Imagine being the largest online money transfer company in the world. You deal with international payments and multiple currencies. You charge a fee in exchange for benefits like one-click transaction, and people are happy to oblige.You were spearheaded to glory by Elon Musk himself. You are Paypal. And a big part of your business is broken.    Feb. 24th - The Issue was fixed for me, though I am hearing reports that it wasn't for everyone. In fact, the error came back for me once again . The work arounds do not work. If the system remains up and operation for a week , I will edit. Starting February 11th, 2021, people have been reporting that they cannot convert currency. People supporting friends, family, and commerce abroad find their money stuck in the native currency.  It's reported for at least 10 people on Paypal's forums.  Several people on Twitter have also reported the issue. Note the dates; Feb 17th through 20th. I have an inkling on how software and databa...

   I had a 'Website Refresh' draft in my portal here - At a year old, I thought "I might as well make another post," I said (In September 2020) and here we are (Feb 2021).  I decided to take a short Figma course (Also September 2020). I'd say "Why am I not on time?" but who says there was a "time"? My understanding of Figma...Well, I made these pages! Is it perfect? No, but the general idea is here.  2/2021 : I have added Wireframing for more ideas. The Wireframes do not match the concepts in Figma.  Every icon sans the blog logo is from Evericons . The linked 'Concept #' lead to the actual Figma file, so take a look at it!

Going from v.1 to the completed v.3 I collect Disney mugs (and some non Disney ones). One from every Canon film . I want to put all (35? 37?) in a grid.  Much of the base code for V1. came from the CSS Grid page here , at W3 Schools. Version 1 I wanted to have more than 3 entries per row. I thought sticking a new grid container (grid-cont) would fix that problem.  

 " We are designing a new workspace with 3 floors. On average, there will be 100 devices on each floor that require wired and wireless connectivity. Submit a network design including: (1.) A network diagram (2.) Hardware choices (3.) VLAN and subnetting information (4.) Anything else you think is relevant. "    This was a question for a position at Shopify. While it was publicly available, I decided to wait and post this when the position closed. The Methodology/Framework Break it into chunks. Separate it by something, in this instance, the floors. Determine the departments. Subnets per floor - I'm not using CIDR. Pick the hardware. Ask other questions.

As a human being in the 21st century, I realize how important it is to make sure my websites are accessible to everyone. I make webpages, and I know they can stand to be improved on the accessibility front. I know about alt text in images — and will use them more in the future. I need to integrate them more into my development flow — it’s 2021. There’s no excuse. And that is only the tip of the iceberg. I was generously gifted this book by marktechson on Twitter - Thank you 👋🏾! I revisited the book several times - It's a lot of information I'm not familiar with, and wouldn't feel okay with recapping, especially as you can buy the book over here .

Happy 2021! A lot of the information came from this video by Network Direction. It also showed me how to use these virtual labs. Usually I just showed up, clicked random buttons, and moved onto local .iso because I knew how to get those started. Use Juniper vLabs for an online lab space to work in. Let the setup commence, click the arrow, then SSH!

 I have always liked the idea of a grocer where I can get a small amount of what I need to try a recipe. I don't need 4lbs of sugar for 12 cookies. Some places used to operate like that, buying things in "Stick it in your bag amounts and we'll weigh it." (RIP, Lucky's Market).  Zero Grocery is the next best thing, offering delivery of food, spices, and underground culinary treats to your (California only) doorstep in reusable containers.      You may be thinking that in the times of COVID, people would be hesitant about reusing glass jars strangers have stuck their fingers in. Not so ; [CEO, Zuleyka] Strasner says that customers haven’t been squeamish about reusable packaging during the pandemic. You don't need an account or subscription to browse the goodies , though you will need a zip code in their delivery range to stick them in the basket.  Come with me as I step through my first impressions of the site here - There's a lot to like. This is not a spo...
