When the screen will not load
I was looking around some transactional email services because I want to experiment a little more with those. The first one I tried didn’t even let me sign up because the page never loaded. I’ll have to try again later. If that doesn’t work again, I just won’t even bother trying it out. This will…

Dumping the MySQL
Yeah, another update because it was on my mind. This time it was more about creating a mysqldump of the current database. Since that’s what I’ll need in order to migrate the data to the new server. The good part being that I can now create a good backup of the database. The funny thing…

Command memory
It’s not that great. It really isn’t. I don’t always recall what command I used or often times what sequence I used to get things to work. The good thing being I can pull that history up fairly quick and know how to use it as well. The history command is a great one to…

Some progress was made
So this morning I was messing around with some DNS records to test how things will look like once I move to the new server. I did that with my random domain that I bought a few years ago to test things like that. It worked. The nice part being that I was able to…

Breaking things again
Yeah, I do that quite a bit. The site was down for a bit on and off the last couple of days because of a fatal error. It was the Gutenberg plugin having some hiccups. It was fine since it wasn’t really required for it to be active on the site. I don’t need it…

Random changes here
The other day I was messing around with some of my photos and decided to put some of those on this site for background images. It was time for an update I guess. It was also a small chance to dive into the theme editor. I am still trying to get familiar with how it…

JavaScript objects are weird
This is more of just a random thought that came to me today. It was thanks in part because I was thinking of a solution for something I was tasked to complete. This little task was to create a sort of date calculator. I could use either JavaScript or PHP to create it. I, of…

Hitting that wall
The other day I was looking over some random courses because that’s what I do a lot I guess. It was more because I do want to dive back into the school thing and get either a certificate or a degree. The one that has been on my mind for quite some time is Software…
