[Image description: The title card from the sitcom That's So Raven, except the word "Raven" has been replaced with the word "Windows". -end ID]

back when I used to use this awful cheap HP Windows 7 laptop I would keep it set on the windows classic theme that made it look like windows 95. I honestly miss that theme, windows isn't the same without the ability to make it look ancient and outdated on purpose.

i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.

so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.

Check-in for 01/28/24

It's been a while since I did one of these. Time to remedy that!

I've been doing well in my assignments, but due to some registration issues at the start of the semester I was unable to sign up for any web development or programming classes :< It's nice to take a break, but I'm really worried about getting stagnant in those skills, and maybe even losing what I've learned over time.

This is where a couple of new projects come in: A blorbo database and a tool for drawing pokemon from memory. These things are going to keep me avoid stagnancy and help me develop my web dev and Python programming skills, and I'm real excited to talk about them.

First up, let's talk about that tool for drawing pokemon from memory. I love drawing pokemon from memory, but it's a bit of a struggle to find tools online that work well for a solo experience when you're doing this challenge alone. So I made a program in PyGame to solve this problem, and I've actually already completed it! It was a great learning experience when it came to getting a taste of APIs, and PokeAPI really helped me do all the heavy lifting with it. I also ended up using ChatGPT to help me understand how to phrase my questions and the things I needed to research. This is the end result:

If you click "Get Random Pokemon", the program will provide a pokemon's name. The point of it is to draw the pokemon as best as you remember it, and then click "Show Pokemon Image" to see how you did. You will then have the option to get a new random pokemon, which clears the image from the window.

There's a lot of stuff I don't understand about how the program works--- APIs evade my understanding, and Tkinter is a dark art beyond my comprehension. But I was able to make a program that solved a genuine problem for me for the first time, and that's super exciting to me!

Now, for web development--- long story short, I'm making a website dedicated to cataloguing my OCs that's very much inspired by tumblr user @snekkerdoodles's personal site on neocities, which I regularly stare at in an effort to motivate myself to make cool things like it (everyone reading this should check his page out IMMEDIATELY and tell him how cool it is). Here's the screenshots of the WIP I'm chipping away at right now:

I don't have much to say about it, as the interesting stuff will really be the content of the pages, and I still have yet to finish the template page I'll be filling with my OCs' information. However, I can say that I'm very upset with the lack of proper teaching that took place in the first (and currently only) college web dev class I've taken. I spent an entire semester doing my own research to learn everything they were supposed to be teaching us. I'm still very peeved about that.

To summarize this very rambling post I'm too sleepy to edit properly, I'm making a digital blorbo encyclopedia, and I finished making a little desktop app thingy, which means I need to summon a new programming project. I'm tempted to make it a video game... maybe I should turn back to that visual novel idea I had ages ago and boot up RenPy!

[dragonfly7022003]

Some programs I have created and use.

File Scanner

This program is more of a scanner to search a server and find all the older files. I set it up to scan for older files that are over 7 years old and compile them into an excel file so they can be reviewed before deletion. This is a good program for users for file retention policies. Also to find those information hoarders.

Now the program will ask you for a file path, then ask where you want to store the excel folder.

import os import datetime from openpyxl import Workbook from tkinter import filedialog import tkinter as tk

def get_file_creation_time(file_path): """ Get the creation time of a file. """ print("File path:", file_path) #Debug Print try: return datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(os.path.getctime(file_path)) except OSError as e: print("Error:", e) #debug print return None

def get_file_size(file_path): """ Get the size of a file. """ return os.path.getsize(file_path)

def list_old_files(folder_path, output_directory): """ List files older than 7 years in a folder and store their information in an Excel file. """ # Initialize Excel workbook wb = Workbook() ws = wb.active ws.append(["File Name", "File Path", "Creation Date", "Size (bytes)"])

# Get current date current_date = datetime.datetime.now()

# Traverse through files in the folder for root, dirs, files in os.walk(folder_path): for file in files: file_path = os.path.join(root, file) creation_time = get_file_creation_time(file_path) if creation_time is None: continue #Skip files that could not be retrived

file_age = current_date - creation_time if file_age.days > 7 * 365: # Check if file is older than 7 years file_size = get_file_size(file_path) ws.append([file, file_path, creation_time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'), file_size])

