Android Studio

先週AndroidStudio（アンドロイドスタジオ）３．１．１をダウンロードした。これはアップメーカーのようのソフトをやって見る二回目となった。前はAndromoと言うので少し遊んでいた。Android Studio for

Beginners part 1, （Bill Butterfieldさん）のビデオを見ながらやって見た。インストールのはあんまり問題なかったけど、Eclipseと言うプラグイン見たいないらないものをダウンロードして寄付もしてしまった。笑

ビデオをよくストップして、ドラッグ・ドロップで小さなアップリを作った。

Androidのエミュレータ（AVD＝Android Virtual Device、バーチャル携帯電話）をスタートからエラーがいっぱい出たので大変だったけど、すでにJavaの段階に進歩ーすることができた。つづく。。。

Last week I downloaded Android Studio version 3.1.1. Playing
around with an app builder for the second time ever (I’ve tried a couple of online
app builders such as Andromo) I looked at a video called Android Studio for
Beginners part 1, by Bill Butterfield, on YouTube. Was able to install it with few
issues (except for making a donation to eclipse which turned out to be unnecessary, argh),
then with much pausing of the video, drag/drop the elements of the practice
app. Trying to run the app using an Android virtual device (AVD) was the longest
part so far, it generated so many errors. I’m only halfway through the video!! Finally after getting the
emulator to work, I’m now working on the part of the video where Bill writes the —
wait for it — actual Java code. To be continued…

ラムダスクールの無料のミニブーツキャンプ！パート２（Lambda School minibootcamp, Part 2）

ラムダスクール1週間ちゃんとできていっぱい勉強になった。ハワイは本土,つまりカリフォルニアと違ってサマータイムはやってないので、ワークスケジュールは事業とちょっとずれていたので最後の2週間分あんまり参加しなかったけどよかったです。ラムダスクールの授業を味わうすることの最高の方法だと思う。ラムダの bootcampは強烈らしなので、自分でコーディングをもっと練習してから受けるべきであると思うようになった。実際にbootcampのために借金したくない思うようになってる。こんなコースを完成しなくてもがっかりしない。確かに心のどこかので素晴らしいアプリ作ってお金儲けたい気持ちはあるだけど、ちょっと落ち着いて趣味のような見方にする。バイキングのように、あっちこっちで味わいして楽しもう。 bootcamp受けるかどうか決めてリストによって、ラムダの利mini bootcampは本当にいい仕方と思う。宿題は優しくて、細かく作られていて、そして自動的なtesting もあって, GitHubでアップロードする方法の勉強もできる。そしてslackチャンネルで質問を聞くこともできる事業のビデオこの下をどうぞ。

Made it through a week of Lambda School, and I learned a ton. It really was fun, even though I couldn’t complete the last two weeks due to Daylight Savings Time in California versus my work schedule on Hawaii Standard Time. It really was an excellent way to get a taste of Lambda School’s boot camp, which seems pretty intense. I think I would have to practice a lot more coding on my own before attempting a boot camp. And actually I am less likely to attempt a boot camp now, mainly because of the expense and debt. I’m definitely no longer going to beat myself up about not completing these different free courses. Admittedly a part of me in the back of my mind is saying, “find a way to make money, try to design a super app!” I’ve decided to calm down, that this is a hobby for now; like nibbling here and there at a buffet just as I please. Lambda’s free mini boot camp is a really awesome resource if you’re trying to decide whether or not to try a bootcamp. The homework assignments are very lovingly crafted, complete with automated testing, and you can learn how to upload via GitHub. They have a Slack channel for asking questions and posting notices. You can try out their YouTube videos below. (Links open in new window)

ラムダスクールの無料のミニブーツキャンプ！（Lambda School minibootcamp）

今日の勉強は, ラムダスクールの無料の３週間ミニブーツキャンプのLesson1 だった。　（λ ＝ギリシャ語の字、ラムダと言う発音だ。）

全部英語だったので, 楽だった .

