App Development: Odds and Ends

Pick-a-Meal is an online “Random Food Type and Restaurant Selector”. You choose multiple Food Types or Restaurants from a list that you create, and it will randomly pick one for you. https://kdcinfo.com/pickameal/ I (re)built Pick-a-Meal to continue learning more about Laravel. My older, downloadable, version was done in very old school PHP(4). The new online

Keep Track! … an online inventory manager for keeping track of all types of ‘stuff’… “Your Stuff!” http://keeptrack.site I built Keep Track as a way of learning Laravel, MVC, and Bootstrap. I created the entire project from scratch; migrations, models, controllers, views, AJAX, and more. I worked on this project (whilst learning Laravel) on and

Just activated my website’s redesign. Long time coming. Last redesign was 2002. Disclaimer: I’m not a designer! Site: https://kdcinfo.com Please feel free to let me know if you experience any issues. Although I began Dec 2014, this was an on-and-off project. If I had worked on it as a regular day job, it likely would have

The Award Not an official award, but wanted to give kudos and special mention to RBGameHunter on eBay for all of his help in getting me up and running. The Situation Ten months after my last move, I decided it was time to pull out my Atari 800 and get her up and running again

Got my first SSL Certificate installed on my new dedicated IP for my personal site at kdcinfo.com. I’ve still got some work to do, such as converting all internal references from http:// to https:// (or // rather), then I’ll need to convert the entire site to be secure (https://), likely via htaccess. My purpose for

After getting my first ‘mobile’ phone a month back – yes, I finally made the jump into the current decade – I figured I’d see what reading my personal e-mail would be like. Below are my findings based on trying out each of the four e-mail applications provided by my web host. All findings were

With regards to my form-a-form online service <kdcinfo.com/db/form-a-form/>: Due to people forgetting they signed up for this service as a subscription, and my getting chargebacks (for $1.95 no less), despite it being non-refundable, and despite the contract they signed with the PayPal subscription service, I have discontinued this service until I can find a better method

In my recent previous experience with both of these sites, my advice is to go back to getting out and doing things in life and meeting someone naturally. Below are my perceptions of using these two sites from a functionality standpoint. Please note however these observations/notes are as of the time of this posting, and

I recently updated my site’s main page to conform to the HTML5 standard! Easy stuff, but there’s still a lot I’d love to do with not only my main page, but a lot of my inner pages as well. For instance, I can’t wait to begin applying jQuery and UI functionality, and getting rid of

Just finished updating my site’s main page to conform to the W3C XHTML Strict standard! Easy stuff, but a bit time consuming. Will move on to a few other pages next… I’m also going to put an AJAX call into the Border Change feature on the main http://twghof.com (The World’s Greatest – Hall o’ Fame)

Recently had my teeth whitened, and my two front (non-vital) teeth fixed with a chairside veneer. From where my teeth were at, the Dentist did an awesome job. I’d been wanting to do this for about 15 years now. And in finally able to do so, I just wanted to pay tribute to a job

I was wondering today how come White Collar Comedy never became popular as Blue Collar Comedy has. Then it occurred to me that it probably failed 2 days into beta testing. Now that’s funny right der! [Keith’s click at humor] They don’t call me Ctrl-C for nuthin’! Well, okay, I call myself that. But for

06/15 (Mon): Last Day of World of Warcraft (WoW) When I first started WoW, I enjoyed exploring new grounds, seeing new things, and just learning the basics of the game. In the end, I just enjoyed the questing, and then the goal to get to 80. I’m not sure the difference between levels 1-40 and

Landed in SF just before noon on Sunday. It was a good trip. Talked quite a bit with the lady next to me. She was a teacher from Indianapolis. Was also going to SF (first time to Cali) on business. Spoke of her husband and one of her 2 kids. I did a little on

Recently, Wells Fargo acquired Century Bank. My first withdrawl at a Non-Wells Fargo ATM produced these results on my balance sheet. NON-MEMBER ATM FEE – ATM USAGE = $3.00 (the ATM fee itself) NON-WF ATM BAL INQUIRY FEE = $1.50 (for having the ATM tell me my balance) NON-WELLS FARGO ATM TRANSACTION FEE = $2.50

My first impression was, you can’t be serious… Merriam-Webster is supporting Pizza Hut? Upon further examination, it was just a sponsored (keyword) advertisement. Upon even further examination, I found it interesting that: The Right-Wing definition date was: 1856The Left-Wing definition date was: 1884 And I suppose I should transition that part over to my “and

They do 5.1 and 7.1 audio. I’m wondering when 2.1 or 4.1 lighting will be available? Even if just in the movie theaters to start. I saw some reflections during a shootout while watching Bangkok Dangerous, and it was cool. Looked like the gunfire was coming from my side. I now have 5.1 surround, so
