1\/13\/2024<\/strong> Shopping Cart for NYGC<\/strong>. Using OpenCart which was provided by Hostmonster. We've already had Authorize.net setup months ago as our merchant account. I tested the Simple Checkout Feature which works great, but because we need more fields and cart options at checkout, an open source shopping cart such as OpenCart is needed. But unfortunately<\/a>, OpenCart 4 didn't have Authorize.net as payment extension included, so I had to add a downgraded version OpenCart3, which has Authorize.net support.
Some great guide<\/a> on setting Authorize.net on OpenCart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/10\/2024<\/strong> Came across (from my frequent newsletter going.com) this shocking news (or maybe old news) that Laksa <\/strong>is celebrated<\/a> in Darwin<\/a> <\/strong>Australia<\/a>. Apparently this is due to its close proximity with Asia as well as long multicultural history. I suppose Darwin has just become my favorite city in Australia!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/4\/2024<\/strong> NYGC's plan to move from Access DB to Salesforce<\/strong>\/etc.
It's been expected since cloud service became popular and especially after Covid19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the 3rd week we're on video conference with Salesforce. Their presentation team, Hubert, is very slow. But some key questions in general:
1. Who can customize the layout, how much backend access do we get (they do have api<\/a>)? Mass data import?
2. If done by Salesforce tech, how fast can a change (i.e. forms, etc.) can be expected? Cost?
3. Alert\/notification system and mass emails
4. Are all user activities being logged\/tracked?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Been having severe cold<\/strong> (I think) since last Sunday 12\/24. By now, I think I'm recovering now as lesser nasal congestion than before (12\/30 Sat) though still wake up full of mucus and throat itches during the days. Been trying to study on the anatomy of nostrils. It seems that this is always a mystery to me no matter how hard I want to look into. What are the turbinates really for? There seems to be some great filtering barrier between the nasal passage and my throat. And what's with the sinuses? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"NOSE<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are more greenish\/beige colors mucus than I ever before this whole week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update 1\/5 Nadia went to urgent care near Walmart. The we went to Rite-Aid at night to pick up the prescribed medication: Bromphen<\/a>. She said it isn't effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

update 1\/7<\/strong> on my cold, I'm recovering after 2 whole weeks. I don't recall having this bad before. Coughing\/sneezing out mucus every morning. It became so frequent that I even had to set a plastic cup next to me at all time because I'm tired of going to spit in the toilet everytime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, now Nadia's gotten it too. Seems to be getting worse since 2-3 days ago. I think it will also take 2 weeks for her to recover. She just keeps coughing now. I cooked soups: spareribs+white radish (\u767d\u841d\u535c)+parsley+water crest+onions+ginger, which she likes. And also mung bean rice (\u7eff\u8c46\u7c73\u6c64). I also gave her coconut drink with slices of cucumber. All these inspired from the below video, hopefully it's not nonsense:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
