Kelly has decided she wants to start drawing her comic strip again as she has time. You can see an example of what she did before at the bottom of this post. She is going to do something different now, but plans to do a four panel strip like before. I wrote up some code to accumulate the hand draw single panels, add titles, copyright notices, borders, etc, and then post the results to our website. I could easily dust off the old code and use it again for her current efforts, but have decided to try to rewrite it as a way to improve some new skills on which I am working.
The idea will be to write a series of blog posts on how to set up an environment to write low level code that needs to go fast in C++ and the GUI and everything else in Python. I plan to talk about how I use Qt Creator, OpenCV, SWIG, PyCharm, PySide, some batch files, and a merge tool to automate this and make it easier. I am at the beginning of another series called Our Homeschool Story that I will also continue, but this is a very different thing that will provide some variety. I hope to start sometime over Christmas break.

Sounds interesting! Have an excellent Christmas break with your family.
Wow, Been a long time since I’ve been in here. Good to read again of your activities, though I’ll never catch up. Super to see Kelly & Christian in AZ SpMtgs.
Also, nice to see you’re single spacing in your writings now. 🙂 When did you make the break? Greetings from one of your future vacation spots!
Thanks Gene! I am looking forward to this.
Kelly and Christian were ecstatic to see you Jon. They are truly amazed with our friends in both Arizona and Washington. As for the single spacing, I kind of got shamed into it by a Chilean friend of mind, but I am thinking of going retro again–it kind of sets me apart in a subtle way that only the truly aware would ever notice!
Ha, I just got back here today and read this reply, Ken! So, I can see where at times getting shamed into something can be good. I won’t hound you anymore with the reasons, though here are more, ha. #nevergoback
