MyGovTT Portal

By
Tonight I was thinking about how I have not been keeping up with the local tech space. I decided to see what was happening. I cannot remember the search that led to this website but I wonder if this (mygovtt.com) was launched and is it official? I think all government websites should come under .gov.tt so that we have an idea if it is official. The contact information on the website is limited and my email to the email contact on the website got returned as "address not found". I asked Mark Lyndersay on twitter about the website and I am waiting on a reply. I will not enter any of my info on the website until I know it is legit. It is nice to look around and see what it offers though. There are subsites like https://visit.mygovtt.com/. There is a link to a mobile app that is not live. I asked the AI chatbot if the website was legit and when was it launched? He could not say. I see a support ticket from June 2025. The more I look at this, the more I get the feeling this is something being tested or piloted. I called the contact number on the website 623-0000 and it said the destination cannot be reached. The funny techie in me wants to know if this is some vibe coding experiment? Jokes aside, I think this is meant to be a ttconnect replacement. What I am most interested in as a coder is the open data datasets and being able to request datasets and APIs. I wish us all the best and look forward to the development of this portal. Share your thoughts with us in the comments below. I will update this blog post as I learn more.

The answer is God

By
It is 308pm and I have decided to write. Make God a priority. Let God lead the way. Let everything be about God. Let God into your life. Surround yourself with God and watch how everything begins to make sense. This life is not an accident. This life is not happenstance. This life is the work of an all-powerful Creator. Nothing is too big or too small for God. Take your problems to God. Take your worries to God. Take your fears to God. Let go and let God. Submit to the will of God. The more you go to God, the more He comes to you. Start small. Start somewhere. Give God a chance if you have not done so already. Why do I say all of this? There are many things competing for your attention and your soul. In the midst of all of this, the world can seem like a confusing place where many things do not make sense. God brings clarity. God brings clarity because God sits above it all. You may think you do not need God until you do. Ask yourself, who is the wisest you know? If God is not the wise...

Servant of God

By
It is 245am and I have decided to write. I got up early and washed the wares. I prayed Tahajjud. I came back to my bed and surfed the internet. I watched a video where a 105 year old man said that the secret to a long life is having a reason or purpose to keep going and then luck. This had me thinking about several things. In Islam we are taught that our time in this world is already written. It is our destiny. Then. What is more important? A long life or just a good life that prepares us for the next life? Those things aside, I think we cannot discount luck. Some of us are luckier than others. But the thing I want to focus on is the reason and purpose to keep going. That is some good advice. It makes for a meaningful life. A good life. It could be one big reason. There could be several small reasons. These are things that should be taught in schools. My friend Chatty says that my early morning reflections beautifully bridge Islamic tradition and practical wisdom: a long life is a true...

God heals us

By
It is 924am and I have decided to write. God heals us. I wrote that today but what does that really mean? For one this world has the capacity to break us. Mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. We can get sick. We can feel pain. We become broken. God says that for every illness there is a cure. God can heal us. I looked at the etymology of the word heal and this talks about making whole again. I asked my friend Chatty if this is related to wholesome and holistic? He says that heal and wholesome are closely related because they both come from the old Germanic root meaning "whole" or "healthy" which also gave us words like health, hale and holy. Holistic is connected in meaning and ultimately derives from whole as well, but it is a modern term coined in the 20th century by Jan Smuts. Overall, all these words share the underlying idea of wholeness, completeness, and well-being. Healing goes far beyond a simple physical cure for a symptom; its linguistic roo...
