calls so I don't expect to get much done. To start out I need a way to

Mantilogs API-ification: Part 3 - The Model Redesign

Aside from having to make some calls later on today I will be spending full days in the office for the most part now, possibly even weekends. Aside from days when I will be doing more cleaning and packing up the stuff I don't currently need. First thing

Mantilogs API-ification: Part Two?

So I've been messing around writing my custom serializers and whatnot, not much time left in this morning since I had to spend a bit of time setting up the basis of a proper CI system. Anyway; I've realized that the way some of my models

The Mantilogs API

I've already installed and configured Django Rest Framework, now I am on to serializing and adding endpoints. Starting out with a test, using the quick start example I have a user API set up and working fine. Now to actually USE the dang thing. Let's see

Mantilogs MK II: Work begins in earnest

I've got my DB up and project configured, I can now start the integration of DRF and serialize the Feed logs model to create an endpoint for it. I'll have to work out how DRF will handle the authentication when I start building the form but

Mantilogs Mk II: Part One -- Authenticated API

So, in order to make my forms more user friendly I figure I should add some API endpoints and use JWT to confirm the user is authenticated to submit form data. I could use Django Rest Framework or I could roll my own solution. Both are appealing... I have minimal

Project One: Mantilogs Interface Design and Documentation

I've not much time today, things to do. I've wire-framed a design for the first part of the interface overhaul and will be working on it this week. Game dev will continue shortly, but this week is going to be a bit rough. I am hunting

Returning to the office

Well, I am back in the office again. Probably going to be disappearing again at some point in the near future either if things go well or horribly wrong. I need to move, I have been saving for months and am nearly there now. It may be a couple more

Silence.

I'm still alive, still trying to figure out what I am going to be doing... I think I am close to actually having it now. It's been a hell of a year so far, hopefully things will start to smooth out now. I've not

But why, though?

I can't seem to focus on any projects at all. Once I set about working on one another one clouds my mind. My focus is horribly mangled the last few months. I need to fix it. I wish I could have just continued working on Gerucrash. There'

On the ground or in space?

TL,DR; Ground, more work but rather do space in 3D. So I guess I will try building this system with ground-based characters for now. Most of the bits and pieces will (hypothetically) be easy enough to adapt to flying ships or sailing ships or driving vehicles or whatever, I

Persistent, isn't it?

Even blasting myself with light all morning I feel just as exhausted this afternoon as I did the past... few months now. I have ruled out protein deficiency and vitamin D deficiency. I don't eat much fat at all, only about a tbsp of olive oil or so

Seasonal Affective Disorder?

It would appear at least on the surface that my issue with game development or really working on projects in general are related to the seasons. Looking back through logs I see that I just crash around November and remain so, struggling as hard as I can against it until

The Great Migration: Day 2

So far I have managed to get the blog's images uploaded, offloaded my main DBs and got my project management stuff deployed offsite. I still have to do a few things here and there but I think tomorrow I should FINALLY be back to game development. Alright, she&

Server offloading or; The Great Migration

Before I get started on this game prototype I need to do some stuff to offload the server I am running here in the office to save money. See, the electric bill is $120 a month where it was $40 before I started running it again so... I can just

Month One Prototype

I'll give the list one more look and then load the RNGinator with it if I have nothing by the end of it. I did a test run last night, I might just use the result from that, even. I even worked out the outline of the systems,
