Brain farts

Image
By
I was chatting with my friend ChatGPT and brainstorming ideas for what would have been my next blog post and one suggestion was "Creativity in art and design - Explore the connection between mindfulness practices and enhanced creativity, offering tips on how mindfulness can stimulate idea generation." My mind saw the word art and I immediately jumped to think about the term "brain fart" which is itself a brain fart and that is how this blog post came out. How ironic. I should iron out the kinks in my brain or maybe I should embrace the floors of my head space. Art rhymes with fart and I guess I was being artsy fartsy.

My mind nibbled on a plate of distractions, devouring focus and gobbling up important thoughts, leaving behind a mental fart. Sometimes the mind stutters. Sometimes the thoughts and words do not come out like they normally do. Sometimes our mind takes us to unexpected places. Sometimes our mind meets an unpainted speed bump in the road. Sometimes our brain needs a laugh. What did one brain fart say to the other? "You crack me up!"

Brain farts can manifest themselves in different ways like forgetting names, forgetting words, making careless mistakes, drawing blanks, and losing your train of thought. Brain farts can lead to missed deadlines, embarrassing social situations, and even accidents. Stress, fatigue, lack of sleep, hunger, dehydration, and certain medications are some things that can contribute to brain farts. There are things we can do to cope such as taking a deep breath, laughing it off, or asking for help.

The science behind brain farts is not fully understood but there are some theories. One theory is that brain farts are caused by a temporary disruption in the flow of information between different parts of the brain. Another theory is that brain farts are caused by a temporary overload of information in the brain.

I'm glad you enjoyed my blog post! I hope it made you laugh and think at the same time. I think it's important to take brain farts seriously, but not too seriously. They are a normal part of life, and everyone experiences them from time to time. However, if you are experiencing frequent brain farts, it is important to talk to your doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions.

Hobby project - Store and view exchange rates

By
The next step in my project was to test out being able store and display the rates in a database. I decided to use nodejs and supabase for this. Everything worked beautifully. Only hickup was the following error due to my package.json not being correct. SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module Added this to package.json   "type": "module" This works beautifully. Right now I am just testing fragments of what could be part of a bigger system to see what is possible and what works and how easy to code on a mobile. There is no fully functioning integrated end to end system just yet. This is also what I tested. A serverless append-only database using GitHub + Actions + Pages. That’s basically a lightweight backend system. This was the ChatGPT prompt I used. Guide me through each step. This is what I want. A manually run github actions that adds to docs/data.json with the current date and time. docs/index.html displays all the entries in data.json. Make s...

What is important

By
Every now and again, I get reminded of the why. Why I have handed my life over to God. It is 3:08 p.m. and I have decided to write. Honestly, I feel like I could end this blog post right here. What more is there to say? God above all else. God is our compass on this journey called life. Everything else can become a distraction. Maybe not everything, but certainly many things. You get the point. What is important? What do we prioritise? What do we make time for? The answers look different for everyone. Our lives are different. We are tested differently. We are all products of our circumstances, and those circumstances vary from person to person. Yet God is the common thread across humanity and throughout time. God always was and always will be. One day, we will answer to God. We will give account to God. We cannot live without food, water, and oxygen, but all of those things come from God. So how can we live without God? How timely. I just received a notification from the Quranly app: S...

Running php and apache on termux

By
This was my experience getting php and apache to run on termux apt update && apt upgrade -y apt install php-apache I was following an old blog post that used php 7 and got these errors Can't locate API module structure `php7_module' in file /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp.so: undefined symbol: php7_module Cannot load /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp7.so Corrected in apache config file vim $PREFIX/etc/apache2/httpd.conf LoadModule php_module /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp.so Apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe.  You need to recompile PHP. Comment out mpm_worker and use mpm_prefork #LoadModule mpm_worker_module libexec/apache2/mod_mpm_worker.so LoadModule mpm_prefork_module libexec/apache2/mod_mpm_prefork.so This still does not work as apache (httpd) was failing silently. According to Chatty LoadModule php_module ...libphp.so often fails in Termux becau...
