• Hivetracks Discussion Reflection

  During the HiveTracks discussions, I learned sometimes even projects managed by public universities can suffer from ownership issues that can cause the data to not be freely available in some cases, that there are many types of honey, with a type known as sourwood being produced right here on the Blue Ridge, and that there are several bee health issues, some of which are dealt with by using unapproved substances.

• Fun With Discord.py And Matplotlib

  Today I finally finished the Codecademy Python course, and I decided that I should make something actually useful to try out my newfound Python skills, so I decided that making a Discord bot using Discord.py would be a project simple enough for me to understand, but that I could make as complex as I wanted with my knowledge of Python (and maybe add to later if I learned anything cool that’s relevant to Discord bots).
