Just Curious - What does everyone do for a living?

I am in Africa and my continant needs new ideas, I was about to launch a big project with Dolphin, but suddenly Andrew has switched to una, I took a lot of time to reorient the same ideas towards una. now it's okay, the project is ambitious and I consider una as wikimedia that made wikipedia. I sacrificed a lot to stop, if I could find good partners in my country, the African equivalent of these big tech companies (amazon, ebay, alibaba, google) would have already emerged.

Andrew and his team have made a very interresent tool, I just hope it will continue like other popular open source project

I will do my project, my livelihood

I am a freelance web developer / marketer living in Phillipines with a team focusing on helping clients for all their customization needs.

Highly focusing on Dolphin for 8 years but now starting to do projects using UNA (mastering still) so we can expand our services.

Andrew Boon,

Learning Sanskrit:

I learnt it over a period of years mostly by self-study but also by using meditation to revive knowledge of Sanskrit from previous births. However, the interest in Sanskrit could be divided into two parts, learning vocal Sanskrit and learning literary Sanskrit. Just as a person can be fluent in English and still fail an English grammar and usage exam, the same goes for any other language. A person may be expert in writing English language and be terrible at pronouncing English words because of not being exposed early on to the correct vocalization of the language.

The point is to make a decision as to if one wants to learn to speak Sanskrit or to translate from Sanskrit. To learn to speak it one should have access to a pandit or someone who speaks it fluently and one must also learn the alphabet, which is quite different to the layout in English.

If one wants to understand Sanskrit literature like Bhagavad Gita or Yoga Sutras, then one should learn the grammar regarding the breakdown of nouns, verbs and other features of the language.

This seems to be a big task but it is encouraging to know that it is a dead language, where it is not increasing in vocabulary like say English. Sanskrit has root words (dhatus) which are in a limited number. If one carefully studies these, one can easily master the language because the combinations of these root syllables makes all the words in the language.

One thing that helps with the Sanskrit texts is to get translations which have word-for-word meanings because then one can compare them and learn quickly. Translations without that are useless to check the meanings of the words and compare one translation to another.

One book worth mentioning is the Bhagavad Gita by Winthrop Sargeant. It is the only I know of which has the exact grammar designation of every word of the Gita. I translated Bhagavad Gita and gave Word-for-Word meanings but his detailed grammar designations are unique.

Shantidvara = Gate (Portal/Entry) of Peace?

What is the main yoga sect or process taught?

Who is the guru of the founder?

I am a distributor/sales rep for my family brand herbal teas. Dalgety Herbal Teas. I have to market our teas in The Netherlands.

indeed i see stuff differently than most but that's ok i have some skills no one else i know has to make up for what i should be able to do but cant.

Expertzkris Interesting i will keep you in mind for work 👍 

Expertzkris Which part are you in?

PHP, css, mobile app rebrand or from scratch, airbnb clone, gif for ads and SEO

Expertzkris I meant which part of Philippines?

Oh okay, Im from Cebu City :)

We can wait stay easy :)

Oh cge. I will be in Central Luzon next month. Where are you from originally?

I work full time in IT running my own IT company called Legacy Tech. I just recently launched my first UNA site for the Pro 2A community and moderate that site with about 5 others now.

unitedethos*com (i can't post links for some reason)

I have really enjoyed the UNA community and love the platform.

ps: I ALSO think I have the best looking UNA site

How did you put that accessibility menu icon on the bottom left, to change the theme instantly?

Oh never mind, it says UserWay

its an ADA compliance module called UserWay.org

It instantly modifies the local browsers loaded CSS, HTML, PHP and Java to meet the requirements with ADA compliance.

its free to sign up and you just load the script right inside the "Injections" area of UNA for the Header and Body. 

😆

Really? Post the link! #MrWorldFAMOUS

LOL! 😂 😂 😂

Hi Paul,

you are in a great field. I was also in this field in the San Antonio, Texas area. Handled many incidents as Logs Chief and trained all the way up to Area Commander.  Best wishes with your efforts and i will watch CBDRT.org to see how it goes.

Hi everyone,

I am late to the topic but here is a little intro. Firstly I have two profiles here and the other is Molosser Dogs

I am a retired US Navy Lieutenant Commander who spent a lot of time Navy ships and traveled the world a couple times.  Have been on all (yes) the continents. It would be easier to name countries that I have not visited than the ones visited, thanks to Uncle Sam.  So after almost 27 years I retired and have been using the knowledge and experience of global operational logistics, procurement, contracts, materials management, process improvement and leadership to do things in Oil & Gas and Construction industry. I just returned from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and will start a new position with a wonderful company in San Antonio in January.

I am a big fan of dogs and especially the molossoid breeds.  These are typically the big scary dogs that you may see guarding livestock or protecting property. We have owned Caucasian Ovcharkas since 1998 when we lived in Itri, Italy and needed dogs to protect our home and property from thieves and brigands.

Since 1998, I have been running websites for this breed and the Molossers. The mainstay is molosserdogs.com. I have used phpbb, SMF, phpNuke, e107, Dolphin and now UNA. On e107 we had 17,000 active members and then the big social networks came and killed all activity. :(

If you have dogs - pop over to molosserdogs.com and join us. - shameless plug here.

Anyhow, because I am still vested in the dog community - I keep the site going now using UNA.

UNA has some shortcomings in the areas of user engagement, content presentation, onsite notification, the use of screen space (too much white space) and other usability issues but hopefully the devs are aware and a future version will round out all the rough edges.

Cheers All.

Gary

I just hold doors

Sorry I am late in this topic. I've been in IT for about 20yrs. Today I provide IT services mainly around AWS Cloud. I help companies build new Cloud environments including security.  Most of my work is done in a automated fashion using Infrastructure as Code (IaC). The tools I use for the Orchestration and Configuration are Terraform & Ansible which enables me build new Cloud environments from ground up in days not months. The clients love this approach because it helps them get things done rather quickly and not to mention it is very cost-effective. This also enables them hire less engineers to maintain their environments and build/rebuild resources on the fly.
I use my UNA site (former D7) mainly to provide my community with a platform for social networking which also helps me showcase my IT services. Sometimes I get some revenues from advertisement, but not much. Hoping to come up with an attractive product I can use on my site hopefully to generate more revenues, but I will not loose sleep over it if I don't.
Cheers.

Hi Gary, I checked your site molosserdogs [com], you did a great a job ! I just migrated recently from D7 to UNA, and would love to get a nice landing page similar to yours.  I was wondering if you purchased the Theme/Template for your site or someone customized it for you. I would consider purchasing similar Theme but not sure where to get it from..  
Please advise. Thanks.
Cheers.
AJ
 

Best wishes with your project - and good luck with your network.

I think you meant the Xenon mix for Protean. It is by UNA themes so you can check it out on the market. Thank you .

I work in movies as an ass double.  Some actors are just too bashful to bare their butts on camera, so whenever the movie script calls for a shot of a big hairy butt, that's where I come in.  It pays the bills.

Hello UNA community I hope you all are doing well. Thank you for sharing your story and your sites. I decided to be a David and try to take on the Goliaths of social media. Except currently I am trying to perfect my sling shots before I strike 😉 I started a Social Media platform truvoiz.com to allow freedom of speech and expression.
