Lady Yuna in her delightful elderly lady Halloween costume. Just want you to know she’s purring loudly. She loves costume time. I think she knows a fun treat is coming after

Working on a little Halloween game that is a rework of a previous memory game I made.
Was losing my mind why it wouldn't trigger game over when two pairs were found.
Turns out I had typed it wrong. Object.value() instead of Object.values() so it was always undefined.
Mondays, right!?

![Javascript code is as follows:
if (name1 === name2) {
if(killers.includes(name1)){
matchedKillers[name1]++;
}
const totalKillerPairs = Object.values(matchedKillers).filter(count => count >= 2).length
if (totalKillerPairs == 2) {
setTimeout(() => {
alert(`You got caught!`);
resetGame();
}, 500);

Was doing an easy leetcode challenge to merge sorted arrays.
Ok, simple. A little splice here a concat there. Works on my end.
In leetcode it fails. Of course they throw me a weird curveball
The final sorted array should not be returned by the function, but instead be stored inside the array nums1.

![JavaScript code with comments. Text is as follows:
/*A fine answer but doesn't adhere to leetcode's rules */
const merge = function(nums1, m, nums2, n) {
let arr1 = nums1.splice(0,m)
let arr2 = nums2.splice(0,n)
return arr1.concat(arr2).toSorted()
};
/*You are given two integer arrays nums1 and nums2, sorted in non-decreasing order, and two integers m and n, representing the number of elements in nums1 and nums2 respectively.
Merge nums1 and nums2 into a single array sorted in non-decreasing order.
The final sorted array should not be returned by the function, but instead be stored inside the array nums1. To accommodate this, nums1 has a length of m + n, where the first m elements denote the elements that should be merged, and the last n elements are set to 0 and should be ignored. nums2 has a length of n. */
const mergeLeet = function(nums1, m, nums2, n) {

Working on Anki/Banki in between work and in most of my free time experimenting more with Strudel repl.
Learned how to use arrange(), it takes tuples of duration and patterns.
Found ways to use multiple stacks in different ways for arrangement.
And the most fun, all the visual options!

Having way too much fun with Strudel repl.
Got to remember to make time for finding work and freelance clients, and of course, my weakness, networking.
But Strudel has a hold on me. I crave to learn more to understand it.

Day 2: learning more on using filters, panning, and other effects.
Next want to learn how to arrange the patterns to play at different times and not just a constant loop.

After reading some of the docs and watching a short video, I'm kind of getting the hang of using strudel repl. This is a first attempt at combining sounds to play together. Having lots of fun experimenting!

Making changes to my "Sounds Spooky" project so that the user can adjust some of the settings for the audio visualizer.
At the moment I have it so they can change the bar spacing, and make it radial or mirror. Super fun!
Been doing everything except finishing the reset password feature 😞

Added audiomotion-analyzer npm package to my "Sounds Spooky" site. Wasn't too difficult to implement. Only ran into a CORS issue that had an easy fix.
Going to play around with the visuals, but happy to get it working and displaying only when play button is clicked.
First Try...Almost!!

Yuna’s dental work went well and didn’t require surgery, so the cost didn’t break the bank. She’s now home and zonked out from the anesthesia.
She’s making the same goofy blank stare I sometimes make when looking at the code I wrote.

Been getting behind on my coding studies. Life has thrown too many lemons my way.
Yuna went to the vet recently and they found she’ll need some dental cleaning work and possible surgery.
She should be fine, but the costs has me sweating.
Here’s a pick of her hiding from the vet.

Was doing a simple code challenge to check if all parameters are of the Number type. Saw in the test cases that NaN (not a number) is considered a 'number' type in JavaScript.
Wanted to do a quick Google to get more info and Google gave me a hilarious search fill suggestion.
Go home JS, you drunk!

Been taking it slow this last week as my old man back has been bothering me.
I’m glad it’s getting better so I can at least bend down to pet my cat.
Mandatory cute cat pic included.

This weekend has basically been a no code weekend, may get some codewars in today.
Got to play tennis with my good friend and take care of some much needed weeding and pruning in the garden.

Was working on my Sounds Spooky site and getting it to display to the user what other users have liked their post.
Got it working and was super excited....and then I tested deleting a comment and got a 404.
Turns out using lean() was the culprit.

Came across an error when testing creating a new profile in my project. Mongoose FindOne() no longer accepts a callback, so it was crashing the web app when trying to create a new profile.
With a bit of googling and minimal headaches, I got it working using async/await.

My least favorite service calls without a doubt are printers. These machines are evil and have a mind of their own. They'll work one minute and throw a handful of errors the next.
I'd rather work on a Dell server running Windows Server 2008 R2 with a corrupt RAID 1 config.

After a little break, I'm ready to get back to coding regularly and focus more on project based learning.
Starting with my main project I've focused on for awhile.
I'll finally tackle setting up a reset password function.
definitely...maybe...
I hope I can get it working.

Been feeling stuck in my coding journey. Learning new things doesn’t get me excited like it used to.
Another freelance client dropped out.
And I’m just feeling discouraged.
So it’s time for a break.
But, I did get a sample box of Japanese snacks to make me feel better. So there’s that.
