Tech Tip: Troubleshooting

This week, I had the issue of getting pictures to display on Google Sites. I was using Safari as my browser, and when I uploaded the pictures into my site, I could see them; however, when I published the site, the pictures would no longer display.

In addition, when I tried to update the banner with a picture, I would try to either upload or search for a picture, but it would get caught in a cycle of resizing for viewing.

Solution: Switching browsers to Google Chrome immediately fixed the problem, and when I uploaded my pictures through this browser, they were able to display. This was confirmed by an outside source.

I re-did this for this year, and my pictures display on my story for The Vajra.

Week 10 Story: The Wise and Foolish Trader

The NASDAQ had already fallen 1200 basis points, the biggest crash in 10 years. Tech stocks fell further and further, with nothing but a sea of red on the historically upbeat ticker feed above the trading floor. Shouts from one trader to another rained out, but they were more out of desperation than information. The entire market was crashing, and no one could do anything about it. While many traders were winners and losers of this false-flag correction, two in particular stand out. A trader at Goldman and a trader at JP Morgan. Both accosted by a trader at Morgan Stanley, but only one escaping with his dignity- and more importantly, his money. One day, Salomon was sitting at his desk, and he noticed that NASDAQ and Dow futures were trading lower than normal. He ringed up one of his friends, Bill, at Goldman, and he mentioned how he was surprised that the market seemed to be going lower. Bill was also surprised. But the two were different in their reaction. Salomon was excited to s...

Week 6: Reading Notes, Mahabharata A

This week, we start reading a new Indian class, the Mahabharata, I chose to read the PDE (public domain edition) again, and this serves as notes for the first twenty stories within the epic. During the reading of the Ramayana, I would pre-read the plot on Wikipedia, this time, I will try to read only the PDE first, then the Wikipedia story if necessary. One thing that immediately stuck out was the high character turnover, compared to the Ramayana. In the Ramayana, there were not too many different characters, and the plot seemed to revolve around the characters. In contrast, the Mahabharata seems to have the characters revolve around a different plot. This seems to highlight the role that karma and the Gods play in the fate of the other people as their wills are shaped to the God's destiny. A second thing that stuck out was the role of curses in this story as well. In the ninth story of the PDE, "Pandu and His Wives", there is a similar role of a character killing som...

Reading Notes: A Different Ramayana A

This week, we read a different kind of the Ramayana, allowing us to see a different telling of the story. I chose to read: Ramayana by Sister Nivedita . The main thing that stands out right from the get go is that this story is told in a very objective manner. There isn't too much emphasis on the rhyming or song like style of the story like there was in the previous version of the Ramayana, and it takes away to some degree the spirit of the story as a whole; however, I do believe that I comprehend this version of the story better. For instance, the beginning sets up very well, and I believe that makes for a more comprehensible story. This does bring up an interesting question of story of how crucial comprehension is to making a good story. The Ramayana that we read last week had a stronger feeling of spirit, the poetry and the language seemed to immerse the reader in the story. The intuitive flow is more smooth and it doesn't feel as jutted. However, I can comprehend this v...
