Compile Error

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!!!

ALMOST... THERE... Haha, can't tell if you noticed, but I'm incredibly eager for summer vacation. Who doesn't want more time to work on coding projects and writing projects and go camping? And maybe, just maybe, become an actual *choir music plays* programmer?  *choir music stops* Okay, but seriously. I have not yet shed the title of NoOb, and that is something that it on my list of To Accomplish Someday Preferably Soon. I want to be a real programmer. The problem? I... I don't really know. But right now I'm kind of slow, and one thing is a huge problem for me: coding under pressure.  Which is a huge problem considering that coding interviews call for coding under pressure, and since I want to be a software engineer that's a real problem.  But, anyway, I still have some time left.  Maybe in summer I'll get better? Anyway, I know this post is a little off topic, but so far nobody is reading this blog and would probably only read this in an archive.  Comment d...

I CAN'T FIND A MAC ISO FILE. There. I said it. This is the reason for a lot of my problems.  This file is crucial for a regular VirtualBox virtual machine, which is what I'm trying to make because I don't have a Mac. And I don't have money to buy a Mac.  Except that every possible not-as-sketchy option I have taken has failed. Qemu virtualization? Failed. Some random git repository? It's supposed to be run on Windows or Mac and I'm not putting that thing in my personal PC in case it's part virus though I scanned it multiple times with an antivirus. How about a virtual windows 8.1 PC? GUESS WHAT. I CAN'T PUT FILES IN IT LIKE THIS. (Also it's INCREDIBLY slow.) So yeah. Maybe I'll just find some money and somehow buy a Mac. (I'm a student so I don't have that kind of money bruh.)

Hey guys! You read the title: I've recently gone through the Windows 10 update, to update my OS from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. And from the title, you probably deduced that it didn't go as smoothly as planned.  First of all, it failed like 6 times. There. That's what was incredibly annoying. I kept changing things like disabling services and start-up services. Nothing.  I even went on safe mode or something and used the cmd. Still nothing. So, here's the thing: I followed this article on Microsoft forums and it worked. (I think the tool was trying to do something with the drivers?... idk.) Anyway, now it works, and I've got Windows 10 on my computer! (Now I can download Minecraft bedrock... Tehehe...) Also I made a virtual machine on my Linux computer for Windows 8.1 because I'm sentimental. Here 's the article if you're interested.

Hey all, Since the last blog post I've published two YouTube videos, played with Arduino, and managed to fix that Python project mentioned before in the previous blog post (the problem was I was trying to fix the wrong line of code, oops.) Anyway, now I've got a Tkinter version of Tic Tac Toe on my computer that entirely relies on the user to check for cheating.  But enough of that. I'm still working on the Tic Tac Toe project, but now that I see the previous blog post, I see that I still have to get around to doing that possible chess project in unity. With my level of learning, it sounds impossible, however, but it will probably be a good experience.  Perhaps a Roblox game?

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... ED...

FINALLY.  After many attempts, after many tries, I have successfully made a virtual machine for Kali Linux. And it installed! The one thing I did different this time: I allocated more storage space to the virtual machine. This allowed it to install properly.  Now, I'm attempting to do the same thing for Parrot OS. The internet said it needed around 16 gigs of storage, but I gave it around 20 just in case.  BUT IT WORKS!!!! (At least for Kali Linux.) Good thing I'm doing this on another computer besides my main one. It'd suck up my storage space. EDIT: It's not 5:50 PM and it turns out the Parrot OS thing wouldn't work no matter what I tried so far. I'm trying for the third time right now. (It keeps freezing up at "select and install software." If this doesn't work I'll try to skip the step and move on to the Grub boot loader. If that doesn't work either I'll try another one of the two other Parrot OS versions I downloaded.) EDIT: It...
