Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this thing called ætla, and I figured I’d jot down how it went. It wasn’t super smooth, but hey, that’s part of the fun, right?
Getting Started
First things first, I had to, you know, actually get ætla. It wasn’t like downloading an app from the app store. I poked around online, found where it was hiding, and followed the instructions. It involved some typing in that black box thing (the terminal, I think it’s called?).
Figuring It Out
Once I got it on my computer, I had to figure out how to make it do stuff. There were some examples, which was helpful. I basically copied and pasted one of those to start. I’m a big fan of learning by doing (and breaking things). I played with modifying the examples, see the reaction after changing them.
Running into Walls
Of course, it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. I messed up the typing a bunch of times. Silly typos. And sometimes, I just had no clue what I was doing. When things broke, the messages that popped up looked like a foreign language. It might be normal?
Making it (Sort of) Work
Eventually, after a lot of trial and error (mostly error, if I’m honest), I managed to get something that kinda-sorta worked. It wasn’t exactly what I was aiming for, but it was a start! I felt pretty good, like I’d climbed a tiny mountain.
What’s Next?
- Keep practicing. The more I mess with it, the better I’ll get (hopefully).
- Try to understand those error messages. They’re probably trying to tell me something important.
- See if I can make it do something actually useful. That’s the dream, right?
So, that’s my ætla adventure so far. It’s been a bit bumpy, but I’ve learned a few things. And hey, at least I can say I tried something new. And Maybe I will keep trying, I will update when I have some other new findings!
