Just reached a thousand listed items in my eBay store 🙂 image

Got the script that generates eBay item drafts of the processed card pictures ready and it seems to work. Not sure if I can add more fields for the item specifics but this alone will save hours when I’m doing 100 cards at a time. 🙂 image

For some reason the primal app dumped all my relays in the last few days. Not sure why. Thankfully the restore defaults got it running again.

If you own a business or are a sole proprietor, how do you handle tracking your finances for planning and tax time?

Still working on the auto sorter but we’ve made progress 🙂 at least the most confident match is the actual card 😂 image

The kids had me generate coloring book pages for them. My son asked me to have a pet turkey eating with us so his doesn’t have a cooked turkey 😂

Today with Gemini 3 (Googles AI) I was able to get the image warping/homography working perfectly. Then the square cropping working perfectly. And then we ran into an issue with OCR (optical character recognition) to grab the names off cards so their processed pictures could be moved into folders. Luckily there’s another way to accomplish this, download pictures and json data for all the sets and compare my photos to them to identify the card and get the name that way. So I’m currently waiting for the library of card data to download and then we’ll move forward with automating identification. Once that’s all working I’ll begin working on having a script use all this organized data to create eBay drafts automatically (I hear it’s possible) and if not that, a csv list to import the data manually but still make all the drafts at once.

Just finished reading The Price of Tomorrow by @Jeff Booth. Very good book, and some of it a time capsule from when it was written. 😊

Gemini 3 was able to come up with a python script after a few back and forths of the console output/image outputs that could identify the rectangle of a Pokemon card and use it to straighten the image how I wanted. There’s still a small bug to fix but progress was made finally.

My new ai benchmark is “can it write a script that warps a photo of a Pokemon card to be flat”.

I find funny that most of the retail interfaces for bitcoin go down and the price recovers.

I think my next vibe coding project will be to make an app that helps me with my eBay listings. I want to be able to take all my pictures, put them in a folder, and the app automatically crops all the pictures, names the files, organizes them into folders… idk what else.

Little demo video of my Barrels vs. Humans game on Roblox

Reduced server sizes on the game so that if one bugs out the others will keep running. Found a few bugs I’m not sure how to fix/test aside from advertising the game. In one case the intermission never ended. In another the game time wasn’t working. Couldn’t find errors in the log

It costs 1 cent per play to get someone into your Roblox game. Crazy. 🤘

Finally have got my barrels vs humans game working. I think it’s playable enough that I can try advertising it again and seeing what new bugs show up lol

Switched from using codex to co-pilot because I am out of codex credits until Wednesday. It fixed a bug for me in half a minute. The bug was that if all members from one team quit the game wouldn’t end until the game timer ran down. Yay :)
