Word-For-Word Translator

With the help of Google Translater, Deepl, and LLMs such as ChatGPT, translating text from one language to another has never been easier. However, this doesn’t necessarily help you learn it. For example, I’m intermediate-level Korean. I can read most Korean, but there is the odd word I don’t know. Putting the sentence into a translator often doesn’t help as, due to sentence structure, idioms, meaning etc, it can be difficult to tie the output back to the input. The best solution is to put the unknown word into a dictionary or translator, but that’s time-consuming.

Making a website with ChatGPT: DiscussAnyPage

Summary I went from an idea to a live website using ChatGPT in only a handful of prompts and a couple of hours, writing no code myself, and only copy and pasting commands. URL: https://discussanypage.onrender.com/ The idea On Saturday night, I had an idea - what if there was a way to leave a comment on any webpage? Sure, sites like Reddit and Disqus are similar, but I wanted to implemented in a different way. From any webpage, a bookmarklet or browser extension would automatically create a page on a website (I called it DiscussAnyPage, or DAP for short) where anyone can leave comments specifically for that webpage.

Myopia Measurer Android App

Tl;dr: I launched an app. Get it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.myopia.measurer The original project About 18 months ago (wow, time flies!) I built an Arduino-based device to measure your eyesight (read more about it here). However, it turns out taking it to the next stage - that is, PCB design and manufacturing - is prohibitively expensive (hundreds of £s). Using a breadboard-based device on a regular basis was not convenient, due to the physical size and fragility.

Arduino Myopia Measurer

Introduction Eyesight The Project Images Circuit Diagram Code Video Conclusion Comments? Introduction I always loved tinkering with electronics - that’s why I did Electronics at A-Level and went on to do Electrical & Electronic Engineering at university. However, over the last few years, due to work, travel, and other life goings-on, I haven’t had a chance to play around. Recently I saw an Arduino kit on sale on Amazon and decided to jump back in! Especially as I found some software so you can use one as a PLC… Watch this space.
