@dhein I must admit I haven't checked the IPS page since around May. Kinda lost interest in the site. I'll still check up on some of the cool people there tho... like you! :) yea, I wish I could take my time but I wanna hurry up and get a decent job. Dropping outta uni kinda makes the whole life experience a bit scary hehe xD

It scrapes various sites and such and refines the results into a more pretty and organized format for the user to see
Aug 27, 2019 02:57
@dhein Sorry for the late reply! I'm trying to come up with a little application that is using micro-services. It seems like monolithic schemas are becoming a thing of the past so I thought I'd learn how they work first hand :) The idea is to create the project and push it to github as well as publishing it somewhere as my first portfolio entry.
Aug 21, 2019 23:47
@dhein That makes sense :) Social interactions can be stressful and sometimes what we need is time to ourselves.
Aug 21, 2019 23:47
@dhein I haven't contributed to any projects just yet. I am however, working on my own. Sigh, I hope that pulls through some how.
Aug 19, 2019 17:51
But it's the only thing I got right now to pay some of the bills.
Aug 19, 2019 17:51
I have actually not stepped into the software industry yet. It's still the personal project I've been working on. It's just a big step and I need to learn a lot of new things I haven't covered yet. Like modularization is the biggest thing so I can write more efficient unit tests and prepare for future changes. The actual job I have now isn't related to SW at all. And I actually hate it, and don't wanna spend anymore time doing it.
Aug 19, 2019 17:49
@dhein No worries, how was the vacay? :D
Aug 7, 2019 20:39
If I don't have a clear, concise, and well-defined goal set out then it's very difficult for me to actually accomplish anything useful.
Aug 7, 2019 20:38
@dhein Maybe I'm coming back from the dead... who knows? ;) Haha but in all seriousness I'm happy to see you're saving your money and your career is progressing well. Super great you've found a place you're happy at! :D I'm trying that still. Sigh, It hasn't been going the best lately. I hope I make progress soon, 'cause I'm not particularly fond of the job I have currently. Biggest thing holding me back right now is not being able to properly plan out different SW projects I have.
Jul 30, 2019 01:07
@dhein Haha, no not yet. I'm saving my money still. Saving can be quite addicting sometimes. A good habit! :D I'm still alive, I haven't been in a good place emotionally lately so I've been on here less frequently. I hope you're doing well and enjoying life :) toss me an update and I'll read it haha
 
Aug 29, 2019 23:13
Hopefully today was a bit better for ya ;)
Aug 29, 2019 23:12
@TheTinyMan noooo I'm sorry. Sometimes days are like that. I keep coming home exhausted from work and it's so difficult to spend another 5-6 hours researching. Self study is nooooo joke
Aug 28, 2019 00:17
@TheTinyMan Ahh no worries :P I'll figure it out :) make sure you tag me so I see your message too haha. I hope work and everything has been going well for you!
Aug 27, 2019 02:59
@TheTinyMan Hey big guy! :P You should check out my question then haha. I have an architectural conundrum! ;-; xD
Aug 20, 2019 23:53
Wow so this is actually really really cool XD The motivation for docker and kubernetes is for a growing architecture known as "Microservices". It helps you split different logistical bits of your application into sub-applications. Modularizing everything further and making it way more dynamic. I guess Kubernetes is sort of a manager for docker containers. It helps instruct and configure multiple containers I think
Aug 20, 2019 23:49
yeah, it's fancy stuff! really cool (I don't even know it well enough to explain, so I'll get back to you on that xD). I'm trying to piece together various technologies I wanna learn so I can land a decent job in software.
Aug 20, 2019 23:43
I barely know anything about Kubernentes though. I wish thenewboston still made tutorials ;-; that guy was literally my hero
Aug 20, 2019 23:42
so I kinda got a grasp on docker now. I'm looking at Kubernetes to see how I can deploy my containers on a more broad scale (hopefully so I can prepare for load balancing)
Aug 20, 2019 22:41
no it isn't fun lol xD that's neat tho. looks like a fun little activity
Aug 20, 2019 22:18
And yeaah. The thing is I didn't know it was going to be a LDR until now... after about a month >_< oof. Idk what I'm gonna decide.
