The saga of my changing from flip-phone to smartphone continues.

Phone saga. And, yes, I'm a little dense sometimes. I tried to use the Internet on my phone while I was out of wifi range. Turns out I did not have data service. I should have known that I would not have requested service with data when I originally got the service with a flip phone. It cost more for data. But I want data for when our Internet is down so I needed to change plans. Only $5 more but I couldn't figure out how to do it with the instructions I found online. Turns out they changed things and now an agent is required. Chat again and I dreaded it. But this time it was quick and easy.

You may be the person who recommended course.ysap.sh to me. I'm about an hour into it. That took me a week, so my plan to do it in 2 weeks won't happen. But it is fantastic. I already knew a lot of it, but there was a lot I learned, too. It's rapid fire, but so rich.

Looks like my "tiny experiment" is showing me that I do want to learn Bash scripting, at least a bit of it.

Thank you for this recommendation. I'm now at the place where we start our first script.

New neighbors moved into the rental house next door a couple days ago. I saw the car and a couple of very small bikes. Yesterday afternoon I got the first glimpse of humans. I saw the backs of two little blonde heads in a large stroller in the carport. Then I saw a fit-looking, probably youngish person with long hair putting on something, maybe socks and shoes. And then I saw the stroller moving down their drive way with the young person on a skateboard pushing the stroller. And out my other window I saw them turn onto the small paved road that our houses are on and take off at speed. It looked like there was great joy in that stroller.

Looks like I am in for fun times!

Trying to ask about a BSSG issue at brew.bsd.cafe, but I get:
429 Too Many Requests
Also login says site can't be reached.

Nothing urgent, so don't worry about it on my account.

I got my first taste of what must be an LLM at work. I tried to buy my first smartphone for an upgrade on my Verizon account. The payment part went fine, but at the end of the viewing of agreements and such there was a notice that "Oops. Something went wrong. Call phone number 800-xxx." I called and met my opponent who won hands down. It was all "Sorry, I don't understand..." I think it understood "Goodbye" when I said that, but I didn't wait to hear a response. Gads!! I have tried sending an email to the address I found for them. No auto reply yet, so I guess there will be no reply. I may try chat again when I regain my equilibrium. That was what I tried first before attempting to buy the phone and after being handed off to the 4th person who told me that they were sorry they couldn't help because they were the wrong department, I closed the chat.

I should really post this on my blog. :-) I think I'll start with this and then fill in the happy ending.

Do you have any advice on learning programming in bash? Did you learn in a course or a book or some other way? I've just spent a couple weeks with a book on Perl and have decided that since I'm more familiar with bash, it might be better to learn a bit of it.
