Hung Truong: The Blog!

Great, another personal AI agent for the pile!

I can already hear the Chobits OP playing in my head I was rewatching the Chobits anime after thinking about how we're basically living in the Chobits universe with our voice-enabled AI assistants (minus the bodies, I guess).

The mythical Woot bag of crap is finally mine!

I've been working on some new features for Anime Nano in the last few weeks, just to have something to work on.

This test model is making me hungry for swiss cheese Last time I 3D printed something, it was a replacement part for my Toto Bidet toilet seat.

Hugo: with 250% more colors than Jekyll!

I'm pretty sure this logo is AI generated I was listening to the generated audio for my blog post that I wrote yesterday about running local AI agents, and some of the sentences were kind of annoyingly spoken.

This is the only 2B model I need!

Since we had our solar panels and backup battery installed like a year ago, I've been somewhat obsessed with eking out as much efficiency from the system as possible.

Don't look too closely or you'll realize this image is AI generated!

My new IDE which I will probably drop soon!

Qwen3-TTS, the best TTS model I've used so far!

Two puns in and we haven't even hit a paragraph yet.

Thanks, OpenAI for the plushie and the office tour (not real btw)!

Claude Code - my coding companion for the past 31 days It's been... one month since I purchased a Claude Pro subscription so I could try Claude Code instead of freeloading off of Google Gemini's CLI.

Claude Code - my new best friend!

Vibe Coding Origins As generative AI has gotten better in the past months/years, I've been trusting it more to do stuff that I'd normally only trust myself to do.

Like washing mud off a car with water...

Was this book written for me?

It's not a Christmas album without wintery wonderland album art!

Ron Swanson as Ron Weasley!

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few days, you've heard of this game online called Wordle.

I recently switched teams at Amazon to one that is using SwiftUI and Combine, so I finally have a good excuse to learn the two.

I've had a lot of free time in the past few weeks so I decided to spend some of it working on side projects.

I haven't been working as much on my workout app since it's been good enough for me to use as a replacement for Zwift with the most recent changes I wrote about.

I was in California about a month ago for work and I was able to attend a few events during WWDC week.

I’ve been a bit slow to update my blog series about trying to make a clone of Zwift, but not because I’ve stopped working on it.

A very colorful Zwift Workout Last time, on “Making an iOS Zwift Clone to Save $15 a Month” I wrote about learning Core Bluetooth to connect to my exercise bike and get data streaming directly to my app.

It’s been a while since I’ve worked on a personal project, but I’ve been having an itch to make some new iOS apps and yesterday morning I decided to go ahead and hack something together.

R.I.P. old blog!

I got an idea the other day when I was looking at my co-worker’s iPhone X sitting on a desk.

It’s been a while since I wrote a year-in-review on this blog, let alone any blog post. 2016 was a big year though, so here’s some stuff I did.

Last Thursday, Apple held an event where they announced a few things, including a refresh of the Macbook Pro line that killed all of the good ports and added a touch bar to replace the function key row.

I’ve been fascinated with solar energy ever since I was a kid and my brother had a toy with a motor attached to a mini solar panel that you could run under a strong light.

A sample of some UIViews that are basic "functionalities" in a "Multi-view Application" So for the past few weeks we've been trying to hire for a contractor position to work on our iOS app.

As a beginning iOS developer, I remember learning a lot of the craft by trial and error, paired with many of the WWDC videos of years’ past.

Last Saturday I got married to my longtime pal Emily.

Everyone I know loves a good Apple product-based trivial controversy.

The Idea A few weeks ago, I noticed a tweet from John Sheehan asking if there was an automated tweet -> screenshot tool: I thought it was a pretty interesting concept that would be fairly easy to implement and had a small enough scope that I could use it…

Act 1 Ikea Stockholm.

Since I moved to a new home that’s closer to work, I’ve been riding my bike to commute at least a few times each week.

I finally got the LG G watch that I won in a contest about a week ago.
