Tipping… I’m sick of it

I guess I’ll never have a chain Pizza again. The Pizza isn’t $10.69 its $12.61-$13.36. And when did a tip rise from 15%. Actually I know it’s been a thing for a while… but not for me. That’s what hardworking waitresses expected at one time. Oh, but things are more expensive now. Well that’s the …

Handling SQL Null values in Go

I ran into trouble describing a field as a string that contains NULL values. In googling, I saw various solutions, I tend to like the KISS method. And this snippet, from my take away, worked for me. Field was defined as boolean in the SQLite database, but could contain NULLs. In my DB there was …

Sandfly… getting left behind!

I watched a demo of Sandfly… what? How cool. After I left computer employment, for several years I felt, I could semi keep up. But now with 200 languages, AI and all the advancements, there are so many changes, I feel so much is passing me by. I really don’t even attempt to stay current. …

Solved Go date routine problem

Described here. Turns out I already had solved this problem. The secret is to use time.Month(integerMonth). In that description I actually said… the function expected mm as a time.Month( ) object. I guess my brain had Go rust.

I really despise the HTML/CSS/JavaScript crap.

Simple HTML Pop-up window

I was working on a little HTML project, and I wanted to display some data related to the page I was on. So I googled HTML popup code. In web page after web page, I was shown a bunch of overly complicated examples. Lengthy JavaScript code and CSS crap. WTH? Give me a break. That’s …

Frustrations with Go date routine

I’m resurrecting a old project. All of it was written in Go, I would normally use Python. Anywho, everything was going fair after re-familiarizing myself with some quirks such as it wanting else written like “} else {“, all on the same line. But I needed a new program that did some date/time formatting. So …
