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.
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?

Driving home from a few days at Univ. of South Dakota in Vermillion last evening and stopped at Justin’s house in M-town to meet his parents and grandmother, plus Deb & Doug. We left there about 8:30 or so and I took the old Lincoln Highway into town to avoid deer along the road on the shorter rural route.
We nearly got hit by an impaired driver (?) when turning on to Center Street just south of the Hy-Vee / Taco John’s intersection. Fortunately for us, a large SUV (Suburban?) took the force of the impact while vehicles and debris flew all around us. Nobody was injured and there’s not a scratch (that we can see) on the new Kia, but we didn’t get home until a little after 10 PM.
Do we get extra IHG (Holiday Inn) bonus points for living through the 2 AM false fire alarm last night? NOT FUN. Hope I can drive home this afternoon without falling asleep.
Arrived in Vermillion, South Dakota, last evening about 6:30 PM and went straight to dinner at the “Old Lumber Company” downtown. Checked in to our hotel adjacent to the Univ. of South Dakota campus at about 7:15 PM and went to find the music department building (the fine arts center) where Christine will be taking classes for the rest of the week.
While she’s in class I’ll be working from my hotel room here, or maybe from the USD library.
This afternoon I’m adding https://digital.grinnell.edu (site ID is 17) to my own Matomo instance and I’m prompted to upgrade PHP on that Matomo droplet (DigitalOcean). I did so quite easily following Upgrade PHP from 7.2 to 7.4 on CentOS 8 and Apache. I’ve also updated my Drupal version, and some modules, in https://digital.grinnell.edu along with adding the matomo module, but that module is now reporting:
The validation of "http://analytics.summittservices.com/matomo.php" failed with error "Error opening socket ssl://analytics.summittservices.com:443" (HTTP code 0).
The validation of "https://analytics.summittservices.com/matomo.php" failed with error "Error opening socket ssl://analytics.summittservices.com:443" (HTTP code 0).
Hmmm…wonder what’s up with that?
