Hello Bruce.
I think this is better than Slack. Thanks for setting it up.
I wanted to ask you how can I learn the language you used to add that program for my online tracking?
Any resource books/materials I can read?
I plan on acquiring a VPS from Dell. You ever heard of a firewall called SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge? It's supposed to be what allows/enables the remote access for remote employees to login to my server.
Kindest regards,
Ed.

Good to hear from you, Ed.
For your online tracking, I wrote some code in NodeJS and used the pico engine as a web server. Initially, I had planned to create a pico for each of your shipments, but came up with a simpler solution that just watches for some file creation and copies those files into a directory from which the web server provides them on demand from a browser. Using picos to create web applications is discussed in a PicoStack blog, but that would have been over-kill for your needs.
Wish that I could remember better exactly what was done. I have not heard about the firewall but understand that you would use that instead of the remote desktop approach.
Many thanks and best wishes, Bruce
P.S. you are a collaborator in the GitHub repo that holds the code for this: https://github.com/b1conrad/wccargo

Hi Bruce! I wanted to change the address listed on our tracking webpage. We moved our office. Just wanted to remove the address. I was trying to learn your coding so I could try to do it myself and not bother you. Otherwise what you made for our tracking site is fantastic. Business has been a little strange for the last year. Hopefully we’ll return to some normalcy or better yet improve before the end of the year. Kindest regards, Ed.

I see. Congratulations on the move, and hope things return to normal. Would you remind me of the web address of one of the pages that would need to change? I've lost my notes.

Hello Bruce! Things are picking up again and it’s been a busy couple weeks for us. I’m not really sure what is happening in international trade but news media mostly predicts dire news but here we are … much busier than this time last couple years. It’s almost like the Germans and Japanese just woke up and are back to business. This page is the only one that has our old address. I would like to remove the address and just leave the email address and tel nos. http://tracking.mastunited.com/com.mastunited.tracking/index.html Let me know what I can do.

Ed, since I'm retired now, I'm almost always available. Would you like to choose a day and time and we can get together on a call. I can walk you through making the change in the CPanel for mastunited.com. It will be easy to do. I can show you how to make that part of that page look like this

Hi Bruce! That would be great! How about later today if you’re free? You’re an hour ahead of me so let’s say 2:00pm your time? Ed.