Aug 20, 2019 22:17
@TheTinyMan howdy :D those things look neat! you made them yaself with that creator tool thingy that I don't understand? xD
Aug 19, 2019 18:52
You should show me what your hero forge minis look like too! :D
Aug 19, 2019 18:51
ahhh oof. scheduling becomes rather difficult sometimes. That reminded me of my new love interest. They're joining the military soon and Idk if I'll be able to stay committed to the idea of rarely seeing them and them possibly getting hurt.
Aug 19, 2019 18:17
@TheTinyMan Not too much :p just figuring things out. Hbu? :o
Aug 19, 2019 17:52
@TheTinyMan I've been doing slightly better hehe. Not completely, but I sense a little progress :D
Aug 19, 2019 00:36
@TheTinyMan :o sleeping on the job?? xD
Aug 7, 2019 20:53
yea. i gotta go now. gl with work and have a nice day. watch out for creepers :)
Aug 7, 2019 20:44
ive been saving up a lot of money, it's not that im in like a monetarily bad place right now. the struggle is the future and how I want to do something a bit more involved and specialized. something that requires education (not necessarily through uni)
Aug 7, 2019 20:41
yeah, but I feel i've given myself too much time to "unwind" :(
Aug 7, 2019 20:40
SW (software) an abbreviation dein uses lol
Aug 7, 2019 20:40
And yeah, I've been playing a lot of Destiny 2 lately. Probably not the best since I have much more productive things to accomplish
Aug 7, 2019 20:39
I can't plan out these SW projects if my life depended on it. There's just so many considerations and options it's hard to lay out everything so I can follow it easily.
Aug 7, 2019 20:35
Stardew Valley is fun :) and haha, yeah. It is pretty american
Aug 7, 2019 20:32
hahaha xD no, not really. I'm pretty boring
Aug 7, 2019 20:30
yea :p
Aug 7, 2019 20:21
wow. most people in my generation have played it except for a few strange people xD I knew someone who sold all his electronics and started creating symphonies in his basement all day long o_o never even had an opportunity to try it out
Aug 7, 2019 20:18
oooo that sounds fun!! :D build a redstone contraption for me haha
Aug 7, 2019 20:18
guess im not the only rusty person here hehe
Aug 7, 2019 20:17
Hows it going buddy??
Aug 7, 2019 20:17
dangit. I haven't used this computer in so long lol. I accidently pressed enter oof
Aug 7, 2019 20:17
are going okay :P
Aug 7, 2019 20:16
@TheTinyMan they
Jul 30, 2019 01:05
@TheTinyMan argh. I'm still here. Feeling better? EhhHH kinda? xD when I'm on more than once a week you'll know I'm in a brighter mood hehe. I hope you're doing well with your new job and everything. Don't be shy to leave me an update here and there so I know how you're doing! :D
Jul 15, 2019 02:44
did I ever talk to you about that girl and what happened recently? I don't remember if I did. I'm broken rn :P I'ma let you go now, I need to sleep. G'night! :)
Jul 15, 2019 02:36
Rest does sound nice :p. Hey, I'm sorry I didn't talk to you when I said I would. I didn't expect to get so sick. That day at work snot was falling out of my nose and I was really embarrassed. Then. Well. You know what happened after that xD
Jul 15, 2019 02:34
I suppose I could research some docker videos when I'm out sick and figure out how to incorporate that into my "studying" projects. Ugh. Those projects are rough. I keep getting overwhelmed and getting distracted with something else
Jul 15, 2019 02:31
I never get sick. let alone this bad
Jul 15, 2019 02:31
I think all this happened because of how depressed I've been lately
Jul 15, 2019 02:31
Mhm. I still have several symptoms and am debating whether or not to forfeit a bunch of moneys and not go to work tomorrow. I really don't feel it. But I also hate being useless