# Save Excel file to the specified directory output_excel = os.path.join(output_directory, "old_files.xlsx") wb.save(output_excel) print("Old files listed and saved to", output_excel)

if __name__ == "__main__": # Initialize Tkinter root = tk.Tk() root.withdraw() # Hide the main window

# Ask for folder path folder_path = filedialog.askdirectory(title="Select Folder")

# Ask for output directory output_directory = filedialog.askdirectory(title="Select Output Directory")

list_old_files(folder_path, output_directory)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Older file Scanner and Delete

Working in the IT field, you will find that the users will fill up the space on the servers with older files.

Especially if you work within an industry that needs to have document retention policies where you can not keep some documents longer than a certain amount of time or you just have hoarders on your network. You will know those people who do not delete anything and save everything.

So I wrote up a program that will search through a selected server and find all empty files, older files, and delete them.

import os import datetime import tkinter as tk from tkinter import filedialog

def list_files_and_empty_folders_to_delete(folder_path): # Get the current date current_date = datetime.datetime.now()

# Calculate the date seven years ago seven_years_ago = current_date - datetime.timedelta(days=7*365)

files_to_delete = [] empty_folders_to_delete = []

# Iterate over files and folders recursively for root, dirs, files in os.walk(folder_path, topdown=False): # Collect files older than seven years for file_name in files: file_path = os.path.join(root, file_name) # Get the modification time of the file file_modified_time = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(os.path.getmtime(file_path)) # Check if the file is older than seven years if file_modified_time < seven_years_ago: files_to_delete.append(file_path)

# Collect empty folders for dir_name in dirs: dir_path = os.path.join(root, dir_name) if not os.listdir(dir_path): # Check if directory is empty empty_folders_to_delete.append(dir_path)

return files_to_delete, empty_folders_to_delete

def delete_files_and_empty_folders(files_to_delete, empty_folders_to_delete): # Print files to be deleted print("Files to be deleted:") for file_path in files_to_delete: print(file_path)

# Print empty folders to be deleted print("\nEmpty folders to be deleted:") for folder_path in empty_folders_to_delete: print(folder_path)

# Confirmation before deletion confirmation = input("\nDo you want to proceed with the deletion? (yes/no): ") if confirmation.lower() == "yes": # Delete files for file_path in files_to_delete: os.remove(file_path) print(f"Deleted file: {file_path}")

# Delete empty folders for folder_path in empty_folders_to_delete: os.rmdir(folder_path) print(f"Deleted empty folder: {folder_path}") else: print("Deletion canceled.")

def get_folder_path(): root = tk.Tk() root.withdraw() # Hide the main window

folder_path = filedialog.askdirectory(title="Select Folder") return folder_path

# Ask for the folder path using a dialog box folder_path = get_folder_path()

# Check if the folder path is provided if folder_path: # List files and empty folders to be deleted files_to_delete, empty_folders_to_delete = list_files_and_empty_folders_to_delete(folder_path) # Delete files and empty folders if confirmed delete_files_and_empty_folders(files_to_delete, empty_folders_to_delete) else: print("No folder path provided.")

Batch File Mod

This program is used for when you need to mod Batch files. Any person in IT that has had to manage Batch files for a large company can think how annoying it would be to go through each one and make a single line change.

Well this program is made to search through all the batch files and you can write in a line, and it will replace it with another line you choose.

import os

def find_files_with_text(directory_path, text_to_find): files_with_text = [] for root, _, files in os.walk(directory_path): for file_name in files: if file_name.endswith('.bat'): file_path = os.path.join(root, file_name) with open(file_path, 'r') as file: if any(text_to_find in line for line in file): files_with_text.append(file_path) return files_with_text

def remove_line_from_file(file_path, text_to_remove): try: with open(file_path, 'r') as file: lines = file.readlines()

with open(file_path, 'w') as file: for line in lines: if text_to_remove not in line: file.write(line)

print(f"Removed lines containing '{text_to_remove}' from {file_path}.")

