Okay, so, today I was messing around with this thing called “Brad Paddock”. Never heard of it before, but it sounded interesting, so I decided to give it a shot. First off, I had to find the darn thing. Turns out, it’s not something you just download like a regular app. It took a bit of searching, but I finally tracked down the source files.
Then came the fun part – or so I thought. I needed to get this thing up and running. This involved doing something called “compiling”. I opened up my terminal, navigated to the directory where I had saved the files, and typed in the compile command. Fingers crossed, I hit enter.
- First hurdle: a bunch of error messages popped up. It was like the computer was speaking a different language!
- After some digging, I figured out I was missing some “dependencies” – basically, other programs that “Brad Paddock” needed to work.
- So, I went and grabbed those dependencies one by one. It was a bit tedious, but I got there eventually.
With the dependencies in place, I tried compiling again. This time, success! No angry red text. Phew! Now, to actually run the program. I typed in the command to start it up and… nothing happened. Or at least, nothing I could see. It was running in the background.
It was successful, I can see the output. I checked the task manager, the CPU usage change, and I believe I made it.
What a day!
This “Brad Paddock” thing was way more complicated than I expected. But hey, I learned a lot, and I actually got it to work! If anyone else is thinking of trying this out, be prepared for a bit of a challenge. It’s definitely not for the faint of heart! But if you’re persistent, you can do it. And that’s my adventure for today.
