Third mobile operator in Trinidad and Tobago

CWC Insights sent out a Post-Lockdown Survey-Trinidad today and the last question asked,

Based on your experience during the quarantine, would you consider a new mobile service provider?

I did a Google search to see if there was any new info related to a 3rd mobile operator in Trinidad and Tobago. The only info I came across was this bit from wikipedia

"FLOW plans to add a mobile network to their portfolio in Trinidad. The company applied to the governing telecoms body, Telecommunications Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (TATT), in 2014 for a mobile license. To date, however, FLOW has yet to receive a license despite being named as the recipient of the license being tendered by TATT. They plan to build an LTE network as well despite incumbents, bmobile (TSTT) and Digicel, having well established mobile customer bases."

I will update this blog post with any new info that I get as time goes by.

Hobby project - Store and view exchange rates

The next step in my project was to test out being able store and display the rates in a database. I decided to use nodejs and supabase for this. Everything worked beautifully. Only hickup was the following error due to my package.json not being correct. SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module Added this to package.json "type": "module" This works beautifully. Right now I am just testing fragments of what could be part of a bigger system to see what is possible and what works and how easy to code on a mobile. There is no fully functioning integrated end to end system just yet. This is also what I tested. A serverless append-only database using GitHub + Actions + Pages. That’s basically a lightweight backend system. This was the ChatGPT prompt I used. Guide me through each step. This is what I want. A manually run github actions that adds to docs/data.json with the current date and time. docs/index.html displays all the entries in data.json. Make s...

What is important

Every now and again, I get reminded of the why. Why I have handed my life over to God. It is 3:08 p.m. and I have decided to write. Honestly, I feel like I could end this blog post right here. What more is there to say? God above all else. God is our compass on this journey called life. Everything else can become a distraction. Maybe not everything, but certainly many things. You get the point. What is important? What do we prioritise? What do we make time for? The answers look different for everyone. Our lives are different. We are tested differently. We are all products of our circumstances, and those circumstances vary from person to person. Yet God is the common thread across humanity and throughout time. God always was and always will be. One day, we will answer to God. We will give account to God. We cannot live without food, water, and oxygen, but all of those things come from God. So how can we live without God? How timely. I just received a notification from the Quranly app: S...

Hobby coding project - Queries for play whe data

I have an interest in open data and being able to query that data and gain beautiful insights. One data set that would be interesting is the play whe results data. Our open data is lacking in Trinidad and I will try to contact NLCB to see if they can provide and maintain the data online. But in the meanwhile I will use randomised data to create the website and do my testing. First thing I did was install sqlite on termux pkg update && pkg upgrade pkg install sqlite sqlite3 --version Create my database in my project folder sqlite3 results.db Useful commands .exit .quit Exit from multiline prompt ; SQL to create my table (create_tbl_results.sql) CREATE TABLE DrawResults ( DrawNo INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, DrawDate DATE, ResultNo INTEGER CHECK (ResultNo BETWEEN 1 AND 36), DrawTime INTEGER CHECK (DrawTime BETWEEN 1 AND 4) ); SQL to create the random dat...
