Due to several recent events beyond my control I’m a bit behind on the project - hence the lack of updates which I apologise for. The goods news is that I’m back working to finish off the clusters and I’m happy to report that all is going to plan. Here is the final digram of the two-node cluster design: Plain text version available here This was generated from the LCMC tool (beware - it’s java!).

About three years ago, when I started working with Ruby and Rails, I noticed that the term “Rack” always came up in my Google searches.

Becoming a Tech Lead is a tough transition for any developer, because only part of the skills and experience you had as a developer prepares you for the expectations of a new role. Instead of simply designing and writing code, a Tech Lead is suddenly responsible for an entire development team - and this means dealing with people, both technical and non-technical.

Up until now when building with include sources for iOS we also included a btres directory which was necessary for the old VM but no longer necessary in the new VM. This increased the distribution size considerably and we are now removing it to speed up the builds and reduce server costs. When we were in the process of reviewing the sizes of apps we noticed quite a few apps with resources weighing well over 5mb which would probably ca..

I remember my first computer fondly. As a kid I was more than addicted to the Commodore 64 – perfectly happy to sit and endure at least 5 minutes of the most colourful, potentially epileptic attack you can imagine, simply to have a few games of Boulder Dash.

Something I noticed when I first bought this truck was that it had a special permit in it. A special permit issued by the “Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration”, authorizing it to carry…something? I’m not actually sure what this truck was used for prior to my purchase, some sort of commercial activity, and I know for a fact that it started it’s life as a simple Budget truck. Call it stubbornness or naivety, but I’m not....

Overriding retain/release/autorelease may be handy while debugging: - (instancetype)retain { NSLog(@"%p, retain\n", self); return [super retain]; } - (oneway void)release { NSLog(@"%p, release\n", self); [super release]; } - (instancetype)autorelease { NSLog(@"%p, autorelease\n", self); return [super autorelease]; }

Let’s face it, your app is probably a commodity. As noted by Wikipedia , “a commodity has full or partial fungibility; that is, the market treats its instances as equivalent or nearly so with no regard to who produced them.” In basic English it means that your product can be easily replaced in part or completely by another to satisfy the needs of the market. For 99% of apps out there this means that if a user doesn’t find your app,..

Financial services companies are among the most highly regulated industries in the world. They also suffer from a trust issue. Trust is a key ingredient in making a financial services business viable. Why would I ever buy insurance, banking services or invest my savings via a company that I didn’t trust?

Once upon a time I was making a pretty large app for Android. When everything was almost finished I wondered how shall I remove all my logs before publishing the app? Looks like many other developers are interested in the same question as well. Surprisingly, the recommented way out is to strip off the Log class from the production builds using ProGuard. Maybe Proguard is nice, but to me it’s really weird why instead of having a nice out-of-..

I occasionally mention how glad I am that I’m able to live the way I do, but it’s definitely not for everyone. In fact, the reason I’m able to do this is mainly because of the benefits afforded to me by the company I work at. Not that I expect many people are envious of my lifestyle, but for all those aspiring to live out of some type of vehicle, here is a list of hard requirements, collected through experience and in no particular order, t..

Dirt. Metal. Water. War…thump…thump…thump. Blood. Grime…Guitar. Drums…dum..dum…dum. Human.Inhuman.God.Monster. Hope…survive…survive…survive! It’s a metal rock show in an apocalyptic wasteland masquerading as a movie. And I am not saying that only because of the humongous guitar mounted on an armored truck. It starts with a far off beat when the protagonist is suddenly made aware of being … Continue reading Mad Max: Fury Road Review

As I’ve mentioned before, I drove buses in a past life (read: two months ago). That meant that in Massachusetts, I had a Commercial Driver’s License. The bus company that I had worked for over the course of the past four years graciously trained their drivers and paid them, but in the Real World™, obtaining a CDL can be super expensive. Most driving school websites don’t list their prices, but this one has a quote of $225 for a 2-ho..

Perhaps nothing better defines our current age than to say it is one of rapid technological change. Technological improvements will continue to provide more to individuals and society, but also to demand more: demand (and leak) more of our data, more time, more attention and more anxieties. While an increasingly vocal minority have begun to rail against certain of these demands, through calls to pull our heads away from our screens and for ..

In this new crazy world of containers and immutable hosts, one might still want to run previous generation software such as Puppet on a current generation Atomic host . This article will explain how you can do that, and offer some proof of concept code . The atomic host doesn’t provide a yum or dnf command, because the software is pre-baked into a read-only /usr/ partition. To “ install ” (to use) additional software, it usually..

Every so often, I like to apply a simple Litmus test to my life to help me figure out a couple things. The test has a single question, and the way I answer this question tells me a lot about how reasonable of a person I’m being, and if I’m living in a sustainable way. The questions is this: If everyone acted the way I’m acting, would it still work?
