Weekly Recap 1901

A (weekly) compilation of things that I stumbled across and found interesting.

Ulysses and Ghost

The new Ulysses feature really adds so much value to my “ideal blogging setup” that I hope to actually start writing more again. A few years ago, I got started with editing in Markdown or a flavour thereof. Once you go there, it’s hard getting back to anything else.

Ghost has responsive images

I've tried Ghost almost as soon as it came out. I liked the simplicity and writing in Markdown. Things changed, and you could see the inspiration from other publishing platforms. However, one thing was always annoying me: images. When uploading an image to ghost, it would be sent the same

it's time

From all the dimensions, time is the one we tend to overrate the most because we tend to believe we cannot move in it as we please.

Payment Gateways in the UAE

I have recently come across the necessity to implement a payment system to an existing web site. The easiest way would probably be to use Stripe, but unfortunately this is not available here in the UAE. However, there are a lot of alternatives. I have compiled a small overview over

HTTP2 again!

So Google removed the support for NPN from Chrome and only supports ALPN now. ALPN is only available in OpenSSL 1.0.2 and above. At this time, only Ubuntu 16.04 ships with this version. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04. And so, as for a lot of other people,

Tilerator

More than 6 years ago I wrote a small tool in Flash to solve a problem with Cocos2D sprites. For this framework, the tile maps had to have a little gap every so and so many pixels with the content continuing after the gap. So if you created a tile

Duct-Taped Search and Sync with ElasticSearch, MariaDB and beanstalkd

I recently started working on a new project (based on a LEMP [Linux, nginx, MySQL, PHP] stack), which has “Search” as one key feature. Search as in “Search over user generated input for text and / or location, with an arbitrary set of filters applied”. And here is how I chose

Website performance with ProcessWire, nginx and fastcgi_cache

I love ProcessWire. It's straight forward, it's easy to understand, and it's fast. And it plays well with nginx, my favourite alternative to the Apache webserver. Sometimes though, this is still not fast enough. nginx and fastcgi Much has been said about nginx ("Engine X"), and I won't

foundation replacement announcement

this ghost is now holy - using MariaDB.

cms per definition

"Ein CMS hat zur Aufgabe, dass User, die mit der Leertaste zentrieren, sich über das mangelhafte c&p aus Word heraus beschweren können, während HTML-firme User über die Contentfilter und unkomfortable Quelltexteingabe fluchen dürfen." (aus dem Heise-Forum)
