Jul 11th: If you use AWS Lightsail and want to collect metrics for memory usage (or anything else) using CloudWatch, it's a bit tricky. So I wrote a little tutorial on getting it set up.

May 7th: It turns out you can make a browser based chat client without using any JS or forcing page reloads. Truly amazing/evil. Probably not practical, but does show a clever mechanism for allowing some dynamic data flow with JS disabled.

May 6th: The source code to every Infocom text adventure is now on github. It's all in ZIL, which you can learn about here. Time to replay the HHGTTG game!

May 5th: It sounds like privacy works similar to the sadly defunct Final, but woks as a layer on top of your existing card. Has anyone tried it?

May 3rd: A great piece on pessimism, attitude and code quality

Jan 2nd: Wrapped up my reading list for 2018, with some great additions

Dec 26th: i think i was reading about SSX Tricky (2001) when I came across Snow, which is in an open beta right now

Dec 26th: at some point i'm going to upgrade my BBQ thermometer from my 2 channel one to this 4 channel beast [via myles]
