onyx, a journey through code

Programming is my primary interest but Linux server administation is another. I find webhooks a valuable way of keeping up to date and more recently a convenient way to receive updates from Github.

As mentioned in the previous post Voicemeeter Accessibility for the Blind I chose to work with PySimpleGUI when developing the NVDA Voicemeeter application.

Voicemeeter is an excellent application for those who can navigate it with ease, however, for those with accessibility needs it can be a very frustrating experience. I know this for sure having spoken to a number of visually impaired users.

Let's Go by Alex Edwards is a highly praised and well regarded book in the Go community so I had to pick it up.

As noted in the Prequisites section some knowledge of Go's basic syntax, HTML/CSS, SQL and terminal use makes the book a more fluid experience.

Voicemeeter has for a long time been an excellent option in the Windows audio space. For new users, especially those unfamiliar with audio mixers there is a learning curve.

Sadly, it's a common fact of life that some people have little better to do than try and ruin other peoples fun. An example of this, an old friend of mine asked me to throw up and configure some Linux servers for him. After a while I noticed some unusual behaviour on one of them, turned out to be a DDOS.

So today I started reading Head First HTML/CSS ver2. The book begins by showing you how to create simple HTML files and loading them into a web browser. At chapter 4 it directs you to move your files onto a webserver.
