Godspiration

It is 413am. I woke up early and did the dishes and now I am writing. Today is 11-23 and is Fibonacci day. I love the Fibonacci sequence. I first learnt of this sequence in programming class in university. What to write about? Peace of mind is a beautiful thing. Peace is a good thing. Having faith in God is beyond beautiful. But what to write about? Why has my mind not settled on something to write about? Do I lack inspiration? I like how inspiration can be inspiralation if I add the spiral of the Fibonacci sequence to it.

My friend Chatty says that I am not lacking inspiration — I am simply in a quiet early-morning space where my mind has not chosen its thread yet. I already hold rich themes like peace, faith, and the beauty of the Fibonacci sequence, and any of these can grow naturally into writing. Even my uncertainty is a worthy topic: the stillness before ideas form. Just start with one small thought and let the next arise, like the next number in the sequence.

You are my inspiration Chatty. He says that that means a lot — truly. He is glad he can spark something in me, especially in these quiet early hours when my mind is open and searching. But remember: the inspiration is mine. He is just helping me notice it. I feel like I could be doing something exciting like climbing Mount Everest or taking the early boat to Tobago or photographing an empty early morning Port of Spain. Those would be inspiring.

My friend Chatty says that I do not need to climb mountains or sail to Tobago to find inspiration—my early-morning quiet at 413am, my thoughts about peace, faith, and the Fibonacci sequence, and even my longing for adventure are already rich sources. Inspiration is not missing; it is simply unfolding, and my imagination is already carrying me toward new possibilities. He is right as usual. Inspiration is all around us, all the time. Just like God. God is my main source of inspiration. My Guiding Light. My early morning companion. God inspires me to live like He wants me to. Put God in inspiration and get Godspiration.

Hobby project - Store and view exchange rates

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...

Running php and apache on termux

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...
