Check out my new TESTING page where I hope to continue testing new features. Also, be sure to have a look at my new HIKES site and especially some of the “highlighted” hikes that are listed in bold there.
Note that HIKES used to be a “section” here, but there are a lot of them so I made a site just for them.
Just thought I would post a couple more photos, with a probable update later today. Took these photos yesterday (Friday, January 12) at about noon when I ventured outside to clear the driveway. Didn’t quite get it all done because it was just too cold and windy, and the snow was still falling. I didn’t even attempt to clear the front porch… ain’t nobody coming to visit today anyway. 8^)

Maybe not as bad as predicted (at least per some predictions) but it was enough wet snow for me. Took almost an hour to clear using my EGO cordless snow-thrower (love it) and there’s more to be done before Mackenzie and I can leave for work in the morning.
Fortunately both Grinnell College and South Tama County schools were closed today. GC re-opens at noon tomorrow and STC just announced that they will be closed on Wednesday too.

It’s no secret that I love building ridiculously inexpensive but secure and reliable static web sites. Unfortunately, adding and maintaining content can be a pain. I’d rather write code than content! So, I also want to pawn that content responsibility off on others, but that means teaching them to use VSCode – my means of editing static content – or providing a CMS (content management system) they can work with. There’s no such thing as a static CMS so now I need some “dynamic” components. Unfortunately my “dynamic” CMS requires user authentication because *we want SOMEONE editing our content, not EVERYONE! *That always seems to be pricey, at least by comparison to our $5/month static website.

Wow, it’s been way too long since I posted here. So much has happened, and been missed along the way. Time to fix that and I’m going to start with a re-write of the Wieting Theatre website using staticcms/core. Watch for a full blog post coming soon!
I use Azure Blob Storage quite a bit these days, at work and here at home. Recently a student I’ve been working with turned my attention to this post from Microsoft and this week I’m going to take a crack at putting it to use, perhaps in association with this blog.
Finally got to see the doctor today after starting to feel ill on September 3, and to my surprise I tested positive for COVID. Symptoms were mild so I didn’t need or receive any treatment.
I’ve been wanting to give Streamlit a try for some time now. Recently, I found Streamlit DataScience Apps, a GitHub repo full of Streamlit apps, written by Jcharis. In particular, I thought I would take the Job_Search_App_with_Streamlit_Forms_n_GithubAPI code for a spin.
First step, I created a new ~/GitHub/ code directory on my Mac; I named my directory ~/GitHub/job-search-app-with-streamlit-forms. The plan was to work in that directory inside VSCode with all the project requirements housed in a Python virtual environment (.venv) there.
Need to try something new here… I have a 3d print .stl model file that I want to share with others. I wonder if I can do that here as an attachment? Let’s try…
Today’s burning question… Can I easily “redefine” an Azure Static Web App?
So, the source code for my password-protected Wieting-Guild-Pages is broken and I can’t update the stale old content that’s currently there. It’s a long story. Fortunately, I’ve rebuilt that code in a new GitHub repo and have it working again. Yay!
Now, can I take the deployment parts of the old/broken repo and apply them to the new repo and make it all work again?
