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:
    1. 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.
    1. Firebase: https://firebase.google.com/support/  | These people don’t seem to have a portal for tickets… argh.
    2. 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

Bethel is even cooler than expected

Within 90 minutes of landing in Redding, I learned of Bethel students engaged in business solutions to extreme poverty. Monday I heard a powerful teaching from Bill Johnson on how life on Earth offers us the only chance to worship God in the midst of our pain, suffering, loss, and confusion.  When we are in heaven we won't have the chance to give God that gift.  Bill's teaching reaffirmed this ongoing theme that suffering matters.  Suffering creeps me out but I can not deny that suffering somehow leads to intimacy with Christ. Monday night gave me a few a hours to meet a great house church where blue collar types mingled with Bethel alum. Prophecy and healing flowed amidst their faith and love.  God gave me a chance to pray for healing for one of the guys. This tested my faith when his knee actually got a little worse in the first couple of minutes of prayer. That hurt my pride.  Fortunately during the second bout of prayer his knee healed completely.  V...

Royal Family Kid's Camp

For the last week of August, I spent 5 days tending to foster kids at camp organized by Lake Avenue Church and Royal Family Kids Camp . Our entire mission that week was to be the positive, encouraging memories for children enduring childhoods of questionably dark times filled with unknown forms of abuse. I couldn't tell just by interacting with them what they were dealing with in the other 51 weeks of their year, but I do know that when these campers come back next year, they will remember specific conversations they had with us counselors. My primary job was looking after one particular child, “D-man”. Connecting with D-man was new for me. I'm not a parent. I have no pets, not even plants to care for. Being consumed with thinking about another living being for a week straight was completely new to me. D-man is ADD and required the extra herding that comes with not hearing people when they are calling your name. He's quite the "ladies man" a...
