Hello, I'm Kleia 👋

I share about my journey into IT, with a splash of computer programming (and memes)

I'm:
taking part in #100DaysOfCode
studying computer networking

while:
balancing time with loved ones
exploring nature 🏕️

Nice to meet you!

[Kleia @KleiaCodes]

@MyBrainDrip Awesome! Congrats on the progress!

@IAmStSzekeres It didn't work, no. So I figured it didn't give me the right answer. I did find code that works eventually, that screenshot just shows the process of me working it out, mistakes everywhere lol

Day 21 of #100DaysofCode with #Python

The HEIC Converter...

There's a lot wrong in this code, as experienced eyes will tell me

And my compiler is telling me that too

And ChatGPT is telling me the same

But you know... what doesn't kill you, makes you go crazy 😂

[Kleia @KleiaCodes]

@IAmStSzekeres I tried it a few days ago and was very happy. Next step is making it work through the GUI :)

[Kleia @KleiaCodes]

@IAmStSzekeres This article worked for me, not using Pillow but pillow_heif

[Kleia @KleiaCodes]

@IAmStSzekeres Thank you! I got that far, and next move is to ask it how to add the functionality to my GUI😬

[Kleia @KleiaCodes]

Testing out "Deep Dives"...

Engage with only one major project, task, or subject for the entire day, letting your focus hone in on that area and leverage on the compounding effect.

Why?

Because too much context switching requires more activation energy.

Day 20 of #100DaysofCode with #Python

🚀Still working on...

Bulk HEIC Converter

--- I did more reading and thinking than actual coding today

💭Trying to understand how to build the converter program from the bulk file renamer program I worked on last month

@ShivankK26 Thank you!

Day 18 of #100DaysofCode with #Python

Light day of studying & coding:

📖 20 mins of Automate the Boring Stuff w/ Python

🔎 Reviewing previous Bulk File Renamer project to find parallels to apply to my Bulk HEIC Converter project

Day 19 of #100DaysofCode and #Python

HEIC Converter:
🚀Making the GUI on PyQt

Contemplating adding the function to automatically resize photos too💭

This is going to take a while😬

[Kleia @KleiaCodes]

@mbyahya_ Learning as I'm going. Thank you 😄

Day 17 of #100DaysofCode with #Python

(1/3)

FINALLY found a code that works to convert HEIC to PNG files using Pillow and pillow_heif modules.

I still need to edit the code with a loop function for multiple files.

Problem: Huge PNG file sizes (20MB~ each)

[Kleia @KleiaCodes]

@Arrowe19 Thank you!

[Kleia @KleiaCodes]

@Ibraheem_Omar_ Not very visibly.

I reduced the quality to 90% which should still be good, but it also depends on the resolution of the image.

[Kleia @KleiaCodes]

@omoola7241 Thank you!

[Kleia @KleiaCodes]

@ArashJangali @yu_angela How's her course so far? I saw it has amazing reviews

[Kleia @KleiaCodes]

@elliezub Congratulations!!

After that, I need to compile these commands into one program.

Finally, I need to figure out how to make the GUI for this program in PyQt.

So I also found a working code to reduce the file size by reducing the dimensions, which cut down the size to roughly 5MB~.

But the dimensions are smaller than I want it so I'll need to find another way to reduce file size to 4MB~ with better dimensions.
