So about a year ago I came up with an idea for a website and app that would help you find restrooms and see reviews on them. I looked around the internet and found a few but everything seemed to ask for too much into or have too little info. Then I talked to a lot of people about what they wanted and got a lot of feedback about ideas. Then I got to work on the site and the app here is where I am on them.

Site - http://pottyplotter.com/ - Almost done.
App - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.supersimpleapps.pottyplotter.pottyplotter

I would love to hear feedback from everyone about it as there is always room for improvement. You are welcome to add potties to the database and if you placed one in error just let me know and I can remove it.

I just had to show this off to you guys. Nothing like this happened to me on my first day! 10479960_10152255778236024_1874877967094597651_n.jpg
For anyone that cant read it "First I went to school. Then I sat down. and then pulled out my tooth."

So I have used a lot of web server control from Cpanel to Zpanel and many more. I would just like to tell you guys what I think is the best ones.
**Paid **
Interworx
This is a great control panel for everything and looks great.
It comes with support and updates for life of the lease.
Logs everything that happens on the server also has full backups.
Works great on mobile devices
SSL

CONS
You can easily get lost in its GUI

**Free **
Vesta CP
This is a great light panel that gets the job done.
Nginx out of the box
SSL support
auto error pages
great logs and graphs
auto updates
restart services from the panel
full backups

CONS
you need to pay for support
only works on CentOS

If you guys have been using others I would like to hear them.

I have done a lot of upgrades to a app I am building called SCR (Simple Check Register) including making a wordpass page for it. http://simplecheckregister.wordpress.com/ If anyone would like to check it out here is the download link. http://goo.gl/C10m5A I hope once it is done to have it in the play store. I am looking for feedback on it.

My wife is the worst for the exact opposite. The other day she asked me for a changer. I asked why and she said my phone is at 85%.........

Good news!

I got it working. My boss changed the name of the SMTP service to HOLDSMTP then when he changed it back it broke the patch. I pulled my from my backup then reinstalled the patch and everything is working.

I bet she eats through phone batteries like crazy. There is a reason why our iPads get "like new" battery life at five or more years old!

Yeah thats why I never get her anything with the battery built in. I know of this battery rule you are talking about but what you really need to watch for is what the battery is made of. If it is a LiPo battery and you run it to less then %10 when the battery cells die or they get hot. Now with NiMH you can run them to 0 and they will be fine but if you are storing them they need to have somewhat of a charge in them.

Here is a site with more info on batteries then you will ever need

@Dashrender Zoom in and out has been added to the site.

For everyone to test and for the ones that didnt want to sideload it

@scottalanmiller said in Potty Plotter:

Does the app track which toilets are paid and which are free, and how expensive they are?

I can add that I was not aware that places make you pay to go potty.

@scottalanmiller said in Potty Plotter:

We need t-shits with cool slogans like...

"Get the poo, on where to poo."

You mean like this "Never need to go, without knowing where to go"

@thegillion Thanks for the post. I am looking for an alternate option for cpanel too for my dev servers, dont need the expensive cpanel to manage those servers.

This blog post has a review about some of the cpanels available. http://yusufarslan.net/choosing-control-panel-server-management

The one I havent used on that list is Froxlor so I cant say anything about it.

I have used Ajenti but it is so heavy on a server that you need something with about 1 gig just to run the panel. It is more of a all in one panel as you can see all the services on the server. I also saw a lot of crashes when I used it on CentOS 6.5

How about ISPConfig?

That is what HowToForge promotes (I think that they make it.)

http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-6.5-apache2-mysql-php-pureftpd-postfix-dovecot-and-ispconfig3

I have used ISPconfig it is a good panel but the GUI looks like its something out of the 90s and its not a 1 click install like VestaCP. It is nice where you can control other servers on or off site with it but other than that I would use VestCP over it.

So there I was working on a Skynet server that controls the nuclear war heads for the U.S. Just doing preventative maintenance to the @Nic (Nuclear Integrated Controls). When out of no where the "Java Setup" window popped up and the system went into fail safe. Thinking that there was a spy virus the system it toke control away from me. Then it started the launch sequence for the war heads. The U.S.S.R. then saw our war heads going live so they started their sequence too. As I set here telling this story with shit in my pants and knowing I am going to get fired. I wish you all the best of luck with future endeavors.

P.S. find John Connor

P.S.S this is fake but still funny and how java updates piss me off

I think its time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsBB93IqJkE

I have done this all from trains and cars but the ones I love the most are my planes. They force you to not think about anything else when flying because one miss up and you just lost $300+ dollars
this was about 2 years ago when plane and power line tried to be friends.

Using this trick, you can display a folder without a name. There is one caveat however. Your computer needs to have a Numeric keyboard pad.

In case some of you do not know, Numeric keypad or NumPad is the section of the keyboard on the right side, which usually contains 17 keys, viz. 0 to 9, +, -, *, /, ., Num Lock and Enter keys. As most of us would have numpad on our keyboard or laptop, this should not be a concern. so let us proceed with the steps.
To create blank folder names in Windows 8.1, right-click on the Windows desktop and select New > Folder.
The folder will get created on the desktop.
If you right-click the folder, select Rename and enter only spaces, the operating system will not accept it
To remove the name and display a blank name, right-click on the folder and select Rename. Now press the Alt key and from the Numeric keypad, press 0160.
Now press Enter or click anywhere on the desktop.
A folder with no name will be created. Change its icon and you could have a smart looking folder on your desktop.

Hey IT world just in case you didnt know about the Bash bug that is out here is the command to fix it for CentOS

yum -y update bash nss

My job today is to run this all of our servers

So I had a half of pork tenderloin and was looking around for a good way to cook it. so I found good eats video on youtube.
Youtube Video

So when I had it setting for 6 hours I was thinking that "that I am going to mess this up some how" but to my surprise it turned out great.

I would say if you have a pork tenderloin and looking for a way to cook it try this.

I am thinking they need to tell you what is not using SSL when SSL is turned on in a site. Like on facebook or some bank sites. When it says "other resources that are not secure" I want to know what is that resources and can I tell it to not use it.
