Notes about the IO language based on the excercises in Seven Languages in Seven Weeks
A long time ago, I bought the book “Seven Languages in Seven Weeks” by Bruce A. Tate. I’ve flipped through it, but until now, I hadn’t tried the self-study sections.
I’m tracking my progress in the SevenLangsInSevenWeeks GitHub repository.
It has been a thing to place disposable cameras on each tables at parties such as wedings. It enables the guests of the party to take snapshots of events.
We had such an event coming up - and I wanted to replicate this with the natural twist of using the guests’ own phones.
I never really settle on how to do my notes. Recently, I’ve been using LoqSeq - but I’ve decided to go with Obsidian. Both are based on Markdown files as their ‘data’ storage format which makes it relatively easy to make the switch.

I do like to use Microsoft Edge as my main browser. I use one profile for work and one for personal things. I’ve changed a couple of settings to better fit my way of working
Up until now I had a Set-Location
statement in my Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1
startup file that set my in the
directory above all my work related folders. However, that did not work well with Visual Studio Codes build step as it
runs with the standard terminal. Asking CoPilot I got the following (working) solution
if (-not $env:TERM_PROGRAM -eq "vscode") {
Set-Location (Get-CanonicalCasePath c:\myprojectsfolder)
}
I’m considering turning more of my customizations off to improve on the startup time.
In order to reduce costs I have moved the site from an www.one.com to an Azure Static Web Site which offers free hosting. As the site is fully static already I do not need the PHP and DB stuff that comes with a hosting plan on www.one.com.

The Khan Academy (link) was a pioneer in online learning. However, online learning really picked up speed in 2011 when a number of Stanford professors started a number of freely available online classes.
