@Lensflare I used to have a kitty named Simone (rip) who loved zoom and teams. She came in every morning for my daily standup and looked at everyone snd sometimes someone would say something and Evans would look at each other, then back to the screen in agreement. The best was when she would stand up, put her paws together. And wave them at the screen, dissolving our meeting into laughter. I sure miss her. My current cats don’t do that, but one sometimes attends meetings but is more interested in laying on my laptop and licking my mouse hand

@ViRaS hostgator

We e been using site studio for three years now so I can relate. I have to teach users how to manage their sites with it and as someone who has written their own cms, it makes me crazy at times
-
Carousels are awful things. No one looks at them and accessibility wise - well you know
-
I notice I write stupid code before my caffeine in the morning…leave important stuff out and kick myself later, I have a habit of commenting stuff out until I’m sure it’s crap and can go

we voted it out five years ago and it’s still sitting in Congress waiting to be finalized so we don’t have to do it anymore. Do you know that a group of crows called a murder of crows a group of owls called a parliament of owls do you know what a group of baboons is called? If you guessed Congress, that is correct.

@Nanos awww not sure which planet- communications are few and far between! 😄
-
@electrineer hate to say it but it crossed my mind. Took down the link
-
@Nanos love it! When my dad left the planet in 1998 and my community was the first to test broadband, I made his old 496 into a Linux box. I had no idea what I was doing but I learned. It was not only my web server back in the day when isps didn’t cap your upload speed but I also had it doing up masquerading since you couldn’t go get a router for $20 and we wanted all of our computers online
-
@Demolishun yeah I left GoDaddy because they were going to crap. I’ve been looking for a good hosting company so I’ll check out your recommendation! Thank you! I used to run my own server in rack space but it was too much - had an email bomber come attack me etc.
-
@cuddlyogre I’m on a shared hosting situation - hostgator. I wish I could find an old school hosting company
-
@Demolishun I wholeheartedly agree! My site is just my playground. Sheesh. The attack has let up now and I don’t see anything on the server but it was unresponsive
-
@Nanos my dad worked on classic main frames. He brought home punch cards which my mom used for grocery lists
-
@Nanos I got a flash of Zip drives when I read this
-
@jestdotty I’m not desperate. Old yes but too old to he desperate. I don’t get to talk to many developers. Maybe that shows
-
@jestdotty oh we might. I don’t judge. I take a person in. Never up to me to judge
-
@jestdotty my security issues stem from my work in the private sector for most of my career where I was looked down upon. I also get mad at myself because there are holes in my knowledge. So that’s why. I’ve been in the public sector for 6.5 years and never happier or more respected. I appreciate this GroupMe and I’m glad I found it. I’m I secure when easy shit fails and I am my own worst critic. What can I say? I’ve learned since joining a certain groups about lifestyle improvement that having a big ego gets us into more trouble than anything!
Meanwhile….still trying some things. Going to play with hidden fields and validating those … I will get to the bottom of it eventually if not sooner!!! -
@Nanos thanks so much! I hate having people be mean to me and I thank you for standing up for me. Self taught makes problems. I don’t give up easily and am continuing to experiment with possible ways to find the hole!!!
-
@Nanos yep and when you call for tech support it’s hopeless!
-
@jestdotty I might be a lot of things but a liar isn’t one of them

@Voxera hadntbthoughtbofbsn emoty character. Any ideas how to check on the backend? I’m just checking for am empty field now - I stuck in an up capture this morning. I do sonethibg to detect a truly empty string for image uploads….not sure how to do this in other $_POST fields…..this is a downside of being self taught
-
@Nanos I’m glad to hear that and not be flogged for it again!
-
@Nanos forgot to answer question 1 - Php
-
@Nanos host gator is my host. I ran it on a local wamp server before moving it to the host. I miss my old school hosting co
-
@Nanos I’ve tested of course diff browsers, diff devices, etc - like all of us here I have lots of test emails 😄. I’m going to set up op logging next- gonna should all over myself on that one - should’ve set it up. I guess i know what my Sunday is looking like …
-
@Nanos no. When I go check my user registrations, they are listed in a script I wrote. When I’ve tested, it sends me a message telling me someone has registered. Gmail.
-
@Nanos nope! It’s a designated email field and required and now I have a kick back in the script disallowing a blank entry for that field. Thing is, html5 takes care of it on the front end and I’ve tried on diff browsers to see if I could replicate the error but no no and no. Makes me want to hang up a shingle and do nails for $100/hour….
-
@CoreFusionX I know it shouldn’t be stumping me - that’s why I’m banging my head on the desk. I’ll try to shake off the jab at me but this is what really sucks- it should not be an issue at all. Since you don’t know me I won’t go off and cry in a corner
-
@cr8zycatcodr a what error? Do tell 😎
-
@Voxera using html 5 and I just put N error on the backend warning that this fiend vapor he left blank
