Happy #AGDQ2026!! I’m most excited for the Pokémon Legends: Z-A run by @zypotic.bsky.social tomorrow. Can’t wait to see all of the awesome runners in support of such a great cause! 😋💙💙

Hehe reading through the Dungeons & Dragons 2024 Player’s Handbook, and there is just a beautifully typeset ampersand in the info boxes.

Introducing 🐦 Pattern Pigeon: A conversational assistant built with Google Cloud's #DialogflowCX to teach software architecture design patterns! This was a lot of fun to create, and for a (probably) limited time you can even call it!

I’ve been researching Google Cloud's #DialogflowCX to build a conversational agent, and while looking into community-favored licenses, I was surprised to see so many repositories using the Apache License 2.0 over my go-to MIT—so I’m switching it up! Excited to share more soon 🐦💬

Longmont Dairy is still doing it along the Front Range!

On top of that, this marks repo #97/100 on @github.com! Might be time to consolidate and clean up some old repos, but it's a huge milestone for me! 🚀

That's it for now, take care!

It looks pretty ugly right now, but I've got React Bootstrap, React Icons, and @fontawesome.com icons (for the elusive @bsky.app icon) working!

Plus, setting up automatic builds on GitHub Pages was not bad at all.

#react #reacticons #bootstrap #reactbootstrap

Just dove headfirst into #nextjs and honestly? It's incredible. Probably the smoothest SSG generator I've ever used, and less quirky than some others!

Right now, I'm building the foundation for a team website for my project-based CS class: thatrobotdev.github.io/cs-2340-team... 😄

I’m on my bird arc lol. I just read The Snow Goose by Paul Gallico, and I learned some bird tidbits I wanted to share! 🪿

I don't want to chirp on for too long, so I'll catch you later. Happy hacking! 💻✨

Probably the easiest database, internationalization, and admin panel I've ever configured. I'm so excited to use it with future projects!

Finally, I've started learning #Django and #Python through their tutorial series (docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/intro...) for my objects and design course.

To change the to-peck, I've also been brushing up on #Java in my data structures course to implement an #ArrayList! My favorite part was building a test suite with #JUnits5, and it felt awesome to see a bunch of rigorously designed tests pass 😄

I’m having egret time diving deeper into #unity, learning #CSharp, #yarnspinner for branching dialogue, and #FMODStudio for dynamic audio. 𓅥

Please stay tuned for updates as the project develops!

All a-bird! I have some development updates to share and a new, exciting project! 🐦

This week, I joined the team at @vgdevgt.bsky.social as a programmer for Murder Most Fowl–an upcoming avian murder mystery puzzler set on a train! 🚂

This was my favorite game to play, what a cool concept. Good luck with the project!

We hope everyone had a good start to the semester! Our opening showcase for the spring semester is less than a week away.
Come to the Klaus Atrium next Monday, January 13th between 5:00-7:00 PM to play some student-made games and enjoy free pizza!

I'll be posting my progress on the progress log (www.jameskerrane.com/projects/one...), and adding new projects to my website as I continue building it 😄.

Take care, and I hope you have a great start to 2025!

This year, I want to learn how to write an efficient algorithm for how to solve the @oneshotgame.bsky.social Factory Light Puzzle, using the fundamentals of #informationtheory. Since I am unfamiliar with information theory and these types of problems, it's time to learn!
