Thanks! EDIT: It looks like most things are fixed, but any outlook/hotmail emails aren't going out. Sorry everyone! I'm trying to deal w/ the issue but it looks like it has to do with an IP Mailgun uses being blocked by MSFT.

tried to register but not getting any emails back

Well that is annoying :(

Can you check your spam folder for anything from jon@calhoun.io?

If you keep having issues email me (same email as above) and I'll manually get you a login link.

I don't know about msla, but i have my Gopher client right next to my Web browser[1] (yes the workspace is called Web, but they are both in the sort of same category of applications so i have them together :-P) and i use it quite often. I mainly read "phlogs" though, but there is generally a lot of stuff to read when bored. [1] https://i.imgur.com/Ck1UDhg.png

What gopher client is that? It looks really nice but searching for "Little Gopher Client" didn't bring up anything.

Mine :-), you can find it here:

thanks for the response, i got a link using a different email address, my Hotmail one just wont get anything back, i watched the first vid(the quizz program) and liked the way you explained things,very clear, i have basic knowledge of golang but need practice to refresh and learn more! , im also interested in web development with Go, do you think these vids are good preparation material for your web development stuff? like a roadmap kind of thing? Thanks, keep up the good work!

I'm getting "Sorry Because of its privacy settings, this video cannot be played here." in both Chrome and Firefox. What's up with that?

It is probably an extension of some sort. I have heard this can happen with Privacy Badger, but I'm sure other extensions can cause the issue. I think it is a fairly common issue with embedded Vimeo videos, but I haven't had a chance to look at alternative options/settings and hosting videos myself comes with a whole other set of issues. Just FYI I am not personally doing a bunch of tracking here. I don't even think…

I turned off NoScript, and uBlock doesn't show any blocked requests (the only privacy add-ons I have.)

Still no video.

The player loads and shows an image, the video bar shows background video loading progress and even clicking to certain parts of the video shows different image clips. Just no video. So I've just given up.

If you are getting value out of Gophercises I don't see any reason why the web dev course would be out of your reach. There are definitely exercises in Gophercises that are much harder than anything we code in a vast majority of the web dev course.

The only thing that might make the web dev course harder is the fact that we end up with a much larger codebase, but none of the individual code is significantly more challenging in any way.

I want to have 20+ exercises by the time the course is complete. There are about 13 planned as of now, so if you have suggestions or topics that you think would make good Go programming exercises I'd love to hear them =D EDIT: And in other news, a few people have reported the welcome email going to their spam so if it happens to you please let me know and I'll continue looking into why it is happening.

A WebSockets / realtime / push/pull exercise would be a good addition.

So like a simple, no-auth, realtime chat app using websockets to push data to each client? That sounds feasible in an hour.

You have two SPF TXT records on calhoun.io, causing SPF to fail: "v=spf1 include:mailgun.org include:servers.mcsv.net ~all" "v=spf1 include:servers.mcsv.net ?all" Get rid of the second one. Also, setup DMARC: https://dmarcian.com/dmarc-inspector/ Edit: Looks fixed now!

Thanks! EDIT: It looks like most things are fixed, but any outlook/hotmail emails aren't going out. Sorry everyone! I'm trying to deal w/ the issue but it looks like it has to do with an IP Mailgun uses being blocked by MSFT.

You need to combine both SPF records into one record that allows both sources.