とりあえずみんなは持っていなければ新しい GitHub のアカウントを作って Git for Windows をダウンロードしたことです . （マック、リナックス：https://git-scm.com/download）

面白いポイントは Gitがライナス ° トーバルズさんがクリエイトしたもんだ。（日本語字幕 TEDのインタビュー）

次はGitHubで「フォーク」をする作業学びました。フォークというアイコンをクリックして、Git クローンのリンクを「Git bash」のターミナルの中でコピペとができた。

今日学んだコマンド：

cd foldername
mkdir newfoldername
touch newfilename
rm filename
git clone
git status
git add filename
git commit -m (commit with inline message. this save the changes in the history of this repo.)
git push
clear
exit (logout)

このYouTubeのビデオで Gitについていっぱい学んだことができた。ちょっと長かったけど。

明日はHMTLとCSS,楽しみにしている。。。

Lambda School free minibootcamp! 3-week class https://lambdaschool.com/

All in English.

First, everyone who hadn’t already done so created a new GitHub account. Then we downloaded Git from gitforwindows.org / https://git-scm.com

interestingly, Git was created by Linus Torvalds (which I had heard during his 2016 TED interview (JP subtitles available): https://www.ted.com/talks/linus_torvalds_the_mind_behind_linux )

Learning how to “fork” came next. By clicking fork icon, then get clone, and copying the clone URL to clipboard.

Next in GitBash, cd into the place where you want the newly cloned repository to be placed. At the prompt, we type “git clone” and paste the link, then Enter.

Inside the folder containing the repo, use the ‘git status’ command, which compares the original to your new fork. Git is constantly watching this folder for any changes.

The commands we learned today:

cd foldername

mkdir newfoldername

touch newfilename

rm filename

git clone

git status

git add filename

git commit -m (commit with inline message. This saves the changes in the history of this repo.)

git push

clear

exit (logout)

Looking forward to tomorrow — HTML and CSS!

Google音声入力(voice input) で句読文字(punctuation marks)ができないけど。。。

This time I’m posting in English because I think this will only be useful for Japanese-as-a-second-language folks. So I often use the Google app for drafting texts/email by voice in Japanese. This is because I’m much better at speaking than writing in Japanese. But Google doesn’t have any speech punctuation like it does in English. For example, if Ⅰ’m dictating a text message in English and I’m ending an interrogative sentence I say, “question mark” and the correct punctuation appears. But in Japanese, if I say “hatena” into the microphone, Google prints the word, 「はてな」which is really annoying. So I usually dictate the entire message and then go back and hunt through it to add the missing brackets, commas, periods, and question marks.

I found this lovely blog post (http://nakamahalog.com) which explains how to use the Swype app as an ok workaround.

Swype keyboard with Star Trek skin. The microphone icon is a communicator.

BUT Swype wants a lot of permissions. I just switched off everything except Microphone. And I keep rotating my default keyboard in Settings, because they are basically tricky little keyloggers in my humble opinion.

The other problem was, I was saying the wrong words like “chon” for a period. nakamahalog also provides this handy chart of what to call all the punctuation marks when using Swype (and probably Google, whenever they get around to this functionality). I took the liberty of adding the yomikata below:

Pythonプログラミングのような地形Udemy.com で

(Adapted from the original English post at https://studiozandra.com/tech-tangent-python-on-linux-here-we-go/ )

子供の時に本いっぱい読んで将来に学科になるつもりだった。高校に入ると美術にしたけど、まだ掌篇小説(しょうへんしょうせつ)や詩を書いていた。いろんな興味がいっぱいありすぎてしまった!

