        Uploading a new WordPress site to my VPS (Virtual Private Server) became a bit of a problem a couple of months ago. I was trying to set up a simple template site for my Son-in-law for a woo-commerce product site. Unfortunately my VPS did not want to do so, even using the Microsoft web platform

        While on the Raspberry pi site, in the download section, there is a 3rd Party OS for Windows and I thought I’d like to try that out. My VPS is a windows server and I thought it would be interesting if I could boot the RPi up with different OS’s. There is a setup page

        Further to my earlier article ” Physical Ms Flow button -IoT part 1” I have been tinkering around with Arduino code & Flow buttons a bit more. Some successes and some failures. The failures I cannot seem to connect to the device any more. So updating the code in Arduino desktop does not re-install on

        After my partial success with the Arduino chip button test I thought I’d dust off my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B that I’d bought years ago. I hadn’t played with it, I’m not sure why. I’d taken it out of its packaging but hadn’t even installed the micro SD card with Noob setup. So I

        I get GlideApp Community emails most days with updates. David Siegel posted about putting your information up for possible work (https://spectrum.chat/glideapps/general/get-paid-to-help-people-make-glide-apps~d1129038-4265-417b-ae63-f767cb71a3b6) and suggested a meeting app like Calendly for organizing appointments with people interested in talking to you. I thought it was a great idea, but I didn’t have a Calendly account, so needed to

        In the last article I tried linking to my VPS MySQL & PostGres databases and couldn’t. On a test DB site I could connect but to maintain the free DB I needed to log in each week, so I decided not to proceed with that. So, this time around I’m going to try and use

        I have played with Power BI and Data Studio (DS) is Google’s equivalent, and its Free. Since I’ve been playing with GlideApps I have been working in the Google Docs environment with Sheets and Google App Scripts (GAS) and find the Google environment is versatile and has lots of features. An extension of learning to

        I think I’ve been posting onto LinkedIn for at least a year. Every time I created a post on my website or created a video I also put it up on LinkedIn. Followers Generally I had about 7-8 followers, I couldn’t see the sense in lots of obscure followers, I just got a lot of
