A Hundred Days of Code, Day 026 - Refactoring
Worked only an hour today. Trying to change the little lookup program, I made the other day, into something a little better. Not quite a good day. Calling it quits early.

A Hundred Days of Code, Day 025 - Comprehension Exercises
Working on Comprehension exercises today. Reflections and Experience I really need feedback, when it comes to programming. I cannot face a blank page. I always seem to start with printing something out to screen and then my brain kind of kicks into gear. Everything after that is just type, print, is this what I expected, if not then fix, type, print … Exercise 3.1 and I think, I am finally getting good handle on comprehensions....
A Hundred Days of Code, Day 023, Day 24 - Tiny Utility to do comparative DNS Lookups
Problem - Compare domain lookups, against DoH Servers Take a list of domains (one per line) from a text file as input, find the IP address for the domain using the standard system level DNS, and then check against DoH answers from both cloudflare and google. and say if all answers match properly or not. Notes What do I need to do? (checklist) Get a list of popular websites, (probably Alexa) figure out a way to read them in loop through each line, and look up its ip with the local dns (use the sockets module) with Google’s DoH json endpoint (use the requests module) with Cloudflare’s DoH json endpoint (ditto like Google) Compare all the values....
A Hundred Days of Code, Day 022 - Getting into the Groove
Did the same time as yesterday. Only about an hour. Was much more prodcutive though. Getting the hang of how to sit and program and work through things I do not know. Gaining a bit of experience with the workflow now. I have the basics in hand. I know what I want to look up. So check problem, work a bit, look up, try, fail, repeat, gain incremental success, work some more....
A Hundred Days of Code, Day 021 - Swing and a miss
Only did about an hour of distracted work and exercises today. I’ll still count it though. Tomorrow is another day :)
A Hundred Days of Code, Day 020 - Setting up an Editor for Python Development
Had given myself a day, to see if I could get a good Python development environment using Elpy and Emacs. It does work. Just not well enough for me. At the end of the day today, I was happy I learnt so much about Emacs. But that is not my focus right now. Python is. Emacs knowledge can come slowly and organically. So I have kept Emacs as my regular editor for nearly everything text....
