A blog. About stuff.

If you're reading this, it means I got my blog up and running. Woo!

For those who don't know who I am, I am k6ka, a 20 year old Canadian living in Toronto. I currently attend Ryerson University, and am a Wikipedia administrator. My interests include photography (I'm still an amateur!), writing, wiki editing, and anything else that interests me along the way.

I started this blog as a personal blog to spill my thoughts on (when I feel like sharing them) or (most likely) for sharing my photography experiments in a more centralized location.

My dad was a semi-professional photographer before he became a truck driver, but he's still passionate about photography and likes to loan me equipment and give me tips and tricks. I started out mostly using my smartphone to take pictures—and I still mostly do—but I've been working on using a DSLR and editing my photos after they've been captured.

I also like to write, and although I've done my share of editing wikis on Wikia, I also enjoy fiction writing—with some variable success, but I do like it as a hobby.

Well, there's that. I hope I get to expand this blog and make it more of my thing!

Timebomb command for Discord

Image
The below documentation is outdated. If you would like to import the command into your server, please see the  GitHub repository . I joined Discord in August 2017. Back then I was still mostly an IRC user, and while Discord immediately captivated me with many things reminiscent of the good 'ol IRC era, there was still one thing missing: a bot with a timebomb command. For those who are unaware, a "timebomb" was a fun IRC bot command that allowed you to "bomb" other users. Here's how it works: User A uses the "timebomb" command on User B. The IRC bot will ping User B and present them with a selection of coloured wires to cut, along with how much time is on the fuse. User B needs to respond back with the correct colour in order to defuse the bomb. If User B guesses the right colour, they are saved. If User B guesses the wrong colour, or if they don't respond by the time the timer runs out, the bomb will go off. Depending on the IRC bot, an

"Meet the man behind a third of what's on Wikipedia" CBS article is wrong

Image
A couple days ago my mother emailed me a link to this article : Already I had some major  suspicions about the article just by looking at the headline. "A third of what's on Wikipedia"? What ?! It wasn't until I started seeing links to the article pop up elsewhere on the Internet that I decided to write a response to that email (yes, as you can see, I am an evil and ungrateful son that doesn't respond to half of his mother's emails). I wrote it in a jiffy without much editing or polish of any sort, so it may be rough around the edges, but I hope I got the point across. Here's what I wrote in the email: The article's title is very misleading. 3 million edits to Wikipedia is not the same as 3 million articles, and an edit is counted as whenever you make changes to an article and then click the "Publish changes" button. An "edit" on Wikipedia is considered a technical term and not one of work ethic or merit. It does not take

Young American robin

Image
One fine June morning I rolled out of bed early to do some bird photography. Me and my dad had recently bought a long lens together—a 55-300mm beauty—so I was able to do wildlife photography with greater ease. This young American robin hopped by while I was on the footpath and came very close to me. It didn't seem afraid of me at all, and graciously allowed me to photograph it. I did get a number of photos before someone else came down the footpath and it flew away.
