I’m keeping this post on the down-low since my site is 99% about Python. Along the way, in order to better understand the underpinnings of Python (which was written in C as were other languages), I decided I need to learn enough C to be able to function the in the language. I’m taking a […]
C pointers structures and functions
Help!? SSL
There are some things I have a knack for and somethings I don’t. SSL is one of the things I don’t. If you do, and could find it in your heart to give me some very specific advice, I would appreciate it. You can email me at oakey.john@yahoo.com Here is my issue: SSL activated! Take […]

“The more I learn about C, the more I understand the fundamental underpinnings of Python” First, mea culpa. In an earlier post I had decided that in learning C in a Windows 10 environment, Microsoft VS was the way to go. Ultimately, with days of experience, I had to conclude VS does not work – […]
Where is my Switch?

Learning C/C++ for Arduino
You can’t go a long way as a maker with Raspberry Pi before you run into Arduino and realize how it can supplement, replace, modify or integrate with a maker experience. It would really be nice to program the Arduino in Python and this is supposed to be possible using an Arduino sketch called Firmata. […]

This little blog is to celebrate the discovery of two really nice guys in the same day. First a little context: I am pretty much a solo act. Python is one of my many interests. I use it for fun and forced intellectual stimulation. The site asks for feedback in a couple of spots but […]
