It's been a long time since I made a blog.

 I've been busy with a visitor and traveling to the Mount Rushmore Memorial. I've been busy for more than month.

I bought a couple of old laptops in an on-line auction. 

The first one only needed a battery charge. I was able to get it working well when I finally took out a memory module that Windows used to prevent anyone from installing Linux. I'm really happy with it and I'm using it now. 

The other laptop is a problem child. I've replaced the charger and the battery. It also needs a display.; which I'll get tomorrow. 

In spite of a broken display. I got Linux Mint installed. It turned out that the sound doesn't work. I found a broken variable resister. It could be called a rheostat.. The headsets work so I'll leave it at that. 

I might just send back the display and throw it away. Replacing the rheostat is just to hard. I don't do much soldering. and I don't know how to get a replacement part.

I don't feel inspired about linking a YouTube video. I'll find something. I wasn't able to link a video. Maybe it's censorship.

 

I Wasted a weekend and a couple of days working on my car.

 The rear seat window is stuck in the down position. I've got  it all torn apart in the rear seat. 

I'm taking it to a shop tomorrow and will have it fixed by a pro.

I need to get back to working on my trading bot.

I think I'll link Tuosi here. 

I couldn't link it with the Brave Browser. I'll go to Google.

I got it done.

 

Pomp has a good interview going on.

 I'll link Antony Pomp interviewing an interesting person. I've forgotten his name.

Later.

Here's a good video on sleep; which is a big problem for me.

 Here's the link

I couldn't find what I was watching but this is the same doctor.

Sara Visited Today.

 She said that I told my pychiatist that I didn't need anything for my sleep disorder. 

I don't remember that. My lack of sleep is disturbing me a lot. I need to take something to get back to sleep after waking up the second time at 3;30 to 4;00 every night. I'll talk with her tomorrow. 

On a different topic: I've been setting up a trading bot with Chat GPT and Etrade. It's been a time consuming pain in the butt. It's getting done. I just need to run the Sandbox for a while and then I can switch to online trading. 

I trust a bot more than myself because I always let emotion and poverty influence my trading. The bot shouldn't have those problems. We'll see.

I can't link anything when I'm running the Brave browser, so I'll sign off, here.

Loading a Trading Robot Using Chatgpt

 I'm working with Chatgpt to get a trading robot working with Etrade. Robinhood wouldn't accept one. 

It's a pain in the ass. My biggest problem has been getting my computer to copy and paste well. I guess that's a problem with Linux and the Brave browser. 

I finally got one going: now I have to test it. 

I'm doing a lot of programming and I didn't realize it was such a pain in the butt. 

I think I'll link something about making trading bots.

I took my new bike to the shop in Storm Lake.

 I'm waiting to hear from the owner. I think I'll be able to get most of it fixed there. 

I hope to keep the cost under $300. Most of the cost is in labor and he charges $100/hr.

I'm looking forward to having the new bike to ride. I can fit it into the car so maybe I can get rid of the truck. 

Chat gpt thinks I've got a bargain. We'll see soon. 

Talking about Chat, I have to make a few phone calls to try to find my Bitcoins. I still haven't found whitch phone company I dealt with in 2010. I'll keep at it. 'And also I have to contact Ubuntu. I haven't found a phone number to acheive that. 

I can't think of anything to link so I'll link one of my old etchings. I wasn't able to do that with the Brave browser. It only works in Google. I'll link a YouTube video.

I couldn't insert a video either so I'll give up.
