Playing with HTML5

 This is me going "Hey, let's open up VS Code and just mess around." Here is the website for this project.

 

Animal Crossing: New Horizons villager Pashmina looks confused at a bookshelf

Let's look at what I did!

 

 
    background-blend-modesoft-light;

This will fade out the image to reflect the color of the background with the background-color property.

The hovering effect over the informative banners came from here. It's not new, I remember nth-child properties. Everyone of them has the same effect placed upon them.

Also old are marquees with loop counts -

marquee behavior="scroll" direction="right" loop="500"

I call it 'The Eternal Marquee'

Direction is new. I have seen text go up and down, and you can do it with images as well, but I stuck to right.

Something in my code is overriding the hover effects in my ps class (the scrolling images):

 CSS:

.ps :hover{
    opacity100%;
    background-blend-modemultiply;  
  }

 HTML:

 <img src="l1.jpg" width="923" height="519" alt="Natural" class="ps" />

 

Putting everything between divs didn't work either;

 

<div class="ps"
        <img src="l1.jpg" width="923" height="519" alt="Natural" />
        /* omitted for brevity */
    </div

 

 

The hover effect works for links, so I'm not sure what.

a :hover {
    colororange
}

 Let's look at the CSS for a marquee -

It's too much to put all here, and the details are for better control of webpage elements. This is particularly text based .

I did manage to put a temporary top to bottom marquee on the H1 element.


Let's focus on what I did learn - Responsive sizing.

So when you adjust the viewport, the informative banners will now adjust!

 

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">     <title>The Great Library</title>

 

    width100%;

 That soft light CSS filter above.

 

The animation effect to pop things up.

Connecting IoT Devices to a Registration Server (Packet Tracer, Cisco)

In Packet Tracer, a demo software made by Cisco Systems. It certainly has changed a lot since 2016. It's almost an Olympic feat to even get started with it now, but it does look snazzy. This is for the new CCNA, that integrates, among other things, IoT and Automation, which I've worked on here before. Instructions here . I don't know if this is an aspect of "Let's make sure people are paying attention and not simply following blindly", or an oversight - The instructions indicate a Meraki Server, when a regular one is the working option here. I have to enable the IoT service on this server. Also, we assign the server an IPv4 address from a DHCP pool instead of giving it a static one. For something that handles our IoT business, perhaps that's safer; Getting a new IPv4 address every week or so is a minimal step against an intruder, but it is a step. There are no devices associated with this new server; In an earlier lab (not shown), I attached them to 'H

Building, Breaking, and Building A CRM with Retool

 I like no- or low-code solutions to things. I've often wanted to simply push a button or move some GUI around and have the code implement itself.  I've thought about building something that's like a customer relationship management (CRM) system for keeping up with my network better than my little spreadsheet where I click links and then go like something. The general idea in this CRM Development is:  To have a GUI to add people to a NRM (Network Relationship Management).       Attach it to a database (MySQL is what I went with eventually using Amazon Relational Database service, but you can use PostGRES, and probably others).     Make sure components are connected to each other in the retool interface. This video is a good start. Watching the tutorial video, heard some SQL commands and went 'Oh no 😳" before going "Wait I know basic SQL", which is good, because you'll see.  When you get set up, there's a plethora of resources you can use -- Incl
