@JaredBusch Love this!!! I just got engaged to a Japanese Hawaiian man. His family is mainly Japanese speaking so I would like to learn and understand better.

I believe a picture like this is in my future since his mother has been hinting at it.

@JaredBusch You seem to enjoy the Japanese culture. I do as well! Like you, I am also waiting for Duolingo to add Japanese to their language list.
I'll definitely check out these photographers. Thank you!

I have FB...I surprisingly don't use it often, even when bored. I recently deleted the app off my phone because it was just taking up space. I maybe log in a handful of times a year and it's usually by accident.

I use instagram more because I want to see pictures but now it's becoming overloaded with people taking screenshots of the notepad on their phone to share their feelings or share a damn quote that they pretend to live by. UGH! I just want to see some interesting pictures.

@Ambarishrh based off of builtwith.com I am working with ASP.NET

Look what we found in a box today.

AWESOME FIND!!!!

@Ambarishrh I have ruled out PHP as the language since I do not see any PHP tags or writing at the top of the pages. I'll check out the site you referenced and see if that helps any. Thanks!!!

@JessWaterfordTech that example shows PHP. Is that the language that you are using?

I'm sorry for this question: How do I determine what language my site uses? I am learning as I go and have not been formally trained on how to perform theses tasks.

The last time someone did that their server crashed.

It was a fishing article, if I remember.

Yes, I can't have this happen, my work would KILL ME! I was thinking of moving towards the Google reCAPTCHA since they posted a somewhat easy tutorial here: http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-integrate-no-captcha-recaptcha-in-your-website--cms-23024

I think this one is easy enough to use. Has anyone had experience using this CAPTCHA method?

@scottalanmiller YUP! I'm back Struggling just a little bit and trying to expand my knowledge within the world of IT. @BRRABill yes it is not Wordpress

I am a super beginner at programming and coding. I have taken some classes (used Team Treehouse and some CodeAcademy) although that was a while ago. I am able to edit and manipulate web pages in Wordpress. I cheat and find the codes I need online and I make it happen.

My recent project/task was to fix broken links on one of our sites. I had my first experience roaming through our site that is hosted on Azure and learned basics on how to use FileZilla to transfer files from the hosted server to edit. The links were fixed and all was grand! A couple weeks later, our sales team had over 20,000 spam emails come through from the contact forms. Naturally, I was under the spotlight because I was the last one to make changes although our site has never had a CAPTCHA form.

I am reading materials online about CAPTCHA but adding it to the site is turning out to be a little more difficult than I originally hoped for. I was reading a previous post from SAM about how to pick programming languages and I realized, I am probably not finding the right info because I do not know how to identify the language. I'm also lost because I know what I want to do (or need to do) but I do not know how to correctly describe it to Google.

Is there a guide that will help me determine the language or something that can show me a step by step tutorial how I can add a CAPTCHA to our forms? This all makes me realize that Wordpress is a piece of cake!

This reminds me of when McDonald's used to have their shaker salads. I loved those things. This leads me to believe I would love this bucket of salad. I almost hit my forehead leaning in to the screen to see what's in it.

It's been a long, hungry day.

Was the website for this launched yet? When is registration opening?

They are becoming a major cause of death too, which is bizarre. In NYC you see the tourists with them everywhere. They are actually useful for a lot of things, though. I have the GoPro one.

This is true, they do have many uses. I got one for my birthday a little while ago and it works great to open and close the vents in my room and bathroom. "I have the power!", exclaimed short me in the morning.

Vendors aren't willing to take part for under 100 (the ones we want to spend $$)

I do like the intimacy of a smaller show. The quality of conversations you have with people can have a lot of value in them. We had a meeting to day discussing our trade show/events for the coming year. Hopefully we can nail down the month at least so I can make sure it is reserved for the show.

So far it sounded positive that Waterford Tech will be there.

Is it a coincidence that National Bread Stick Day and Singles day fall on the same day? Bread sticks make all things better!

I'll be holding my bread basket tonight

Maybe this is just me personally, I think the ad at the bottom is too far to the left. Perhaps it would look better if it was centered with the thread or stretched to fit the thread (not page) if possible.

@scottalanmiller Nope, a normal "L"

"L" for Lassi.

I know one of the possible reasons for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is due to asphyxiation of the child during sleep. To prevent that, avoiding stomach sleeping is best and snug, low blanket wrapping is recommended. I was hoping to see if the box limited their side to side movements when they slept to keep them on their back. Now I am just guessing.

The box looks nice. Do Finnish families sleep on the floor like Asian cultures do?

I feel the article didn't quite explain how the box saves the infants lives. I was interested in the science behind it. I read it a couple times, maybe I missed it.

@scottalanmiller @RojoLoco It's called a Dirty Chai. I had it hot so I guess it's a Hot and Dirty Chai. The 2 shots were to give it a little kick. Has plenty of steamed milk in it because it's a latte.
