Its past 512 published articles but that\u2019s how it goes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t think the site is gaining in popularity but I’ve been adding more Python articles to the blog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially there was a lot of visits for OpenMaint but that has dropped off, and I’m getting more visits for AutoHotKey v1 to v2 in VS Code . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall its more an aide-m\u00e9moire for me and also mentally working through the projects I’m trying to build. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’m also getting a dropoff on my YouTube site, my GlideApp videos are a bit outdated and the other videos I’m making are not causing much interest. I still think they are worthwhile doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall I am finding it a bit more of an effort to keep on blogging when I’m using Obsidian to do a lot of my notes and articles. I was initially enthused with the plugin that would take a Obsidian article and push it to wordpress but that broke, and trying to convert the markdown to plain text for wordpress became a bit of a pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topics <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I’ve spent a lot of the time in the last 100 articles on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. writing and publishing books, courses & apps and creating a website for Woo commerce (that no one used) and doing research on published information. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Working on Python API information for Zoe for her business and learning Python & API’s. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Focused on practical python scripts for my personal use, Astronomy data, Weather Data, web Scraping and other Python related projects such as deploying flask & streamlit apps. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Some productivity tools, notably MaxLauncher (a Streamdeck equivalent) and aText, which I love. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Some exploration on Electric Scooters and bits and bobs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. A couple of articles on AI tools, but not many, a bit of a bandwagon at the moment. I’ll wait until hype slows down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. I’ve been focusing more on the videos rather than the articles with poorer results, not the popular topic that Glide was. Still, I’d rather be doing what I enjoy. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    I’ve been pleased with what I’ve produced. At present a few issues: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Glide are cancelling my reservation app. I can’t be motivated to do it again in the new setup , so will let it fade away.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Udemy courses were not that great a success, no users for the last few months so I’ll let them be removed from the platform. Worth a crack but no pickup for them. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Google Analytics pushing to upgrade to new setup from my current one, I’m not sure if I’ll bother to upgrade at this time. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      End Comment <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Well, another 100 articles written, and forgotten or not looked at by many. Such is life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Within the time frame my other 2 brothers have passed away, and so I think I’ll be focusing on what gives me pleasure as time is ticking so do things that you value doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Hopefully I’ll get another 100 articles in. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
