Journal (2026-08-24) - More windows!

Date: 2026-08-24

Despite being a day of rest, Sunday was a busy day for me, albeit an enjoyable one. Shortly after having my breakfast, I put on some shoes and went traipsing out into the barn to search for the old window casements I replaced. Since I couldn't find any aluminum tracks matching for a conventional wood window anywhere, I figured my only choice was to salvage the old ones.

This is just a journal post of random things going on, and also a good excuse to try out my snazzy new RSS feed generator! I'm sure there's some improvements that could be made to it, but in the meantime I won't know until I try it out under different situations.

Building an RSS feed generator for CozyNet

Date: 2026-08-20

It's been a long time coming, but I've finally made an RSS feed generator for CozyNet! That's right, I don't have to manually copy stuff over into a feed index file anymore!

Well I'm happy to say that I've finally perfected (at least enough to my standards) my window frame making technique! It's taken a long time to finally get here, but hopefully it'll pay off.

General Update v29

Date: 2026-08-14

The months of July and August felt like they flew right by me! They've been especially hot and dry too, which is common for the area this time of year. My yard is crispy dry and dead, meaning I haven't had to mow ever since my last general update blog post, I believe.

Monday & Tuesday Journal (20260804)

Date: 2026-08-04

Monday and Tuesday have been mildly busy days for me. Monday was a wedding shower for another friend of mine, which He'll be getting married this weekend. I feel like I've been writing about weddings every week now!

Friday, Sunday & Saturday Journal (20260802)

Last Friday night I spent time learning how to make my own Churros! Since I was already making my own tortillas for tacos, I was inspired to make Churros for dessert too.

Wednesday & Thursday Journal (20260730)

Date: 2026-08-01

Wednesday morning was smooth sailing. I had breakfast and lunch already prepared and in the fridge, and my coffee pot programmed to startup in before I could get out of bed. I'm writing this in retrospect and can't recall most of the events that happened at work that day.

Tuesday Journal (20260728)

Date: 2026-07-29

Last Sunday I lost one of my notebooks that I used for taking quick notes at church. I've been searching all over my car, the house, and even called around to see if others may have found it. I guess it really is gone...

Monday Journal (20260727)

Date: 2026-07-28

I missed writing a journal post for the last few days, but I'm not going to sweat over it. If I miss a day or two, oh well...

Wednesday & Thursday Journal (20260723)

Date: 2026-07-24

Today I did some work on the CozyNet site to improve the pagination buttons for "Next post" and "Previous Post" to better handle single day multi-posts. I touched on this a little earlier this Monday, but didn't complete it.

I woke up pretty groggy this Monday morning. It's because of the terrible allergies and swimming out at the lake the day before. I changed my alarm to beep 30 minutes later to just lay there for a moment.

Minor improvements and tweaks to my KDE Plasma desktop

This blog post is in relation to my previous post on "Guide to a modern and practical desktop with KDE Plasma 6 (X11 only)."

Saturday & Sunday Journal (20260719)

Date: 2026-07-20

Saturday started off as a pretty busy day. My parents were coming over to visit and I wanted to have something for lunch ready.

Thursday & Friday Journal (20260717)

Thursday and Friday are my remote work days; which came from the pandemic days to reduce the number of employees in the office. Originally my remote work days were Tuesday and Friday, but that was recently changed.

Tuesday & Wednesday Journal (20260715)

I'm going to roll up yesterday and today in this journal post since yesterday was really short.

Monday Journal (20260713)

This is my first journal entry of the month. Like I said in the previous blog post, I'm going to give this a try for roughly a month and see what I think about it by the end.
