Trying to get flip cards reading content from files. Wasted about an hour due to a dumb error &#8212; uploading the updated file to the wrong place. But in any event, while I am able to read text from a new file, something is going wrong either with reading it into an array or getting it back out. I need to get a more thorough undrestanding of how arrays work, simplify the code I have for random quotes so it does only what I need, and then adapt that for flip cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> First I will aim to get a basic textual flip card for word definitions going. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After I have that, I will see if I can create a flip card class, with subclasses for different types of flip cards &#8212; that will be a nice first project for nailing down my understanding of object-oriented programming. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rocks and Tech<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Went over to C&#8217;s today, and we spend an hour and a half talking about rocks and related matters. That was fun. I played around around a bit with different apps for taking photos and capturing information about rock specimens: I think it is clear that Apple Notes is the best suited out of the various things I&#8217;ve tried (Noteshelf; photos; &#8230;): it allows one to take a picture, mark it up, and dictate a caption; it presumably also captures the location, and automatically shares the information across Apple devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New iPhone also arrived today, and so I spent time setting that up. Apple has done a pretty impressive job at automating setup, so that the new phone inherits the setup of the old one. The only instance I can see where they could have done better is to prompt the user to give the new phone a new name &#8212; assuming most people are like me and incorporate the phone version into the name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Had a good piano lesson yesterday. Practiced beforehand, and then went by the store afterwards. Had fish for supper. <\/p>\n<p>Views: 16<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday 2 February 2022 Last night&#8217;s impending &#8216;winter weather&#8217; finally materialized this morning.
