Amazon Development With Unity Is HARD

Two hours.

TWO HOURS.

I spent two hours today on a project that, ironically, didn't even end up working. I kept exporting my Sir Hamster project (watch about that on my latest youtube video here) to Android TV for the Fire TV and it did not even work. 

Not.

Even. 

Once. 

I checked GitHub, and from what I can see a lot of other people have the same problem as me. When I started exporting the project multiple times to GitHub to another computer so that I can use the adb (android debug bridge) to export it again to the TV. And, as I said before multiple times, it never worked. 

Like a wise person told me twice today in an attempt to console me, it's also the process that's fun. Still feels annoying, though. At least I have a blog to rant about it on.

But yeah, this is a personal challenge for me, and it probably doesn't really help that I barely know what in da world am I doing.

Probably I'll abandon this for a while and start another project. I've got to polish the Sir Hamster game a lot already, anyway.

Where I've Been

Hey guys! Sorry for ghosting you all. (Even though literally no one reads this blog.) I've been busy with school and such things. Anyway, I've expanded my interest to include Linux and networking. I've also been taking apart old electronics, so I would say that I've been leaning more toward the hardware side of things lately.  Anyway, I'm a week away from finishing Python in Motion, an online course offered by Carleton University. Though I'm eager to receive my certificate, it was great going through that course, and I learned quite a bit.  Anyway, I'm hoping to start blogging about my projects soon. I'm a jack-of-all-trades, so it's a little hard to stick with one for long since I have a whole plethora of interests.

Dual Booting Ubuntu and Kali Linux

Remember that blog post I made about virtual machines? Well, turns out that wasn't enough.  Now I'm trying to dual-boot it. And for some reason, it's failing at the software selection like last time. Ugh.  (Later) Okay. So I deselected both the "Top 10 tools" and the "default tools" and now it works. Now I will have to install them manually but at least it's installing. Now I just hope that the boot loader will load when I turn it on like in Carleton University.  Oh, yeah. I have summer camp tomorrow.  (Later)  I just installed the GRUB boot loader so that I can choose OSes at the beginning, and had to choose my primary drive. I hope I chose the right one... There were only two options, and the other looked like my USB drive. (Later) It's booting into Ubuntu right now. Kali works and I hope that I didn't break Ubuntu. It's taking a long time to load. Oh, look, it just loaded, and my user shows up.  (FINALLY, AT THE END) It works!!!

Virtual Machines -- Part 2

Yesterday I left my computer running overnight in my second or maybe third attempt at installing Parrot OS on a virtual computer. The thing is, when I came this morning, it had failed. Again. So after trying like one or two more times, I gave up and downloaded another version: the security version, since I was using the cloud version or something. This time, it not only booted up but went through the entire installation smoothly. Then, in the end, it said to restart the device to reload it. So I did. And now, it asks me to install it again. This blog wasn't originally meant for ranting, but that's all that I seem to be doing nowadays. Nothing seems to be working. I think that the last thing linux installation-related thing that actually worked was the installation of Ubuntu natively on an old computer. And that was after  I tried hacking into it for hours with the command prompt. The installation is currently at 6% and I'm trying not to pull my hair. EDIT: The installation
