Today I purchased a new domain for my main blog, ezraharris.posthaven.com. I bought it for $11 a year, (which isn't that bad). I bought it on Godaddy's website. The only problem was connecting that domain to my blog on Posthaven, Posthaven had some basic instructions (here). But they weren't very detailed instructions for me. We called Nicholas and asked him for some help with setting up my domain. And he gave dad some instructions but still, we couldn't set it up. I looked up the buildsbygideon.com domain that we repurchased a while. I looked and saw that the A record had been set to the IP address that posthaven said to enter. So then I used the same IP address and pasted it in the same spot that the buildsbygideon.com domain had put it in. Well, nothing happened at first, so I just let it be, then later on, when I went to my blog, it had put EzraHarris.com in the search bar where I had entered ezraharris.posthaven.com. So then I thought that Nicholas had done it, but he said that he hadn't done anything to it. So now it works!
Last Saturday I couldn't connect to the Printrbot from my computer. I thought maybe it was the cord, so I found a couple more of the same cables and tried them, but none of them worked. And it kept sending an error message through pronterface (by the way pronterface is the program I use to print to the PrintrBot). The next day my brother Nicholas came over, and he told me that I probably need to restart the controller board. But he hasn't done that on that 3D printer so I will have to google it, I am pretty sure I will need to connect to the board to send a restart command, but I can't do that because that is the reason why I have to restart it. So, for now, it is just sitting on my desk till I can get it fixed.
Recently I had paid for a Minecraft hosting service called Apex. A hosting service is a company that hosts a Minecraft server on their desktop computer. When you buy a service for a server, you can choose different types. For example, I chose the 2GB server because I am only going to use it for a plain survival world. If you wanted a server for a ton of plugins (plugins change the game to whatever they are supposed to do, for example, this is a plugin that makes it, so only one person has to go to bed instead of everyone who is on the server go to bed.) Then you would probably want to buy the 3GB or the 4GB if you will have a lot of people. The reason I had purchased the server is that I wanted to play on it with some friends on the server instead of a realm that I was playing on because there were about 11 of us, and the realm could only hold ten players, but the server can hold about thirty players.
Recently I have been working on Codecademy's web development course, which includes HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I have already completed the first part of HTML and CSS, and now I am working on the "Getting Started with Javascript" lesson. HTML is the bare side of a website. In HTML, you can do a little bit of styling, but it isn't meant for full styling. CSS is the styling code of a website. For example, on a site with CSS, you can change the font size, color, etc. So far on my web development course, I have learned a lot, I love it because it has short quizzes and projects after I am done with a lesson
recently I have been learning about loops, a loop is a code that will keep on looping until it is told to stop or as codecademy says it "As illustrated in the diagram, loops iterate or repeat an action until a specific condition is met. When the condition is met, the loop stops and the computer moves on to the next part of the program."
