Saving images locally

 Done, done, done. Here's the way it works  Let's say you want to look at a sagging arm's skin.  So when you save them under the sagging skin condition, the pictures you upload will actually be saved in the machine you're using.Then, if you switch to a different machine, you save/export to a file. This file can be then be used to add the pictures to any other machine.  That way you can compare pictures on any other machine, you just import them in.  The drawback is this: when you import you'll need to make sure you've exported your latest pictures because the import replaces everything. Anyway, it works. A bit cumbersome, but it does allow multiple machines and I won't run out of room on my server. As a side note, Claude 3.5 Sonnet wrote the software. I had no idea how to manipulate an indexedDB database in a browser's local storage. And to top it off, importing and exporting from that local store. Yet, if you don't understand how to finesse an AI, i...

Saving condition images

 Dealing with images is a complicated set of circumstances. First, if I'm going to keep track of all my different condition pictures, it can overwhelm my web hosting server pretty quickly. Just me, no problem, but, add a few people to the mix and it starts taking significant amounts of room. To deal with all those images, i needed to pull out my deep thinking cap. So here is the way I'll do it.  There is a way for me to store information on a user's machine. It's called indexedDB. The problem is this, it has to be extremely secure, so the way an internet browser deals with it, is that it saves information locally but is only accessible from that browser and that website. Different browser, different data repository. So... how to deal with such diversity, especially considering that the user has multiple machines. The only way I can see them being able to access thir images is to use deep Synchronization techniques. So, first, if they are on their smartphones, then let t...

Monsters

 The reason I started fasting wasn't for my weight. It was for my brain.  Robert Burns, my close friend, told me that serotonin started high production in the intestinal track after not eating for 12 hours. So in June 2022, I started 18 hour daily fasts. The next thing,a year later, I started seeing monsters with my left eye. It's from capillaries that form under your retina. Then they leak fluid and that creates cysts under the retina and then everything looks twisted, which makes people look like monsters.  That's when I found out I had wet macular degeneration in my left eye. I started taking anti Veg shots in my left eye and that helped for a while. But it kept getting worse. Honestly, I don't remember what was first, the 18 hour fasts or the twisted faces, the monsters. Being who I am, I went on a campaign of finding a solution. Doctors will tell you that's its inevitable,  you will go blind from WMD. I Found a clinical trial in Finland where 2/3 of the group i...

Image gallery

 Just got done with the new image gallery . This way, you can insert images based on your conditions and you can view the images in rows. Then you can select 2 pictures to compare. This way you can tell if what you're doing with fasting or supplements, is helping the condition by visually seeing a difference. Pierre 

the ground shook under my feet today

 For the last couple of weeks, I have been experiencing the power of Claude 3.5 Sonnet, the AI platform. I consider myself an expert programmer. I have been programming since somewhere around 1981.  Today, I created a table that could be edited that updates my database based on my initial sql query. I can sort any column or delete or add rows and it has my information on my conditions.  So much for that explanation. What hit me like a ton of bricks, was that after instructing Claude to create this database, editable table in a webpage, using HTML, PHP and JavaScript languages,  I decided to see if my instructions could be used with a different language. Java, the computer language, is used by Android phones and Swift is used by Apple's smartphone language. So all I did was change the name of the computer language to Java and then Swift and Claude, using the same instructions, created the program within 15 seconds each.  Nothing will ever be the same for me. I sp...

Transitioning to AI

 I am a programmer. I started somewhere around 1981. I've been programming ever since. The last several programs I've written have actually been written using Clause 3.5's AI engine. It's costing me 20.00 a month. It's well worth the cost.  I've been transitioning from C++, the computer language to HTML, JavaScript and PHP. I can tell you this: Why on earth should I spend a week on a small program that updates a table in Sqlite database, when I can do the same thing in 2 hours.  It's called prompt engineering. It's a way to guide the AI system into creating a program that works. For instance, my latest program is accessed through the Upgrade/Bug system. This webpage implements a table that can edit my Sqlite table in my database. I can delete, set priorities, show done or not, whether it's a bug or an upgrade. It places buttons above the table that allows me to add rows and more. It's powerful.  It was completely written using AI. Yeah! There...

New member and forgotten password working

 This was a bit difficult. So many bugs and so many mistakes made, especially in the forgotten password programs.  Anyway, it's done and now, the new member system appears to work really well. And if the member has forgotten their password, they can now change it.  I did this with only partial Claude AI. I had a real problem with my local system not sending emails. Then I had a lot of confusion on how to send an email as I was trying to get my website to send mail and it wouldn't. So I asked the AI system how to do it and it responded with a very simple email system.  It turns out that the system I use to run my website locally (XAmpp),  does not do email. Anyway, it's all working now.  To become a new member, a code is sent to the new member email and then if the code matches, then I know that their are real and not some robot trying to clog my system with fake people. Of course, I use an password encryption system that is really interesting. It's called t...