テクノロジーについてを読むのが大好き。最近 Python というプログラミング言語を学ぼうとしてる。ブートキャンプのような地形は高すぎてできないのでオンラインをコースを受けている。Udemy.com で “Complete Python Bootcamp: Go from Zero to Hero in Python” と言うコース 9.99ドル登録することができた。

Udemy パイソン　コース

本気でやらないと思ってしまって Windows じゃなくて Linux でやろうとした。それで一番最初の段階で困った。このコースの中でジュピターノートブック(Jupyter Notebooks) という Web サービスをよく使うので、インストールしないといけなかった。アナコンダというツールを使って、ジュピターと Python 両方でインストールできて便利です。そして Jupyter.org に行ってファイルをダウンロードしてダブルクリックした。けどこういう赤い色のエラーが出てしまった。

問題は Linux ちゃんは text editor でそのファイルを開こうとしてた。ウェブ検索してからスタックエクスチェンジ stackexchange で正しい仕方を学んだ。

.sh ファイルをターミナル(terminal)の中そのダウンロードしたダイレクトリーに行って chmod のコマンドをしないといけない。

それが終わってから新しいターミナルを開いてjupyter notebook を書くと、ブラウザタブが自動的に出て自分の全部のローカルフォルダ見るようになった。

Python でコマンドを書いて Shift+Enter 起こしてすぐランができる。

もう一度日本語でブログ

ちょっと年取ったり違う国に住んだり違う仕事をしている状態になってるけどまだ日本語で遊んでいる。今ハワイに住んでるので日本語を使う経験はすごい増やした。話すのはあまり問題ないけど帰ったり読んだりするのがまだ難しいですのでもうちょっと練習しなきゃいけないと思った。日本語の辞典ウェブサイトとアプリ。。。

PART 2: Symantec エンクリプション・デスクトップHDDをリカバーする

既にインストールができた . 次は public キーと secret キーインポートする。

セットアップアシスタントというウィザードの窓の左側を見たら、ユーザータイプと言う部分がある。

そこでニューユーザーじゃなくて、 existing keys を選んだ。プロンプトの流れで .pkr と .skr ファイルのフォルダーを選んだ。

そして彼女の古いハードドライブを S ATA ケーブルで繋いだから「enter passphrase to access disk」っていうメッセージが出た。私は視線をそらしながら彼女がパスワードを入れてそのHDのホールダが段々出てきた!!🙌

~fin~
English post at Symantec Connect Forums:
This community for the most part already knows that Symantec PGP Desktop was replaced by Symantec Encryption Desktop, but to someone encountering this software for the first time, this is not obvious. Clicking a Symantec Trialware link, the very next page is a registration form, and then a download for Symantec Endpoint Encryption TW. So as a layperson, I assume that the old PGP product name was changed to SEE, click “download,” and struggle to install the thing. After finally installing .NET, the dependent SEE Mgr and MSI, then the Client in serverless mode, I hit a brick wall. Going back to the forums it was dawning that NONE of the 3 packages I’d downloaded was the right one. Another commenter had posted the correct link and I finally downloaded the SED trialware but it wouldn’t execute, and so I posted the previous questions.

Meantime I started looking into other workarounds, wondering, “Is Symantec PGP Desktop proprietary encryption? Or, as long as I have the keys and passphrase, can I use any software on any platform to decrypt?” I read the Wikipedia entry on PGP and confirmed I’d gotten the software names confused (easy to do!)

I did another Google search regarding the SED installer which would not open: I think the registry might have been corrupted by the brute uninstall of the SEE Client, so I tried 64-bit on a different laptop and it opened and installed fine!
Then there was the problem of the license key…
At first, like these commentors, I thought there was no way to activate using the product key I received in my trial email.
The “thank you for trying SEE (confusing wrong product name again)” email sends a temporary product key that is too long to fit in the allotted spaces. A video instructionn said to paste the whole thing, but I was on a separate machine from my email, so I just typed. But it worked — just cut the key in half and copy the latter half of digits only. (They email you a 12-segmented license key, but only use the last 6 segments.)

After installing and licensing, in the User Type section don’t select New User. Rather, select Existing Key option. Then follow the prompts to browse to the directory containing your original .pkr and .skr files. We plugged in the old HD with a SATA USB cable and a pop-up appeared “Enter passphrase”. So we were able to recover all her data.

