Hey! I'm TechieCable, a very fancy web developer. Welcome to my website!
I just finished completely redesigning my entire website! I'm super fancy because I
decided to use Bootstrap
to improve the styling and make this website mobile-friendly. Ideally, if you're viewing this
page on a device that is smaller than a computer monitor, you can still navigate and see the
content easily, especially since I spent 3 days working on it.
Rewriting basically the whole website was a lot of work, but I'm quite pleased with the result.
Doesn't this page look a lot more modern and smooth? There's even a redesigned header ⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆ and
a brand new footer ⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇!

Hey! I'm TechieCable, the programmer with expanding knowledge. Welcome to my website!
I continue to improve and fix TechieCableUtilities, my
experimental program written in AutoHotkey, an
automation scripting language for Windows. Take a look at the feature page
that
I recently added to display some helpful
information.
Recently, I've also been working more on this website. I now use jQuery to
load a
separate HTML page onto this one to display
things like the page navigation and last updated badge.
I also finally figured out how to load these blog posts from a remote source so that I
can more easily create and update them. You're reading this, so I guess it worked.

Hey! I'm TechieCable, the forward-moving programmer. Welcome to my website!
I am still writing scripts with AutoHotkey, an
automation scripting language for Windows. In fact, I brought together a few different scripts
that I had written to make TechieCableUtilites. Written entirely in AutoHotkey, it features an
installer, launcher, updater, and the program itself.
The launcher/updater tool automatically retrieves the latest release of the compiled script from
my Github repository and
launches it. A little tray icon allows for easy user interaction and the script adds in some
hotkeys (keyboard shortcuts) for a few useful things.

Hey! I'm TechieCable, an ever-improving programmer. Welcome to my website!
Right now, I am writing scripts with AutoHotkey, an
automation scripting language. I've also recently been working on writing this website.
I can't announce that I am completely finished yet, but it's coming along quite nicely. To
start, I decided that I wanted a full-screen front page. While such a thing may sound simple, it
took a lot of trial and mostly error to make it happen. However, after much research and more
coding in both HTML and CSS, I now have that front page that I was looking for.
I've also been rewriting and transfering my programs from my old Google
Sites
page. You can view a list of all my published programs here on this site.
You might have noticed the header at the top of your page (the bar with links to my home page
and programs page). If you scroll down, it
should travel with you. If not, I have more research to do.
Regardless, more is coming to this site in the near future! Thanks for visiting!

Hey! I'm TechieCable, a learning programmer. Welcome to my website!
Currently, I am writing Processing JavaScript programs, simple HTML web pages, and spicing those
web pages up with some CSS styling. I recently wrote a few programs centered around
time.
Have you ever wondered exactly how many days it has been since your last birthday? The start of
the year? ? I wrote a program that can calculate
all of those, and more. Below you will see a program that I wrote specifically to show how many
days have passed since a user-specified date. It basically calculates how many days there are
between the user date and . Then it finds today's
date and calculates the number of days between that and . Finally,
it
subtracts days since user date from
today date and shows the viewer the output. I put it in a nice block of text so the user can see
the outcome. To select the user-specified date, I made several buttons for switching between
menus and increasing/decreasing the values.
You can view a list of all my published programs or see my
latest release (link just after this
letter).

Hey! I'm TechieCable, an actively learning programmer. Welcome to my website! Let me tell you a
bit about myself.
As of now, I can write very basic JavaScript programs, simplistic HTML web pages, and a bit of
CSS styling. I created my first program, Click Speed
Counter, as an experiment to test my learning. While creating it, I developed a system
for measuring time inside a JavaScript program. Now I can assign a variable for the start time,
current time, remaining time, and elapsed time in a program. With this knowledge, I can make
individual objects or text appear on the page after a specified amount of time. For example, in
my second program, Space Invaders, the game has a
five-second countdown from when you hit the start button to when you are redirected to play the
game.
I hope to continue to learn more and practice my skills by posting fun games and useful
utilities on this site. You can view list of all my published programs or
see my latest release (also shown just after this
letter).
