Welcome to the Tectra Weekly Update!

When I created the Tectra blog, I was hoping to use it as a way to share what’s new at Tectra. Every Wednesday, I will be posting about the latest and greatest things going on at Tectra.

Satin Web 5 is in the works!

About a month ago, the Satin Web page was taken down. The most recent version of Satin Web, Satin Web 4 introduced a material design, as well as several bugs.

Satin Web was in desperate need of a rewrite. As a result, I am rewriting it. I hope to release it sometime in the next few weeks. Stay tuned, as I will post when it has been released!

Tectra Network updates

Tanner and I have been working hard on improving the Tectra Network. Expect to some new games on the Network soon! If you want to visit the Tectra Network, click here.

The official Tectra mascot!

We now have an official mascot. Meet my cat, Pumpkin! She is the only cat on our team, but that could change in future.

That’s all for now, but make sure to check back next Wednesday! There will be more updates coming soon.

What's in John's Backpack? (EDC)

I may no longer be a computer science major, but I'm still fascinated by electronics of all kinds. That's why I take great pleasure in writing about my "everyday carry," that being the devices that I regularly take along with me. These are often being swapped around, as I am an enthusiast at heart, but some of these have stuck around for a long time. So, here's the list: Phone: iPhone 15 Pro (128 GB) It's a very nice phone. That's about all I have to say about it. Like most people, I'm pretty apathetic toward iPhones. I prefer iOS for my needs, and it does what I need it to. 'Nuff said. Laptop: MacBook Pro 14" (2023, M3) I feel bad for my MacBook Pro. It gets tossed around in my bag, is constantly being used, and has a fair few battle scars. But it keeps on going. This laptop has gotten me through college thus far, and I'm hoping I won't have to replace it for a few more years. Watch: Apple Watch SE (the newest one) I swear that this i...

I love my Instax Mini SE. Here's why!

Hey, folks! I did it. I finally got into instant photography. And I love it. Admittedly, I've had some experience with instant photography before now. I got my first instant camera at a thrift store in 2022. It was a Polaroid OneStep from the 90s, and while film was still readily available for it, it was far too expensive to justify using it regularly. As cool as instant photography was, I accepted that it wasn't economically viable for me and moved on. ...Until about a month ago! On one of my first dates with my girlfriend, she introduced me to her Fujifilm Instax Mini 11. It was a much more compact and modern instant camera than my Polaroid. It also used smaller film slides. This was a big deal, as she informed me that the smaller film came at a smaller price. I was intrigued. A couple weeks later, I ventured to Walmart and splurged. I picked up the cheapest Instax they sold: The Mini SE. It only cost about $57, and it came bundled with 10 slides of film. I also picked up an ...