except FileNotFoundError: print(f"Error: The file {file_path} does not exist.") except Exception as e: print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

def process_directory(directory_path, text_to_remove): files_with_text = find_files_with_text(directory_path, text_to_remove)

if not files_with_text: print(f"No files found containing the text '{text_to_remove}'.") return

for file_path in files_with_text: print(f"Found '{text_to_remove}' in {file_path}") user_input = input( f"Do you want to remove the line containing '{text_to_remove}' from {file_path}? (yes/no): ").strip().lower() if user_input == 'yes': remove_line_from_file(file_path, text_to_remove) else: print(f"Skipped {file_path}.")

if __name__ == "__main__": directory_path = input("Enter the path to the directory containing batch files: ") text_to_remove = input("Enter the text to remove: ") process_directory(directory_path, text_to_remove)

[transgender-tech-support]

I used to use ChatGPT to fact-check my coding because hey, it’s the same language as Chat so it should be good with it right? Machines are as smart as the people who make them, and the people that make this know how to program right?

Until I had to entirely revert to an old save file with SEVERAL features missing because I had laced AI in so interwoven I couldn’t remember what was AI and what was github.

Because chatGPT broke my entire program

I’m making a software called Loveletter- a simple notebook- and it kept writing in null loops and lines that weren’t needed, and at one point tried to entirely write out TKinter.

(TKinter is an internal library that allows you to do things like create buttons, windows, colors, fonts, etc. TKinter is what you use to create a GUI, aka the thing that actually makes your program have a visual and not just run lines of code)

It fails even its main languages.

Getting Started with Desktop Application Development

While web and mobile apps dominate today’s tech scene, desktop applications are still essential in many industries — from productivity tools and games to system utilities and business software. This guide introduces the fundamentals of desktop application development and how to get started building your own apps.

What is a Desktop Application?

A desktop application is a software program that runs natively on an operating system like Windows, macOS, or Linux. Unlike web apps, desktop applications don’t rely on a browser and can offer greater access to system resources and offline functionality.

Why Build Desktop Apps?

Offline Capability: Desktop apps don’t need internet access to run.

Performance: Can take full advantage of system hardware.

Access to System Resources: File systems, printers, OS-level APIs.

Platform-Specific Design: Customize the experience for each OS.

Popular Frameworks for Desktop App Development

Electron (JavaScript): Build cross-platform desktop apps using web technologies.

JavaFX (Java): A robust framework for Java-based desktop apps.

Qt (C++ or Python via PyQt): A powerful cross-platform toolkit.

WPF (C#): For building Windows desktop apps using .NET.

Tkinter (Python): Simple GUI apps for learning and prototyping.

Example: Basic GUI with Python and Tkinter

import tkinter as tk def greet(): label.config(text="Hello, " + entry.get() + "!") app = tk.Tk() app.title("Simple App") entry = tk.Entry(app) entry.pack() button = tk.Button(app, text="Greet", command=greet) button.pack() label = tk.Label(app) label.pack() app.mainloop()

Example: Electron App (JavaScript/HTML/CSS)

// main.js const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron'); function createWindow() { const win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600 }); win.loadFile('index.html'); } app.whenReady().then(createWindow);

Best Practices for Desktop App Development

Keep the UI clean and responsive.

Ensure cross-platform compatibility (if targeting multiple OS).

Handle file I/O and system access carefully.

Use version control (e.g., Git) to manage development.

Test on real devices and environments.

Distribution Options

Windows: MSI/EXE installers, Microsoft Store.

macOS: DMG packages, Mac App Store (requires notarization).

Linux: DEB/RPM packages, Snap, Flatpak.

Cross-platform: Tools like Electron-builder or PyInstaller.

Conclusion

Desktop application development is a rewarding path that allows for rich, powerful software experiences. With frameworks like Electron, WPF, or Qt, you can create sleek and functional desktop apps suited to various platforms and needs. Start small, experiment with different tools, and bring your software ideas to life!

Boost Your Productivity with a Tkinter-Based Python IDE

In the world of Python GUI development, Tkinter remains a popular choice due to its simplicity and native support. However, traditional Tkinter development often involves manually coding UI elements, which can be time-consuming and error-prone. LabDeck’s Modern Tkinter GUI Designer, integrated with a specialized Python IDE, is changing the way developers approach Tkinter-based applications. By streamlining the design process and offering advanced development tools, this combination significantly enhances productivity for both beginners and professionals.

