Word Press Desktop Poster

Monday, September 21, 2026

I created a desktop client to publish to WordPress blogs. I kept longing for Open Live Writer, or the old Microsoft Word blog template.  This should work on Windows and Linux since it uses Python and the built-in libraries. The graphics library is Tkinter which comes with Python by default.  This was built and tested [...]

Create a Devuan Source ISO

Tuesday, August 4, 2026

Many distributions do not provide a source ISO to match their installation media. Debian provides one, as does Oracle. As far as I know, those are the only two that do that. Since the GPL requires one to redistribute the source code with the program, one needs to possess a copy of that source code [...]

It can be difficult to add a secondary storage to Nextcloud if the storage location is a new local drive. Authentication errors abound and leave one unable to use the additional space. To resolve this, add the drive to the system, and use the occ command to add the secondary storage. Add the new drive, [...]

Apostrophe on Linux and the Preview

Thursday, July 23, 2026

Apostrophe on Linux fails to show the preview in some newer operating systems. This occurs because the WebKit backend switched to using hardware acceleration and this does not work for many users. A fix to the launching command works to bring the preview back to Apostrophe, but the same fix will not work for Epiphany. [...]

Data Science Time Warp Machine

Sunday, February 23, 2025

Fedora 38 freezes up and crashes sometimes when using Gnome on bare metal.  This may be the result of Gnome reliability issues.  In a previous article I detailed creating a massive repo of Fedora 38, and I still have it.  I will not delete the 238GB repo because Fedora 40 is the last one with [...]

T+n time series analysis

Friday, December 10, 2021

This isn’t stock advice, it’s a data and math project. AAPL is interesting (not investing advice!) from a data perspective. Part of my big data project was the creation of a tool to analyze every symbol regressed on every other symbol for numerous lags. In addition to revealing the vendor’s mangling of data for unknown [...]
