Google Domains Tech Support Team Definitely Wins Today

Google Domains Tech Support Team Definitely Wins Today

After pushing through lots of issues across multiple hosting platforms and multiple cms tools, Google Domains Tech Support team definitely did the best job of just doing their job.  Firebase .... so far not useful.

Using Firebase to host a Blog.  Static content.  Jekyll it is.  


So PRessable so far isn’t impressing me with their support.  They didn’t make it braindead simple to point a subdomain.  Not sure who is winning from the painful lack of tech ability at Shopify and Pressable. Now I’m afraid posting to Village the Game blog will take coding skills.  This is insanity. Maybe my fears will be abated as I learn firebase and how nifty it is.
So here we go.

Issues

  1. So how do to make subdomain blog.villagethegame.com point to the site.
  2. Won’t let me add second A record:
    2. Resolved.  Google Domains tech support “Gem” showed me how to add second ip on first try.  Yay!!
  3. Not off to a good start. Can’t even fucking deploy.  And firebase tech support doesn’t respond until monday.

  1. So even after buying Google Cloud Gold Support, there is no solution.
    4. Firebase: https://firebase.google.com/support/  | These people don’t seem to have a portal for tickets… argh.
    5. LinkedIn Leads on Firebase team/staff:

  2. Since Firebase deploy is failing and Firebase Support is unresponsive I’m digging up backup plan of hosting on a cms for app engine standard environment.  
    1. /Users/darianhickman/gdk2/bin/gcloud
    2. Hello World for go app engine.
    3. Hmm… something obvious failed here so backtracking even further just setting up several subdomains and just decide which one wins …
Setting up Sub Domains for Handling Content whereever it make reside:

  1. Github Pages for VillagethegGame.github.io worked per directions.  Not too painful of a setup.
    1. http://blog3.villagethegame.com/  successfully points to: villagethegame.github.io
  2. Google Storage was a pain in the ass on several previous attempts at hosting public static content.  Doing obvious things like makeing a bucket recursively and permanently public was miserable.  But stack overflow slowly the rescue: gsutil defacl set public-read gs://bucket Unaiherran

How effective is Blogger at sharing now.

This works great for 1 day trips somewhere if you have a fridge and laptop plugged in.

Explaining the Financial Crisis and the Bailout

Pat Dorsey is a pretty smart guy, Director of Equity Research at Morningstar. He explains why the bailout is a safety net for Main Street not a bailout for Wall Street. I understand this I just wish there was a better alternative like getting loans from www.prosper.com. Unfortunately Prosper.com only allows loans of $25,000 which just isn't enough for a lot of companies. Maybe Prosper will expand soon to ease the short term credit crisis. Well here's Pat Dorsey's take on the credit crisis:

Praise Reports: Thanks to an anonymous donation my financial support is up to $600 now! Thank you Mr/Ms Anonymous! A childhood friend of mine contacted me out of the blue to let me know he's in Orlando, too.  I haven't seen him since 1997 so hopefully we can get reaquainted next weekend.  He Googled my name and found my address.  God Bless the Internet! The first two groups of students got back from their trips to Key West and Brazil this past Friday.  Seeing how much these young people have matured spiritually gives me more confirmation that I'm in the right place.  I can see the changes in attitude towards their faith and increased priority to follow Christ and it makes the 14 hour days worth the effort. Also Getting 90 minutes a day of prayer and reading is a lot easier than I thought it would be with our 14 hour days.  Being in a community that supports that kind of thing is so awesome! I'm reading a great book called "Intercession: Thrilling ...