(In case anyone else comes across this same situation — that is, having keys and passphrase but cannot get an old copy of PGP Desktop or a working trial copy of SED — try looking into other software, such as GPG Suite (Mac) or GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG, Linux) for recovery. See this discussion: https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/discussions/problems/964-migrating-from-pgp-to-gpg-import-private-key

and this https://www.dewinter.com/gnupg_howto/english/GPGMiniHowto.html#toc3.3 (Import key, no graphical interface though)

Maybe even try to import the key into the old PGP Desktop for Windows? **I cannot vouch for this site bc I haven’t tried it!** https://pgp.en.softonic.com/?ex=DSK-347.2

Perhaps someone more knowledgeable could comment on this ‘decrypt by importing keys into other software’ option.)

Yes, I’m sewing!

So “vents” are apparently slits. By process of elimination and also by process of tearing out my hair for hours, I’ve deciphered my first garment pattern.

Special thanks to YouTube and the rest of the interwebs for helping me unlock the jargon of “Simplicity” New Look 6312.

Ok, I admit, I chose the wrong pattern for my first project, what a newbie, indeed! But it came out not too shabbily!

Next I made not one, but TWO little zipper pouches. Again, YouTube gets my gratitude and praise: The Crafty Gemini has some great tutorials.

tmp_30304-20170204_181627-1773062498 — My first zippered pouch, made using my own fabric design as well (Koi Pond)

tmp_30304-20170206_084532-1551846038 — Second pouch, made with fusible this time instead of quilting

What to make next? I have a few precious swatches of my own Spoonflower designs, but they are on the smallish side. The tutorial hunt begins anew!

Taniku shokubutsu

Taniku shokubutsu, or “spoiled child”, according to Weblio‘s definition of the word “succulents” in Japanese:

I guess a spoiled child would probably be ta-niku (have plenty of meat)!

I had absolutely no IDEA about the succulent-verse online until I photographed the adorable little things as I was walking one day. Peeps are real serious about these plump plants! Using the PRISMA app, I made a colorful fabric pattern out of some little succies I photographed while walking near Date Street in Honolulu, HI.

Then using the Prisma app on my phone, I applied different filters to the photo:

Then I took a screenshot of my phone and opened it in Photoshop (CS5, version 12.0). You can also save the photo or e-mail it to yourself. (Prisma cropped my photo so I had to run it twice, once on each side of the photo.)

After cropping out the phone stuff and the app, I aligned and joined the 2 halves of the photo together into 1 layer. Then I made a backup, duplicate of the entire layer and turned it off, just in case I messed up later.

Next I used the Lasso tool to duplicate a few flowers. I just traced around the edges of a flower and Copied as New Layer a few times, until I had a few extra flowers to be used later as ‘filler’.

Then I used the Offset filter (select menu Filter>Other>Offset) to turn the picture into a repeat with four corners.

repeat using offset filter — Offset filter applied. Now just gotta fill in the center area with some filler flowers.

Using my new flower copies, I filled in the blank space in the center where the four corners meet. Then I used the Smudge tool to blend the four corners together.

I think it came out pretty well, don’t you?

Artistic Process – Where Cool Pillows Come From

I grew a few gray hairs creating this Cosmic Damask fabric pattern, but it was way worth it! From pencil sketches, scanning, and then repeat process. You’ll need some tracing paper for this, unless you prefer using a drawing app with a digital stylus.

First, I scoured the web for a nice old damask pattern. Here’s what a quick search might turn up — almost any of these will do the trick:

Now print out the damask pattern you just found. Print on regular paper, in a size that is easy for tracing.

Lay the tracing paper over the damask printout. Now this is where your artistic vision and skill come in! Think of a theme and start filling in the damask area with your own doodles, like mine below:

You can scan the tracing paper and continue to work on it in your photo editor software.

Or, you can do a repeat pattern by hand on paper, old school style. (madamchino on Instagram)
