End of year resolutions

Not really, but sorta.

I finally figured out, ten years late in my career, that I need brush up on theory and just do side projects. Even if I'm no good at it.

Starting with coding up data structures and algorithms. In C++.

This past week, I did a basic doubly linked list (at least, I think... I'll need to check it against what I find in Google) and then will do a queue and stack, derived from the linked list. I'll also start binary search tree this week.

I've also begun reading up on Java 7 and need to start a project with it.

Compiling pgmodeler on Yosemite (with Homebrew)

Refer to  pgmodeler installation . Steps: Clone the pgmodeler git repo. Use Homebrew to install qt5 (5.4.2, see here ), libxml2, and postgresql. Edit the pgmodeler.pri (not .pro) file and change these variables: PGSQL_LIB = /usr/local/opt/postgresql/lib/libpq.dylib PGSQL_INC = /usr/local/opt/postgresql/include XML_INC = /usr/local/opt/libxml2/include/libxml2 XML_LIB = /usr/local/opt/libxml2/lib/libxml2.dylib Follow instructions to compile pgmodeler (you might need to put Qt's binaries in your PATH. I was lazy and didn't). $ /usr/local/opt/qt5/bin/qmake pgmodeler.pro $ make $ make install $ cd /Applications $ /usr/local/opt/qt5/bin/macdeployqt pgmodeler.app -executable=pgmodeler.app/Contents/MacOS/pgmodeler-ch -executable=pgmodeler.app/Contents/MacOS/pgmodeler-cli Then I was able to do $ open pgmodeler.app

pgmodeler build in Debian Jessie

This is my qmake version: $ qmake -v QMake version 3.0 Using Qt version 5.3.2 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu I had to edit linuxdeploy.sh: 1. Add "-makefile" to the QMAKE_ARGS variable: $ qmake -h Usage: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qmake [mode] [options] [files] where mode is either "-makefile" (default) or "-project" QMAKE_ARGS="-makefile -r -spec linux-clang" 2. Right before "Running qmake...", I added another line to include pgmodeler.pro in the qmake invocation: QMAKE_ARGS="$QMAKE_ARGS pgmodeler.pro" Then I ran ./linuxdeploy.sh -no-qt-libs (https://github.com/pgmodeler/pgmodeler/issues/674)

The end of summer

It's been a wild year. Gains and losses. COVID-19 and the shelter in place. Lately, fires. Today was a very dark day, literally. For about half the daylight hours, there was so much ash in the air that it looked like it was close to sunset, but it was definitely not anywhere near as beautiful. Red sun following us everywhere. Bubonic plague found on fleas in Lake Tahoe. The list goes on and on. Everyone is tired. Exhausted. Burnt out. There is no respite, just a new normal that seems like an even steeper climb than before. Sleep gives way to another day with no refreshment. Yes, that's how things seem. But there have also been bright moments. Time spent with family, especially with the little one. Growing and nurturing plants, building things, trying new recipes, going to the store to shop for dinner, reading books, coloring with crayons... We grow closer together, weaving together a blanket of love and memories that we wrap ourselves in.
