 I have been using GitHub since 2017, and have been getting tired of GitHub's theme. I didn't need a huge change, just a small refresh. So, to solve this, I whipped out [Stylus](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/styl-us/) and made a nice little CSS file for it.

 A rather large number of people know me as "the guy who does weird things with python". I would object to this title, but it is quite accurate. So, here are some of the things I like playing with in python. None of these are actually breaking the language, just little known facts and syntax. At some point I will share about actually breaking the language. For now, enjoy the weird things I have found over the past 6 years.

I have been working on a little project called [devDNS](https://devrant.com/collabs/2163502) over the past few days that uses this undocumented API. Why must I be so bad at writing intros?

 I have always been interested in text and data encoding, so last year, I made my first encoding tool. [Shift64](https://github.com/Ewpratten/shift64) was designed to take plaintext data with a key, and convert it into a block of base64 that could, in theory, only be decoded with the original key. I had a lot of fun with this tool, and a very stripped down version of it actually ended up as a bonus question on the [5024 Programming Test](https://github.com/frc5024/Programming-Test/blob/master/test.md) for 2018/2019. Yes, the key was in fact `5024`.
