Work in Progress
As a work in progress this should be along with quite a few other posts here in my _drafts folder. However, for this one, I remote access to its current state for other project I have going on. (I have no excuse for the myriad of other unfinished drafts in my _posts directory but I do have hopes that I’ll get around to them - It’s just that greedy habit of mine to prioritize learning and experience over sharing and teaching. I love ‘em all but time only permits about the top 1.5 ~ 2% of...…

R on Jupyter
Trying to setup an environment with an R kernel via conda for use with a Jupyter Notebook I ran into a problem that all but stopped me from progressing. Normally a few permutations of a decent google-ing would suffice but not tonight. Merging a few new technology I was very interested in with one a love dearly, I knew I was just over my head but my fascination with the problem combined with an incredible lack of patience to sit through a drawn out forum conversation or GitHub request - of which there were already multiple making no progress. …

Python Basics
Every programming language has specific words and rules for using them which we call syntax. Some languages also have rules about how the code should look. Python has both of these!
Blocks, Variables and Functions
- Blocks
- sections of code that are related - such as a function or a loop.
- Blocks are indented one extra step.

The most important purpose this report served, however, was in making sure our company owners never received a surprise call from a client.
This tool had two types of users. The most common user was account and project manager. This user would employ the...…

Steve and Lori Acosta Wedding
I had such a wonderful time at my father, Steve Acosta’s, and mother, Lori Acosta’s, wedding. Thank you to all the family and friends who came out to participate and be a part of that memory for me - well I doubt any of you came out for me but I certainly enjoyed the experience all-the-same.
As with all beautiful days brimming with heartening nostalgic goodness, the worst - if only bad - part of such wonder is the haste with which it all slips from between the fingers on the hands of experience...…

Internet of Me by Jerad Acosta
A place to reference, recite, rinse and repeat my efforts, failures, thoughts and progress, delusions and regressions, but mostly a sandbox for whoever I am at the moment. Perhaps I'll occasionally enjoy the reminiscing with the castles or taking census of the endless games of tic-tac-toe etched in my box.
