Tia’s log – 191119 :: PHP, Flutter

Working on today

  • PHP code updates for LMS
  • Flutter chore app!
  • Java selenium/jsoup program
  • Client research for their LMS
  • Nanowrimo!

Notes to self

  • Guess who may learn electron….
  • Bearer is mainly a standard in the authoriziation header in Oauth. Still, a standard to send in a token of some sort. HTPasswd would use "Authorization: Basic"
  • MVC models are facades. Fight me.
  • Netmasks can be used for IP address for mysql. For example, ‘192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0’.

Angsts

  • I hate people copying and pasting and not understanding the code. So, when they have to make a change, they have no clue and it takes them even MORE time to figure out what’s going on than if they had learned it and written it themselves.
  • Not a big fan of these big project management things, even with multiple people. Give me a good marked up spreadsheet any day.
  • Need more RAM. (Coincidentally, I typed this as my computer fell to a blue screen)

Passionates

  • Oh, my goodness, yes. Finally found a note app that I can completely dig: Notable . I like one note, but man is it overkill for what I need to do.
  • I love line debuggers. I always hate going back to CF when using OO (CFCs) or Java and not having them proper 😦 .
  • Finally realized I can recreate what some of these larger programs do, but on the scale that we need. As much as I’ll push a good ole’ framework, many are overkill for small shops like mine.

Olio

  • Rememember SourceForge? I mean, it’s still there, but with Git, these young’ens don’t much. Just remembered I have an OLD php script there, circa 2002. Goodness.
  • One of my favorite Twitch steams https://www.twitch.tv/adam13531
  • I love the TODO extension on Visual Studio Code so_much_. I would love something so simple, but highly efficient, on Google Drive, or anywhere. The color coding, shortcuts, and time stamps make it something absolutely necessary for me. This one: Todo+
  • I still love RSS so much. Decided I’d cut back on Reddit (where I’d stay up with tech a lot) and focus more on feeds. That and the fact that I have a slight Reddit addition. Probably the endless scrolling…. What are some great blogs you follow?
