Alston’s Daily
This is the main page of my website. This will be the first thing that is seen when the site is visited. I need to come up with a good intro page and get some images added.
I am trying to learn how to get my posts to come up on this page.

9/13/23 – A Hump Day in September
I upgraded my 3D printer this week by replacing the old hot end with an upgraded version and switching to an all-metal extruder. The extruder upgrade took about 15-20 minutes, while the hot end replacement took just over an hour. Despite not consulting any tutorials, I successfully documented the printer’s setup and reassembled it without…

9/4/23 Labor Day Monday
I am in the office today. Me and the 3 other people who decided to not take the day off. It’s been a rather interesting few weeks since I last posted. I have been studying forensics for my first course this semester. I have previously taken a forensics course, but this one is definitely more…

I finished my course early! I now have a week off of school before the next semester kicks off. I should be able to post more since I have more free time. I want to upload several of the 3D print projects I have done. I don’t have much to say today. It’s 2:35 and…

7/17/23 Monday’s
It’s another Monday. This weekend I went to SEGE (South East Gaming Exchange) with my best friend. There were many vendors selling custom work, several vendors with old retro games, there was an arcade section, a console gaming section, and a wrestling ring for their Smash IRL show. The show was towards the end and…

I’ve been busy again. Studying and also recently getting back into the groove of 3D printing. I had an issue last week with my printer not extruding the PLA, but was able to get that fixed with some mechanic work. I initially took the extruder apart to look and see if I could notice anything…

I worked today. It was luckily only a half day. I fixed my 3D printer and started that print for my cousin for Christmas. I have pretty much just been studying since I added on the additional course. After reading the welcome email and finding a quick start guide there was a sentence that said…

7/1/23 Saturday!
It’s Saturday, I have been relaxing although my mind has not. I have been watching Ted Lasso and loving every minute of it. However, I still feel like I need to be working or studying. To constantly be progressing. It’s almost obsessive.. I am trying to learn to relax and be content at the moment…

6/30/23 It’s FRIDAY!
Another week in the office done, now on to work on other things during the weekend. I am still waiting on my final assignment to be graded to make sure it is not sent back for revision. It has been sent back a few times and when I noticed the mistake I made I just…

Wow, it’s been such a long while. It’s 6/28/23
I am finally back from my long hiatus. Work and school took up my time here these last few months. I am still currently in school and working full-time. I recently thought that I wanted to start writing in a journal daily. This seems like the perfect way to do that. I tried soldering for…

6/29/23 How does time fly so quickly?
Learning how to take things day by day instead of stressing and wanting to rush things has been bringing me a lot of peace recently. Let’s go happiness! Today was a pretty normal day at work. I did some Sys Admin work, I used the task scheduler and set several servers to restart for our…
