When hunger yearns

By
This is going to be my fourth book. It is called "When hunger yearns". This is me asking lots of questions. The first chapter of the book talks about why I am writing this book. The book title is an acronym for WHY. Below are the chapters as I write them. Here is a link to a digital copy of the book and as I write the chapters I will share them on my blog and link them below.

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...

Hobby coding project - Queries for play whe data

By
I have an interest in open data and being able to query that data and gain beautiful insights. One data set that would be interesting is the play whe results data. Our open data is lacking in Trinidad and I will try to contact NLCB to see if they can provide and maintain the data online. But in the meanwhile I will use randomised data to create the website and do my testing. First thing I did was install sqlite on termux pkg update && pkg upgrade pkg install sqlite sqlite3 --version Create my database in my project folder sqlite3 results.db Useful commands .exit .quit Exit from multiline prompt ; SQL to create my table (create_tbl_results.sql) CREATE TABLE DrawResults (     DrawNo INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,                           DrawDate DATE,     ResultNo INTEGER CHECK (ResultNo BETWEEN 1 AND 36),     DrawTime INTEGER CHECK (DrawTime BETWEEN 1 AND 4) ); SQL to create the random dat...
