Alright, so I was trying to figure out this “chris nor” thing. Sounds kinda techy, right? Well, I started by just messing around, seeing what’s what. I’ve got this Chromebook, which is pretty straightforward to set up. Honestly, setting it up was a piece of cake, even for a first-timer like me. No sweat there.
Next, I thought, “Let’s get into some coding.” I’d heard about this GitHub place, so I made an account. It’s supposed to help you build and ship software, so I figured, why not give it a shot? It’s not too hard to get an account, and you can explore products and stuff.
Then, just for kicks, I started playing with this thing called a Raspberry Pi. It’s like a tiny computer. Found some guides online, nothing fancy. The one I got was a Raspberry Pi 4, and I just followed some “Getting Started” tips. Man, there’s a bunch of stuff about “Dd Bs Illegal Numeric Value” tags, but I didn’t get into that.
After that, I stumbled upon something called Godot. It’s like, for making games or something. I followed an intro guide, learned about these “nodes” and “scenes.” It’s pretty cool. I even wrote some simple code with something called GDScript. Feels like baby steps, but hey, it’s progress!
Oh, and I also went through some QuickBooks tutorials, just to see what that’s all about. It’s all about accounting and numbers, which, honestly, isn’t my strong suit, but I gave it a look.
My buddy Alex asked me about this note-taking app, Obsidian. I told him the best way to learn is just to dive in, download the thing, and start writing. It won’t be a walk in the park at first, but you’ll get the hang of it.
So, that’s basically what I did with this “chris nor” thing. Just a bunch of tinkering, trying out different stuff. I guess my background is more in writing and editing, especially about money and finance. I did study engineering way back when, but these days I just write about economics and technical analysis.
Here’s a quick rundown of what I actually did:
- Set up: Got my Chromebook up and running. It was a no-brainer.
- Explored: Created a GitHub account to check out some software development stuff.
- Played: Messed around with a Raspberry Pi 4, following some basic setup guides.
- Learned: Started with an introduction to Godot, writing some simple code with GDScript.
- Checked out: Browsed through some QuickBooks tutorials to understand the basics of accounting.
- Helped: I gave Alex advice on how to use Obsidian for note-taking.
In the end, this whole “chris nor” thing led me down a rabbit hole of random tech stuff. It wasn’t exactly what I expected, but hey, I learned a few new things along the way. And that’s about it. It is all what I got from this. Not a big deal, but it was an interesting little adventure.
