Today I learned

Weedpacket The frame work I'm using for my site uses auto loaders, I'm trying to learn more about them now. I have to admit I've learnt a lot from doing this, cron jobs, more htaccess stuff, how to install a bunch of extensions onto my local host, the basics of putty and composer, a bunch more. It's been fun so far and the site now has 27 registered users some of which actually still post things

https://gotsocial.co.uk/ is not the same as https://www.gotsocial.co.uk/

OAuth Login likes one but not the other

Actually why is that?

Same reason why http://www.phpbuilder.com/ is not the same as http://board.phpbuilder.com/

You have one registered domain (gotsocial.co.uk), but there can be multiple hosts at that domain doing different things, each identified by a different host name (gotsocial.co.uk, www.gotsocial.co.uk, etc.gotsocial.uk…). Or to look at it another way, you've got a domain registered with Nominet UK, which identifies gotsocial.co.uk with your server, and your server subdivides the domain further by putting part of it under a www subdomain.

Weedpacket oh I get it, it threw me a little when I was logging in with mobile everything worked but on laptop it didn't, I fixed it but still made me jump at the time

Today I learned via post I have a second meeting for funding, need to sit and justify everything I'm going to ask for....I have no idea what to ask for

Today I learned, just because it works on localhost doesn't mean it will automatically work on live server

• What a HTTP 416 HTTP response is (triggered by a Slack integration)
• That India is all on a time zone that is UTC +5:30

Today I found out about this guide

Today I learnt (think I learnt) it's harder to fix someone else code and get it to work properly rather than write it from scratch

There's a whole lot of "it depends" with that. Sometimes it might be true. Other times, you find out the reason the old code is such a complicated mess is that the thing being solved for is very complicated; and then you spend 5 times as much as time as you budgeted for while figuring out how to get it all to work in your new version and finding fixing all the bugs you introduced while doing so. (Voice of experience here 😉 )

NogDog right now with this thing I'm doing every day is like that lol, oh as an aside what was the wonderful form they "found"? 🧐

Who knows? There were three URLS all different, but all looking like they'd squirrel around in mess of redirects and SEO callbacks if you trusted them anywhere near a browser, all with idiotic domain names, all with the same Panamanian registrant.
