Welcome to Tupops' Corner!

I finally switched away from my Wordpress theme to straight HTML. This is temporary. I'll probably switch to React soon.

Mostly, I just wanted something that didn't take 30 seconds to load an empty about page.

I've been working on a few projects:

All projects are available on my GitHub.

• Project 1 - ACI Customs Document Creator

  This project uses ViteJS and Typescript. It simulates the process of creating a Customs Document for ACI. If interested, read more about it on my Github.

  Basic usage is:

  1. Select a shipment from the dropdown.
  2. Select Pars or InPars - InPars does the A8A, Pars doesn't so pick InPars to see all documents
  3. Select a port from the dropdown - this will fill in the Subport and Release (both for Pars and InPars)
  4. Manually enter the date/time. You can pick a date from the calendar

• Project 2 - 30 sites in 30 days

  This was me practicing Vanilla HTML/CSS. There is very little JavaScript if any. Of the 30 days, I finished 23. The reason for this project was to practice css grid. I like it better than flexbox, it seems more straightforward to me.

• Project 3 - ChessLens

  This project is in Java, mostly because I was originally going to work on a chess engine. I thought it might be more interesting (to me at least) to see how well AI could explain Stockfish Analysis. Google Gemini assured I should be able to get something that worked GREAT using llama3.1_8b - something I can run locally.

  Many hallucinations later, it was determined I needed something a little more powerful. Groq has a free version of llama 70b, so I eventually used that. It does ok explaining the moves, but I liked DeepSeek better. Mostly it's just included in case someone wants to try it. Compared to DecodeChess, it's very lacking.

• Project 4 - Demo E-commerce Store.

  Github repository

  I had a family member ask if I could create an e-commerce store for them (translation: family member = no payday). So I ask AI what stack could be ran for $0. Answer seems to be none if you actually want to sell anything, but if you aren't selling anything, this approach is the cheapest. It cost per transaction fee 2% and 2.9% + .30 processing fee (Stripe or Square).

  I really didn't put a lot of time into this. I used Flux with a super generic prompt to create the stickers. (Make a page of random animal stickers). Published the stickers, and set up store. And after I told the cost to family member, I was informed it would be cheaper for them to use Etsy. It was a fun little proof of concept though.

  The Stack. @Next.js + Sanity + Snipcart
