This segment on my blog will be part of a large series on using the Google Maps API. Part one will cover rendering a basic map with a few places I have been to in 2018. First thing is first, a lot of information on the API can be found here. Where to start was the question, well I needed a list of all of the countries in the world along with their Latitude (LAT) and Longitude (LONG). I was…

It is located here; The staff was awesome, they will even play against you and they are…

VMWare has an elaborate guide to installing vCenter Server Appliance 6.7, for a small lab setting I have condensed this into a few pages containing mostly pictures. Ensure you meet the minimum system requirements; 2 vCPUs, 10GB of memory, and 250GB of disk space. I have thin provisioned the disks in this tutorial and installed on a 120GB disk I picked up off of Amazon on sale. Step 1: Load the autoinstaller Step 2: Read over the EULA, check the…

Lending Club – 9 Months Later

Lending Club – 9 Months Later

Comments 0 Comment

9 Months ago I decided to give Lending Club a try to see what it could return for me on money I had sitting idle. This is no way to get rich overnight, but if you have some capital laying around it’s a decent place to put it. On average my return shows between 6-8% I have been relatively satisfied with the results so far. I started with an initial $5000, and moved more capital over to increase my return…

Marrying a Kuwaiti Women as a Non-Kuwaiti Man – K1

Marrying a Kuwaiti Women as a Non-Kuwaiti Man – K1

Comments 0 Comment

Back in August of 2015 I had posted about marrying a Kuwaiti women in Kuwait without the consent of her guardian. The posting has been well received and gotten a few comments and a storm of emails over the course of the last year or so. I personally never finished out the process, due to business travel taking priority over a sheet of paper made difficult to obtain by loads of red tape. It seems like every time you make…

PHP to Scrape Instagram Content

PHP to Scrape Instagram Content

Comments 0 Comment

I have become fascinated with scraping content off of Instagram mainly for curiosity and helping my wife analyze her competitors pages in terms of hashtags, ranking, and image placement, times posted, etc. I was certain something had been written for this before that was free, but it seems like there are bits and pieces out there in python, php, and a variety of other languages. Not to mention many paid solutions. I stumbled into a piece on github: https://gist.github.com/cosmocatalano/4544576 and…

ScaleTrader DUST and ERX

ScaleTrader DUST and ERX

Comments 0 Comment

ScaleTrader has performed very well, however like with all commodities the focus has shifted to oil and energy. DUST had opened and closed 15 short positions with a target of $100 each through its trial run. It net approximately $100 per day with little to no work, but with the shift in gold prices and the ETF itself over the last few days I may need to relook at the range it trades within so that it can remain profitable…

Lending Club

In an effort to diversify investment ideas for growth and returns I have decided to give Lending Club a try. Signing up for an account was really straight forward and easy, funding the account took a few days. I started with $5,000, this makes me eligible for their $50 bonus to invest. I didn’t want to do too much work as I already spend lots of time after work looking at charts for ETF’s so I opted to enable automated…

DUST ScaleTrader Results

DUST ScaleTrader Results

Comments 0 Comment

Today I am sharing the results of the ScaleTrader post I made earlier this week. DUST is a relatively volatile stock so it was a good candidate to try it out on. I crossed out two trades in the report that were done manually and were not done by ScaleTrader. These equate to an adjustment of -496.55 off of the total realized P/L, so the actual realized for ScaleTrader alone is 592.94 on DUST. Not bad for two full trading…
