I was hoping to get all of the programming done regarding email notifications, but it will have to wait for the end of the week. I've removed the "under construction" page, and the main page of friendoflearning.com is live now.
I originally programmed the site so that anyone could register without any action on my part, but I changed that a few weeks ago because I wanted the site to grow slowly, and I wanted to manage the membership through locals.com. However, my mother's death has caused me to rethink that, and to accelerate my plans. I restored the ability of anyone to register on their own.
After I made that change, I tested it and found that there was an error in the code. It wasn't entering a particular field which was set to not allow null values, but that field didn't have a default value. Everything looked like it was working, except that the changes weren't taking place in the database. So I fixed that problem by altering the field in the database to have a default value of 0.
Next I need to test the all of the functions in the program, particularly the autoscheduling. In one script I found a line that triggers autoscheduling but which was commented out. Autoscheduling was one of the most useful features of the program, so I need to make sure there's at least a minimal level of it. I actually think it can be programmed to autoschedule all of the math from addition onwards, but that project will have to wait a bit.
Tonight I have to do some more testing, and I'll probably respond to some posts in other communities. I'd like to get the instructional video done tomorrow, and then the crowdfunding video the day after than, but I seldom get anything done as quickly as I'd like to.
Dr. Drew interviewed Scott Adams recently, and Scott Adams mentioned the absurdity that Republicans went to overthrow the government on Jan 6, but they neglected to bring their guns. On the first or second anniversary of the event, that alleged oversight made the narrative appear absurd to me, so I made a "video" that was supposed to be audio from January 6, captured on a video camera from which the lens cap had not been removed. I'm posting it again just because.
While I was waiting on hold to talk with a human at the IRS, I decided to put some food out for the dogs. I set the full bag of dog food on a chair, and walked away to get the bowls. When I turned around I saw the bag slowly tipping over, spilling much of its contents onto the floor. Fortunately I had help cleaning it up.
The main task for today is to begin revising McGuffey's Fourth Eclectic Reader. It may take a couple of weeks, possibly more. I still have to work at Publix, and next week I start a new job in the memory care unit of a rehab/nursing home facility, and I'll also be working at Publix at least one night.
After that I'll take a look at the double-slit experiment, and see if there is an interpretation that is consistent with my theory of wave physics.
Also, I came across the attached meme, which I had created two or three years (or so) ago. I thought I'd include it because I still like it.
I recently proposed a theory of matter and energy called Wave Physics. In this theory, the only things in the universe are energy and the universal membrane, which is the medium through which all energy is transfered and stored.
Tonight I realized that according to this theory, everyone and everything in the universe are connected to each other at all times. Things that would be impossible according to the standard model of particle physics, are very possible in the universe of wave physics. Psychic transmissions and the power of prayer are physically possible and make sense if the universe works in any way like the theory I proposed.
If you've ever heard the phone ring and felt sure who it was before answering it, and were proven correct, this makes sense in wave physics, but not with particle physics. If you've ever looked intently at someone, and had that person quickly turn and look directly at you (I have), that phenomenon makes sense if all of us are parts of the same vast, ...
I was only scheduled to work three days this week, so I decided to work on a theory I'd been playing around with for fun over the last few years. I'd never been a big fan of the standard model of particle physics, so a few years ago, just for fun, I thought about exploring some alternate ideas, with zero training and zero experiments.
This week I wrapped up a few loose ends, and posted it to a community I created called Wave Physics. Originally I had called it Alternative Physics, but I changed my mind, so the link still has alternativephysics in it, but the community name is Wave Physics. I'd love for people to pay $5.00 a month to tell me how wrong I am.

I also posted it on my personal website:
