Have you ever heard about txti.es ? It’s a basic web page creator. You can basically create a very simple website by typing content into a form. I thought it might be used as a very simple frontend. I always dabbled with automation. An example would be a scraping script that gets the job postings from a specific website or one that checks when the bus I take every morning leaves and sends this information by e-mail.

When I was a student in MIT, I took a walk on Massachusetts Avenue, across the Harvard bridge. It’s a long bridge which separates Boston from Cambridge, Massachusetts. As I crossed into Boston and I walked about a mile further, I noticed the Christian Science Plaza. It was beautiful. A large ornate church next to reflection pool. A little pocket of spaciousness in crowded Boston. It looked splendid. I didn’t like getting inside churche....

Wanted to send a pdf to my kindle for some holiday reading. You can easily do this by emailing the pdf to your kindle-bound email address. Now, I typically attach files when composing mu4e emails by using mml-attach-file , which attaches the file using <#part>…<#/part> . However, the Amazon service did not find the attached pdf, so no pdf was added to my Kindle. Fortunately, I found a handy Reddit thread, leding me to a working solut..

As 2018 is coming to and end, I have decided to review my year. Talks One of my major goals for 2018 was to focus and improve my public speaking skills. Specifically, I wanted to do my first talk at an international conference. I created a spreadsheet with a bunch of events that were interesting to me, such as Gophercon US, Gophercon UK, KubeCons and so on. I organized them by CFP dates and tried to come up with a few topics for each of..

6 years ago this video came out. At the time I couldn’t code yet. This concept is still mind blowing to me. Up until now I always thought about code as a collection of files, connected through imports. But really we import functions, not files. We use files to store code because they’re a convenient way to serialize code. They’re not the best representation, in fact functions might provide a better one.

It's not at all uncommon nowadays for SSH not to be listening on TCP 22, but to instead be bound to another port - primarily to prevent brute force attacks by the various dumbest-of-the-dumb bots out there Occasionally, though, you then want to use rsync over an SSH tunnel, and need to specify the port to use so that rsync uses the custom SSH port instead of port 22 It's pretty straightforward, but is one of those things I use infrequ..

In my hands is a Cisco AIR-CAP-3502-E-A-K9 that I saved from the landfill. After about eight hours of suffering, and what was surely a cancer causing dose of RF-radiation , I now know: How to convince this access point to provide me with wifi. Why Cisco products are probably best left in the garbage. What follows is my setup guide and review for using a Cisco Aironet device. This guide will likely be useful with other models ..