Why Use a Tkinter-Based Python IDE?

A dedicated Tkinter-based Python IDE, such as the one provided by LabDeck, eliminates the need for complex manual coding by integrating a drag-and-drop GUI designer with an intelligent development environment. Here’s why this approach is transforming Python GUI development:

1. Simplified GUI Design with Drag-and-Drop Functionality

Traditional Tkinter development requires extensive coding for layout design, widget placement, and styling.

 Python: A Versatile Programming Language

Python is one of the most popular and versatile programming languages in the world today. From web development to data analysis, machine learning, and automation, Python has gained a reputation for being user-friendly and powerful. In this blog, we'll explore why Python has become a go-to language for developers, data scientists, and even non-programmers looking to automate tasks or build applications.

Why Python?

Exploring

1. Simple and Readable Syntax

One of the key reasons Python has become so widely adopted is its clean and readable syntax. Unlike many other programming languages that can be dense and hard to understand, Python’s syntax is straightforward and closely resembles the English language. This makes it an excellent language for beginners to learn, as it allows them to focus on solving problems rather than battling complex syntax rules.

For example, compare the process of printing "Hello, World!" in Python with other languages:

Python:pythonCopy codeprint("Hello, World!")

Java:javaCopy codepublic class HelloWorld { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello, World!"); } }

As you can see, Python's one-liner code is far simpler than Java’s verbose structure, which includes class definitions and other boilerplate code.

2. Extensive Libraries and Frameworks

Python boasts a large collection of libraries and frameworks that simplify development. Libraries are pre-written code that provide reusable functions, and frameworks are larger structures that offer a more complete solution to common development problems.

Some of the most popular Python libraries and frameworks include:

NumPy and Pandas for data manipulation and analysis

Matplotlib and Seaborn for data visualization

Flask and Django for web development

TensorFlow and PyTorch for machine learning

Requests for making HTTP requests

These tools have been designed to integrate easily with Python, saving developers time by providing solutions to common problems without the need to reinvent the wheel.

3. Cross-Platform Compatibility

Python is cross-platform, which means that Python programs can run on Windows, macOS, and Linux without modification. This makes Python an ideal choice for developers working in diverse environments or aiming to create software that runs on multiple platforms.

Additionally, Python can be used to build both desktop applications (using frameworks like Tkinter or PyQt) and web applications (using Flask, Django, or FastAPI), making it a truly versatile language.

4. Community Support

Another reason for Python's success is its active and vibrant community. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, there is a vast wealth of tutorials, documentation, forums, and support networks available to help you when you’re stuck. Popular platforms like Stack Overflow, GitHub, and Reddit host countless Python-related discussions and resources.

The Python community also regularly contributes to the language's growth and development. With regular updates and improvements, the Python Software Foundation (PSF) ensures that Python evolves to meet the needs of modern developers.

5. Ideal for Automation and Scripting

Python’s simplicity also makes it an ideal choice for automating repetitive tasks and writing scripts. Many developers use Python to automate simple tasks like renaming files, scraping data from websites, or even managing system operations.

For example, you can use Python’s os module to automate file management tasks, or you can write a Python script to scrape data from a website using the popular BeautifulSoup library.

Python in the Real World

Python is used by a wide variety of organizations and industries. Some of the biggest names in tech, including Google, Facebook, and Netflix, rely on Python for various aspects of their software development. It’s also extensively used in fields like finance, healthcare, and scientific research, with researchers using Python for data analysis, simulations, and machine learning models.

Even in the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Python dominates. Libraries like TensorFlow, Keras, and PyTorch have made it easier than ever for developers to create sophisticated AI models and deep learning systems.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Python’s simplicity, versatility, and large ecosystem make it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced developers alike. Its wide array of libraries, frameworks, and cross-platform capabilities ensure that Python will continue to be a dominant force in the programming world for many years to come. Whether you’re interested in web development, data science, or automation, learning Python is a valuable skill that can open doors to numerous career opportunities.
