Playing with HTML5

 This is me going "Hey, let's open up VS Code and just mess around." Here is the website for this project.

 

Animal Crossing: New Horizons villager Pashmina looks confused at a bookshelf

Let's look at what I did!

 

 
    background-blend-mode: soft-light;

This will fade out the image to reflect the color of the background with the background-color property.

The hovering effect over the informative banners came from here. It's not new, I remember nth-child properties. Everyone of them has the same effect placed upon them.

Also old are marquees with loop counts -

marquee behavior="scroll" direction="right" loop="500"

I call it 'The Eternal Marquee'

Direction is new. I have seen text go up and down, and you can do it with images as well, but I stuck to right.

Something in my code is overriding the hover effects in my ps class (the scrolling images):

 CSS:

.ps :hover{
    opacity: 100%;
    background-blend-mode: multiply;  
  }

 HTML:

 <img src="l1.jpg" width="923" height="519" alt="Natural" class="ps" />

 

Putting everything between divs didn't work either;

 

<div class="ps"> 
        <img src="l1.jpg" width="923" height="519" alt="Natural" />
        /* omitted for brevity */
    </div> 

 

 

The hover effect works for links, so I'm not sure what.

a :hover {
    color: orange
}

 Let's look at the CSS for a marquee -

It's too much to put all here, and the details are for better control of webpage elements. This is particularly text based .

I did manage to put a temporary top to bottom marquee on the H1 element.


Let's focus on what I did learn - Responsive sizing.

So when you adjust the viewport, the informative banners will now adjust!

 

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">     <title>The Great Library</title>

 

    width: 100%;

 That soft light CSS filter above.

 

The animation effect to pop things up.

Recon and SSID - Mapping With VisiWave Site Survey

My laptop is refurbished. I've written about how there are a few ... quirks. Being a technology professional, I felt okay with adopting an older machine, knowing I had the skill to fix moderate issues. From dying drivers to monitor massacres, I've ID'd, solved, and documented a lot of issues.  The newest one was my Wi-Fi adapter dropping the connection to a specific extender. While troubleshooting, I was curious about doing recon of WiFi networks and broadcasting devices anyway. That issue? A power setting. It was so determined to save power, it would disconnect. The extender is also flirting with the older end of 6 years old.  The battery needs to be replaced, but that's new to me. As a Windows laptop, there are a plethora of options to pick. How do you decide which one is safest?  I am suddenly concerned about this despite having 3 unofficial, 15$ Macbook Air chargers from eBay, and no explosions. But let's move onto the Site Survey - Where can I find the stronges...

Making KPI Dashboards with PowerBI

 While this is the free tier, I cannot share or collaborate with others, nor can I publish content to other people's workspaces, but they will not stop me from screenshooting and recording these self-taught adventures,so! I'm doing this because I idly searched "Mattel careers" and "Information Technology", and seeing a bulletpoint saying the following: Analytical and reporting skills such as creating dashboards and establishing KPIs such as experience with PowerBI, Cognos, Tableau, and Google Data Lake/AWS is preferred And thought "Well, I've used Tableau, and I've heard about PowerBI,  even if its in-demandness is questionable , so how similar is it? And can I write about it?"  First, PowerBI (PIB) does have a downloadable, local version, but apparently Windows-only. I could download the .exe but I couldn't run it / drag it to applications on my MacBook.  Not a problem, we'll use the online SaaS version, and a dataset found here, ...

S3 Event Notifications Using Lambda

I earned my AWS Solutions Architect Certification in Feb 2026 (🎊) but Like Smash Mouth said, "So much to do...so much to see."  I've used Lambdas that, when an object was uploaded to a bucket, sent a notification to Eventbridge, and then sent me a text and email via SNS. Now, thanks to the free project on Adrian Cantrill's GitHub , I'm going to make a small image processing eventflow. (Emoji use is for fun; Everything here written by a human being.)  What's Happening: Images uploaded to an S3 bucket are made into 5 thumbnail variations thanks to the power of Lambdas and inserted into an output bucket.   Business Use case; If you want to get quick thumbnails.  Maybe this can be scaled out to do file conversion, like .txt to .pdf.  Materials: 2 S3 buckets - one for input, one for processed output. Lambda An image!  Step 1: Bucket Creation  🪣 I made one bucket (runtcpip-source, for images to go in) and copied the settings from it to make the second...
