What Am I Gonna Do Now? How About Break My Brain.

Hey all.

Now that I have finished my quest to get Parrot OS on a virtual box on my Linux computer, I need something else to work on. I tried making an old Arduino idea on TinkerCAD but it didn't work, and now I decided to shoot for a more easily attainable idea. 

I have a whole list of project ideas, but none of them seem to be appealing to me. Perhaps I can try to make another Android app or could try to fix my failed Tkinter version of tic tac toe (I can't seem to get the reload function right.)

Another option is to continue what I was doing in the past and try my hand at bash scripting, but I kinda fell out of that. The best thing I actually made was a program that switched drives on Git Bash on my windows laptop.

Like I might have said earlier, this blog wasn't originally meant for ranting but that's all I seem to do nowadays. If you have any ideas, feel free to comment them down below! 

EDIT: Does a chess game seem too extreme? Maybe not if I make it in Unity...

EDIT: I just came back from attempting to use MS Acess Databases with Python. It didn't go well and didn't work, probably because I was trying to use 32-bit drivers with 64-bit Python.

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
