Not Going Out This Week...
By Daddy
Las Vegas — I was able to get the new backend into the development environment and I'm using it to do the production today. I'm much more comfortable now that I have the project under Gitlab (source control.) I'm reviewing the 32 issues there to see how many got knocked out by the switch to Yii2 and Bootstrap 4.
You know how you used to be able to buy replica car kits? You'd take a donor car and add panels to make it look like a classic. We've done the opposite, we're taken the the panels and moved them to a new frame in preparation for the V3 version of the site. I'm currently cleaning up the files and portions of files that are no longer needed.
Next I plan to change out the aging menu system for one that's a bit slicker to use and I'm looking at the UN/LOCODE The "United Nations Code for Trade and Transport Locations" database as a replacement for the 2006 hand-rolled database that's been showing it's age. The current database has about 500 locations and the UN/LOCODE has 112K locations. By happen-stance the indexes don't overlap so would make the transition relatively easy.
We've another lull in the incoming reviews, so I'll be using the extra time to work on new backend.
Tonight I'm cooking a whole chicken that I was able to score for 55¢/pound and also plan to make made from scratch chicken noddle soup to tide me over for the week. I don't want to be going out while I'm still recovering from the flu/cough/whatever.
It's very tight however I have just enough to cover that one large bill I was talking about. To all those that have donated, Thank you! Any help is appreciated. Here's a link to the How to Donate Page
