Day 7/50 I've discovered the .warc file format and I'm now using it to archive thevalleyofcode (see day 6). I've made a small python script to archive a whole website with a whitelist so I don't escape to google.com and scrap the internet

I've also read a small paper on FastWARC (python library for archiving) but I won't count it for my 50 days goals as it's only one page

day six already! time flies when you're having fun ig today: • more progress towards working game, specifically I got the asteroids bouncing now and actually getting removed when they collide • new project 👀 hackclub.slack.com/archives/C08KQ9DUJUX/p1763410857979709 go check it out @ #C09T243J8F9|! • wanted to code more, then realized i got training tomorrow and first race of the season saturday so decided to sleep @ 10:20PM (still late

)

day 7/50 • finished anicept cel printhead!!!!!!!!!!! really happy with how it looks. Wire routing I think is pretty decent, but may need work depending on how flexible the hotend wires are • did research for it, and started making a nice clean BOM • moved a random component for no reason • school + piano

day 7 of 50 days till 2026 I finished my c++ assignment for the week and made a battleship game! I had been procrastinating on this for a bit because the object file we are required to use as an api is built exclusively for x86_64 and we have no access to compiling it ourselves so I couldn't work on it on my mac. I realized I could just clone my repo to my server and do the assignment over ssh and ended up doing that today.

(Yesterday) • Sunday full day of studies • No coding these days as exams • No Github activity today • Did Physics,Maths,Biology and Geography • Did khan academy stuff.

days 5/6 of 50 days till 2026! didn't get to making an update yesterday as I had to finish up some schoolwork and then immediately crashed and fell asleep. I did get 100 on my deeply procrastinated essay though! I did a bit of work on improving test coverage of the code and got tests implemented for all of the api routes! I also discovered I have $250 worth of claude code web credits that expire on the 18th so I decided to see how much I could get done through there. The web ui turned out to actually work fairly well but I definitely wish I had those credits as api credits instead. I'm still trying to figure out a good model for how to organize transcripts but I did the preliminary work on organizing them into classes and having waitlists for classes to open up.

day 4 of 50 days till 2026 well today was fun

I had a trip to the ER because I kept coughing to the point of dry vomiting and being unable to breath. I got to try some really not nasty at all medicine that should hopefully calm my throat down and we shall see if that works. I don't have a super good visual for this one but I added a copy code button to thistle and did a bunch of work on getting the cleanup to work well on long token heavy transcripts. I also updated murmur so it bases the estimated progress on how long the input audio file is which should improve that quite a bit. I also had a fun time with calc (not sarcastic it was actually fun) this morning in a review session before our exam next tuesday. I relearned how to do limits at infinity which I wasn't feel super confident on and now am feeling pretty good about the exam!

day #4: • I tried so so hard to get Godot to work and not give me the spinny lolipop, but I failed…it was just stuck on “updating scene groups” • I finished reading Extras last night, so tonight I am going to start reading a book called Shatter Me

day 3 of 50 days till 2026 This day is actually a bit delayed from yesterday as I needed to finish up a boatload of homework but I was able to get a bit of work done on thistle! I got an admin dashboard working and fully implemented passkeys as well as just tightening up a bunch of smaller security holes. I had a scholarship competition for most of the morning and afternoon so I wasn't able to do much beyond that. Hopefully I can get a bit of kicad in over the weekend but we shall see.

Day 2 of 50 days till 2026! I got a decent amount done today! I worked on my transcription app thistle a fair bit working on locking down security around logins and sessions. I also got paragraph chunking working fairly reliably with kimi k2 which was awesome! Related to thistle I also made a homebrew tap repo and added murmur (custom streaming whisper server I made) so I don't have to rebuild the swift project every time I want to test thistle. It ended up being a bit of a hassle to get homebrew to build the bottles so people don't have to build the project locally but I got it working in the end! JLC responded back today and explained that my keyboard was counted as two parts since the traces don't connect over the two parts which is fair. I updated the panelization on those to have more easily removable mouse bites which should be much less annoying to remove. On the subject of internships I had some fascinating conversations today with a few people so I might have some stuff moving there. Also did a bit of work rewriting my resume which is fun. Its quite a bit of trying to get everything concise enough to fit on one page :)

*day 2/50* today was a smaller day since i'm sick (why is everyone else getting sick too???) but I did manage to make tanuki save the selected game to a persistent store! i had to add quite a lot of checks and some workarounds for Svelte not marking things accessed in await as dependencies (why??), but it does work! here's some of the code, ignore the typescript errors

Day one of 50 days till 2026! I wasn't able to get a ton of work done on my main goals but I did some work on registering from spring classes and got a new headshot! I tweaked my github readme a bit to look a bit better and updated my website with a new code block about me as well as giving it the ability to display hackclub emojis through cachet inspired by @Natey');DROPTABLEStudents;-- ! I also got the grant for my split keyboard thyme (thank you @TaranEntitytheIdiotEntity

) and started ordering the parts for that! I have almost everything ordered now except for machine pins and JLC getting mad about my board (they are saying its two designs in one which I kind of get? they only want to charge me $5 more though so thats good). I made a bit of progress on internship searching; I found a company called Vertiv which is quite close to where I live and I'm looking at applying for their computer engineering intern role. They seem like quite a neat company and they make products for monitoring data centers as far as I can tell.

hello! realized i haven't participated in my own event yet so here I am :P

*DAY 1/50* today was a pretty chill day since I spent time prepping for my dad's birthday and running this event, but I did manage to get some work done on Tanuki! i've added rain sounds with its own slider, fixed bugs, and made a few UI tweaks.
