sarcasm/Its a joke

I even tried running

Sudo Copy Test.txt>comx

i figured it out

Copy test.txt \com?

Is the correct syntax, also Com ports are exclusive. SO Since Aloha was using it to run the printer, it wasn't going to print test.txt

This tells me that it's most likely an aloha problem because the Printer isnt printing different characters now .

Odd. I didn't realize that you're running a 'nix' OS. Isn't your printer mapped in /dev/ I believe that would be your destination and I don't remember the syntax. There's tons of Linux gurus here that would know.

excuse my noobness - What is a "Nix" OS?

Anything linux.

I'm running Windows 10..

Ahh. My mistake

Nah you're good - I made a joke about using Sudo ( because in linux... you get it right?)
so It's easily confused

Coffee Number 3 just went down, I'm in an unusually Great mood today ..

Oh A year ago I started my current job .

If you're looking at getting into programming, I'd highly recommend learning to use git (no prize for guessing where GitHub got it's name.)

I'm just learning something new - Someone told me I should try coding so I figured what bad could it do for me to look at it and do a few lessons.

I'm guessing here<--! because I honestly dont know... I've only see it around a bunch --> - that GitHub got it's name from codes like -

git https://github.com/getsomeradomcode/fromthisperson/himom

?

You need an objective, and "learning" isn't it.

This is amazingly true. Coding is SO hard to learn "in a vacuum." But decently easy to learn when there is a reason.

I learned by thinking of some project to do as I learn. Figuring out things as you need as well.

If you know nothing at all about coding in any language - you're advice is " just go do it"?
Without even know the basic's of how to make something Print such as (in python3)

print("Hello ML")

you don't think someone should atleast learn basics before starting on actual projects?

also - Any ideas on a project i can work on with python? ( I took SAM's advice and started playing with Python - funny enough, It comes kind of naturally.

what software do you use to write code?

and our vendor basically just screwed us.
fantastic.
happy Friday eve .

Name and shame?

NCR -
They provide hosted solutions - to me that means, they handle everything for these solutions.
well, one of these is real a time updates app on your phone.
WE had a customer that added a new store and requested it,
They screwed up the entire app for all 9 of his stores and after 3 weeks finally got it fixed.
then he asked for them to assign access levels to the specific sites for their managers respectively.
Well after 4+ weeks of him and us fighting for them to fix it
and someone telling them that they were working on making the changes to help him
someone came out and said "we don't make these changes for liability"
He's said "I've never made a change and your tech said he was working on it, so now all of a sudden after 4 years it's changed? I think I'm done."
everything was kosher until they added this newest store into the fold.
then it all went to shit and they dont want to fix it.

They are going to cost us 9 sites + him expanding with more stores and concepts.

Wait, don't tell me .... because PCI.

They didn't give any other reason than "Liability" on changing access levels to an App on your phone through enterprise. - I dont think PCI is connected to the phone app because its just real time sales/labor/prod mix reporting that owner/managers can look at and see their sales for the day.

watched "Aquaman" for the first time last night .
WIth a 4 year old - so will try to watch it again tonight
first glance- it's not a bad movie.

I used to use a 40 cup percolator (the kind you use for church socials) every day. Trust me, there comes a point when you say "enough" and 40 cups is about it.

Thanks for the advice

If you push through to cup 100, you start to glow and everything around you goes in slow motion. Handy for saving people from burning buildings and whatnot.

so the secret to becoming The Flash is 100 cups of coffee?

Anyone ever try black rice? It's awesome, looks kinda purple when it's cooked.

Say Whaaaaaaat?

yes, you have to soak it first otherwise it takes forever. and its kinda pricey in my state.

What state are you in?
I've never even see thing before. Looks amazing

Utah.

i gotcha

According to Goggle (google) there is one place in Lincoln that sells black rice.
Thats an hour drive for a bag of rice?
I'll pass.

you can order it on thrive market for like $5.99

I found some locally, One place sells it for 4.19 and it's gluten free
whatever that means

Happy hump-day !
