Word Counter

I asked my friends how many words they think they've typed and written throughout their lives and the numbers were in the tens of millions. I spent like ten minutes writing a script to collect a word count of all of these reports and came up with an estimated 24,000 words in 300 reports.

Code Circular

My major project this week was a dashboard for the Code Circular. Since the inception of these weekly progress reports, I've issued a command to my Discord bot to post each report to the Progress channel and eventually, to whatever online mirror I had at the time, from the WordPress site to the Code Circular. Once I created the Code Circular, I lost any easy to edit or delete reports, having to resort to modifying the database entries raw. This week, I created a full dashboard—complete with a login flow—to allow me to post, edit, and delete reports directly from the website. Unfortunately, this isn't something I can exactly show off so you'll just have to take my word for how awesome it is.

Tale of Flocksworth

Turns out, I had math problems all over the place. I have no idea how the consequences of these mistakes only showed up recently, but I went around and fixed all of them and verified they work properly. Since the dashboard took up most of my time, the only other work I did here this week was cleaning up massive, useless comment blocks and re-adding functions that mysteriously went missing.
