Back to the drawing board

Welp. It’s time to start over I guess.

I’ll be honest. I haven’t had a lot of action on the job front. Part of that is re-locating to the east coast from the midwest. Part of it is just not needing to get a real job… but… it’s time.

So, I’m going back to my Java book and starting from the beginning, and seeing where that takes me. Wish me luck!

What a difference one letter can make…

So, while I was going to Prime Digital Academy, I made a thing. Nothing earth-shatteringly-amazing… But it was a thing.

About a year ago, it stopped working.

I hadn’t done anything with it for quite a while. In fact, I hadn’t even been to Codepen to look at it. Regardless, it wasn’t working. At all.

I didn’t have a lot of patience, and it wasn’t that important anyway, so I just ignored it. Last night, I finally decided to fix it.

So, what was wrong with it? Well, I didn’t know!

Finally, I found the error. It was in the console:

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://codepen.io/gfrethem/pen/JYKOyJ?editors=1111' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure XMLHttpRequest endpoint 'http://swapi.co/api/films/'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

Aha! Codepen was requesting in HTTPS and the response was coming back in HTTP! How, oh how could I fix this!?!?

I changed one letter. In two places. Oy.
