Dolorem Ipsum

November 11, 2021 | 3 minutes

How would Cicero feel if he learned most knew him through Lorem Ipsum? I’m sure he’d lose his head… again. To further Herennius’ delight, Cicero didn’t even write those lines! To do justice to his legacy, I present Cicerkov: The Cicero Markov Chain.

Efficient Solar-Powered Website

November 7, 2021 | 3 minutes

After seeing Kris’ solar-powered website, I decided I wanted my own to be the same. This conveniently followed the release of the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, a low-power SoC. I purchased this board since I doubt my website will warrant anything stronger than a Raspberry Pi and it enables solar-power with its small energy footprint.

Short and Sweet Google Interview Process

September 29, 2021 | 3 minutes

I’ll use this post as a progress report of the Google Internship application process. The only unique thing I did in regards with the initial application was specifying my interest in the ChromeOS team. In addition, I submitted a bug report to the ChromeOS team and mentioned my application.

QR Quine

September 25, 2021 |

I was hoping to encode the b64 string of a QR code into another QR code. The catch was that the encoded QR code would match the encoded string of the QR code. When you scan the QR code, it would return itself.

Assembly Neural Network on Pico

September 10, 2021 | 13 minutes

I’ve been using the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s products for almost a decade now, but they only recently released their first microcontroller. Their custom RP2040 has an ARM Cortex-M0+ chip that, obviously, uses ARM assembly. I’ve been wanting to learn assembly and this is definitely a great opportunity to do so.

Searching for Interactive Code

September 3, 2021 |

I want readers to execute code I use anywhere in my blog. Recently, I added code that scrapes DuckDuckGo’s !bangs; however, the reader would need to run the code on their own machine. It’d be helpful if they could have executable code embedded in the post.
