There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Hey. New board.

Ooh, I clicked the course I wanted in Udemy (React - the Complete Guide) and two great things happened. First, it offered me an additional course on "React Native - The Practical Guide" for even more of a discount, and it also turns out they are even cheaper if I pay in the native Brazilian currency. I paid the equivalent of like $12 for both. Not bad!

So my path is: amych's books (started already), then the React Complete Guide course, at least as much as I find interesting, then the React Native book to maybe cobble together an app for my own testing (I already did a super-simple flutter app once, probably good to try its main competitor). Then maybe Elm, for more fully-functional indoctrination.

Thanks all!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, Typescript is really pretty sweet.

Have fun with your learnings!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

FINALLY Apple has updated the iMac.

I need help I am having internet issues through my apple airport and I switched on the internet tab from Connect using "Static" to "DHCP" and now it needs my router address and I have no idea.

I think maybe I found it in "network" in my system preferences.

ok, I got my airport back working, but I am getting no internet connection when I connect it to my modem.

I get internet when I connect my modem directly to my computer.

Anybody use an online cloud backup service?

Hey. New board.

I roll my own with Google drive plus an external hard drive. Probably not the best option but works for my needs.

Tom, I use Acronis. Seems to work moderately well but I have to remember to plug in my external hard drive occasionally to allow it to be backed up too...
