Beware the Ides of March...in 9 days

Stupid heading for this blog, but whatever.  I was amused.
 
So, a lot has happened since my last entry, which I believe was sometime in January.  I have officially started a new business -- OnlineFixShop, LLC.  The web address is http://www.onlinefixshop.com/.  Check it out!  For the next few months, my business will be focusing on home PC repair.  
 
I am offering services that can help you:
 
  • Rid your computer of spyware and viruses
  • Retrieve lost information and data
  • Gain access to the Internet
  • Increase your computer's performance and speed
  • Learn your way around various types of software
  • Setup a secure wireless or wired network
  • Back-up personal and valuable data
  • Secure your computer(s) and protect your data
    • Eventually, I am planning to focus on repairing computers over the Internet using remote administration technology, which I have yet to design.
     
    Right now, I am working to setup an online ordering system and my own accounting system.  So, at the time of this writing, one could find me at the library looking at some accounting books.  Anyways, I better go because my class starts in about 20 minutes.  Bye for now.

    Developing a lightweight WebSocket library

    Late in 2016, I began development on a lightweight, isomorphic WebSocket library for Node.js called ws-wrapper .  Today, this library is stable and has been successfully used in many production apps. Why?  What about socket.io ?  In my opinion, socket.io and its dependencies are way too heavy .  Now that the year is 2018, this couldn't be more true.  Modern browsers have native WebSocket support meaning that all of the transports built into the socket.io project are just dead weight.  On the other hand, ws-wrapper and its dependencies weigh about 3 KB when minified and gzipped.  Similarly, ws-wrapper consists of about 500 lines of code; whereas, socket.io consists of thousands of lines of code.  As Dijkstra once famously said: "Simplicity is prerequisite for reliability." ws-wrapper also provides a few more features out of the box.  The API exposes a two-way, Promise-based request/response interface.  That is, clients can request dat...

    JavaScript Sticky Footer and Scroll Effect

    This post talks about two different HTML/JavaScript effects: How to keep a page footer stuck at the bottom of the browser window. How to create a scrolling <div> without using a scroll bar OK. So... you have a website. You want a header stuck at the top of your page and the footer stuck at the bottom of your page. The stuff in the middle, you want to be able to scrollable. But, you don't want those ugly scrollbars to the right of your scrollable text. Maybe, instead, you'll have up arrows and down arrows above and below your <div>. When you mouseover the arrows, the text in the <div> will move up or down and create a scrolling effect. Suppose your page looks like this... <html> <head> <title>Test</title> </head> <body> <div style="position: relative; width: 700px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"> <div id="header">Header</div> <div id="scrollUp...

    Wedding Prediction - October, 2013

    Carla and I are planning on getting married sometime in October next year.  We need to pick a date, and that decision may  involve some science and mathematics.  :) For example, we want the weather to be nice.  To be more precise, we'd like the high temperature for the wedding day to be between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.  Obviously, we have both lived in Ohio our entire lives, and we have a pretty good idea of what the weather will be like.  We both hypothesised that October was a "hit or miss" sort of month; it could be cold, or it could be nice. But, for me, a simple hypothesis was not enough; I really wanted to know the probabilities of decent weather based on historical weather data.  Many websites on the Internet (i.e. almanac.com) charge you to review historical weather data, but Carla and I discovered a cool page on cleveland.com that provided exactly what we wanted.  I loaded the historical temperature data from 1903 to 2011 f...
