Pike programming language

Pike is another programming language I downloaded and installed on my computer. Maybe I needed my download manager taken away so that I could not download any more programming languages.  It might have helped.

The farthest I got with pike was probably writing a hello world program. I did think that name of the programming language was neat. Pike. What a name. Sounds cool to me.

Its a shame I never wrote any programs with it. Oh, well.

 

Nim programming language

when I tried Nim it was called nimrod. I liked the name Nimrod so I downloaded and installed the programming language to my computer.

programming languages are like the cereal isle at the supermarket. I want to try a new cereal type every time. It used to be a week with a programming language and then I wanted to try another programming language.

I did not do much with nimrod. I looked at some documentation. Probably wrote a hello world program. Then forgot about Nimrod. So sad.

High level Assembly

I have used high level assembly a little. I read several chapters of the art of assembly language programming 

I am not ashamed to admit it. Assembly language programming gets me excited. Learning about registers so fun. I never did write anything in assembly.  I read the book for awhile. I even installed an IDE and then one day I quit reading the book.

I enjoy learning about hardware even though I am not sure that I like computers that much.

Oh, that reminds me I did make my way through a copy of Upgrading and repairing PCs. It was an edition from 1995 or so. I enjoyed reading about computer hardware though I did not understand everything.

So maybe one day I will make a program in assembly language. Or I won’t.

I am going to write about a programming

language I tried. I read about it on a website and so I thought I want to try it. The language is called open object Rexx 

I installed it on my computer. Then I downloaded documentation. And I read a few pages of documentation. I probably worked with open object Rexx for about a week and then never used it again.

I am sure it would have been fun to make a program in open object rexx. I never made one. Maybe one day I will. Though I doubt it.

With programing I wanted to

be an expert an expert at every programming language that has ever existed. Even though there is no way I would ever figure out how to install those languages on my computer. Or even have enough time to wrote code in all those languages.

It seemed so fun to want to try every programming language. I came up significantly short of my goal of trying every programming language. Maybe I tried ten. And in those I got as far as making a program that said hello world.

The whole point of learn to program was so I could become a star on github. And I can’t do that if I only know how to make a program that prints hello world to the console. OK, I did not want to program so I could be  star on github.

I did want to make my own programs that one day a person might use. That is going to be my goal. I want to make a program that one day one person will use. I only need one person to use a program that I create.

All I need is to create a program. Its a tough task and I probably wont do it but, it will make me feel good for the rest of the day. Then tomorrow I will feel bad because I know in my heart that no one will ever use a program I create. And I can’t blame them. I wouldn’t either.

I have read about 4 chapters of

How to design programs, second edition. I want to make my way through the entire book. I have not read the book in some time. If I do ever start reading it again I might have to start from the beginning. Or maybe I remember what I already learned from the book. Or I could take a quick look through what I already read as a refresher.

using Dr Racket is fun. I enjoyed the exercises I did. Most of the time when I first looked at an exercises I had no idea how to solve it. So I would sleep on it. And most of the time the next day or two I would have the answer. That is so fun solving a problem that I never thought I could solve.

Maybe one day I will read thought the entire book. If I never finish it at least I read some of the book. I hope to make my own programs with DR racket. Or maybe I won’t. Who knows?

Writing tests in Dr. scheme and have them pass is also fun. Yes, indeed.

One thing I want to learn is

machine learning with python or pharo, or javascript, or java. I thought it would be fun to have the computer come up with the lyrics to my songs or even the notes to my songs.

I have not done much machine learning programming yet and I may never. It is one thing I want to do with programming though. It seems so fun. I don’t know if am capable of doing it though. I hope I am. Wish me luck. Or don’t. It does not matter to me.

I want to used Kaggle to learn and program machine learning programs and enter competitions. I leaned about the website from machine learning for dummies.

At this time I want to

learn Html, css, and javascipt so I can put up a website. I have made a simple website and put it up on geocities a long time ago. But, now all I have is blogs. And I want to learn to code my own website.

When I got a computer I wanted to learn to program so that is what I am going to do. SO I figured I might as well start with HTML, CSS, And Javascript. I don’t go to that may websites but, I am going to make a website.

It takes me year to do things. It took me years to make music with Lmms. It took me years to make art with blender. And it has taken me years to make programs. At least I keep at things.

I have thought about programming

for years and then I never do anything. What I need to do is get something finished even if its not good. If I want to make programs I have got to make programs.

If I don’t program how can I be a programmer. Programmers design and write computer code. And that is what I want to do. So now I have got to take action and make a program. I can do it I hope. I am sure this is not the first post where I have written that I want to program but, never program.

I am also interested in computer security

I am not sure that the internet or computer are the greatest things in the world. I do want to learn how secure computer, and about computer security.

Its interesting to me how hackers hack websites.  How do I protect against that? It seems like a fun be able to protect people on the internet.Make the internet safer.

It makes me upset thinking about all the time I have wasted on the internet. I used to read about sports on the internet. I might as well subscribe to a sports magazine or news paper.

I want to use a computer to do something useful or do something else. There is more to life than a computer and the internet. There are so many things to do in life.

And to me computer security seems like a good use of my time on a computer.
