House is Sold! We're Moved.

-
Closing was two days ago. And our move wasn't far. Just a few blocks away. In moving into an apartment, we've aleviated the stress of foundation worries, a/c problems, and the host of other issues that go into keeping a house maintained. The next house we get we'll get when we can afford to hire professionals to take care of it. I do computers; I'm no good at fixing sprinkler systems (I learned this firsthand).

So, everything else aside, we have indeed moved. And although we're only about 3-4 blocks away, we're now in Dallas.

P.S. I just last night got our internet access setup at home (took 2-3 weeks for SBC/ATT/Yahoo to activate service). Also had to increase the security protocol on our wireless (living in an apartment, there are lots more potential hacks into your wireless network).

Best of the Basics: JavaScript Informational JavaScript Informational: Best of the Basics: A full run through for entry- and mid-level developers looking for some solid fundamentals.

For those new to the language, this is my own personal introduction to the topic garnered from over 17 years of experience: I'm throwing it out into the informational nexus. -Keith D Commiskey So you wanna control your browser, ehhh...? Start with a Solid Base Variables are the crux of most programming languages, and a good place to start. You have to be able to ask for, handle, save, and recall various tidbits of information. Q: Why would you want to create a variable?   A: Variables are a part of what allows us to control “app”lications—such as your web browser. Everyone reading this informational on a web browser has the ability to create a variable in less than 30 seconds. For instance, most browsers allow you to open th

I Miss Century Bank (aka, I now have ATM Fees [fees being plural])

-
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 (for withdrawing $... isn't that double jeopardy, double indemnity, double taxation, or double something or other?) $7.00 to make a withdraw at a Non-Wells Fargo ATM. I so miss Century Bank! They not only didn't charge ATM fees, they reimbursed the any ATM fees charged. Are there any Century Bank-types still out there? * I tried Chase, and after hearing all their fees, I reconsidered, and they wanted $25 to close my account if done within 90 days of opening it. And b/c I decided against it, and wasn't going to do direct deposit, it was gonna be a $6/mo service charge. I had to put it on my calendar to remember to close it after paying them $12 to avoid paying the $25.

Migrating to Dart's Null Safety

-

Prior to starting on my 4th Flutter mobile app, and because it seems that every plugin now supports it, I decided to give migrating to Dart's null safety a go. Sound null safety is available in Dart 2.12 and Flutter 2. In reading through the migration documentation, it appears the migration tool may pose as much time and effort as migrating by hand. And being I'm in this to learn the code, migrating by hand is the path I've opted for. I'm currently on Step 2.4 of the Migration Guide . Because each of my reminder apps is setup with a similar code base, I also decided to migrate all three apps at the same time. Thus far I've got one app down to 500 critical errors, while the other two are down to 396 and 393. Mobile Apps Critical Warn Info B4-I-Go 500 10 64 Hungry-on_Hand 396 8 56 Xpired To Be 393 10 58 Having started at over 600 critical errors on the B4-I-Go app , the migration thus far has been tedious, but informative and enlightening—to both Dart,
