Hey everyone, So I wanted to learn a new language to add to my tool-belt and after long consideration, I decided on Golang. There were a few reasons for this but, the base reason is because I wanted to get into API developing and I thought Go would be good to learn. Go and Python have several similarities so it took a bit but, I followed guides and the training provided by Go and wanted to show a small project that I was able to do. ...
Hey guys, It’s been a while since my last post and there are several things to blame for that but, to keep it short, life has a way of ebbing and flowing with business. I’m back though, and for my first post back, I wanted to talk a bit about what I have been tinkering with. The first project I wanted to talk about was Gitlab Pipelines. I don’t normally use Gitlab for much but, there are uses for it and I wanted to take a foray into some pipelines in Gitlab. ...
Hey everyone, So recently I talked about the Git plug for Silverbullet and backing up my notes into Github.

The libraries I used for this are ...

In order to do both of these, I needed the bot.event to be set on member join. Easy enough with @bot.event async def on_member_join(member): Next I needed the bot to pull the Channel ID for the #general chat. When I got that, all I needed to do ...
So I’ve been tinkering a bit with my Discord bot and recently got a request to add functionality to know how long someone has been in the Discord and associating it with a rank. Not too bad of an ask. I opened by Discord bot script I had been working on and got to work. The first thing I needed to add was a bot.event to listen for the set of words to trigger the action. ...
Hey guys, So today I wanted to start off a new set of posts revolved around coding. I was thinking about what kind of project I wanted to work on and I thought, I’ve already done the pipeline series that featured a Discord bot, why not that.
