It's a tradition now: here are my favourite albums of the year.

Recently I switched back to using Kagi and since LaunchBar is one the most essential parts of my computing life I wanted to have a better experience than just a custom search template.

I'm currently working on an application that uses Preact and preact-iso for server-side rendering and routing. preact-iso provides the useLocation() hook to access the current URL in a component.

I had to deal with an extreme edge case in Eleventy today.

One of the great joys of visiting family in Styria is the Semmering railway, which is the most scenic train in Austria.

If you like fast websites you probably also like Eleventy.

A couple of years ago I started to buy music again and as you might have seen from the links I share Bandcamp is my MP3 store of choice.

On Friday Apple announced how they are going to implement the Digital Markets Act (DMA) in the EU and one of the changes is the ability to set the default browser.

Today I took advantage of the great weather and walked Stadtwanderweg 1.

I like playing Pokémon and I'm a Pokédex completionist and I like to share that with people.

Last Sunday was a near perfect autumn day in Vienna and I took the chance to take some photos along Stadtwanderweg 4a.

Last week we went to Mykonos on a summer vacation and the island is beautiful.

I recently stumbled on the Bandcamp page of Vienna-based Seeyou Records and then spend too much money on music there.

I bought the book after I saw James speak about remote work at the Lead Dev conference in Berlin last November, but I was a bit disappointed from Effective Remote Work.

With Engineering Management for the Rest of Us Sarah Drasner gives us a great starting point for new managers.

However influential and innovative this book has once been, it seems outdated now.

Looking back at the albums I liked most of 2022, it was not a bad year for new music.

In RCE (Remote Code Execution) Sibylle Berg tells the story of a world that is very similar to ours, but there is more violence, more greed, more surveillance, more AI, more unemployment, more inequality, more oppression, more sexism, more racism.

In December Marina and took the train to Budapest and stayed there for a couple of days.

In 2022 I have read 29 books, which is a lot less then in the previous year.

We stopped at Predjama Castle in Slovenia on our way down to Trieste Arriving in Trieste and Canale Grande immediately gives you the imperial seaside town feeling Climbing the Scala dei Giganti rewards you with a nice view of the city James Joyce lived in…

This weekend I fixed how my blog saves generated images, which bothered me (and only me) for a long time.

For me using a static site generator such as Eleventy to blog has one big advantage and one big disadvantage compared to other systems (eg, WordPress).

Between October 2010 and May 2018 I regularly posted to my music blog POP.md, but the Tumblr interface kept annoying me and so I stopped.

Creating the various sizes of Apple Touch Icons is one of the more tedious tasks in web development. iOS uses the Apple Touch Icon when a user adds the website to their home screen and since most websites now include them, many things use Apple Touch Icons

From time to time I need to convert audio files from some kind of audio format into a MP3 file with variable bitrate (VBR).

The Innovator's Dilemma looks at why established companies sometimes are able to thrive on new technological innovation in their industry and in other cases are incapable of adapting new technologies and are driven from the market by startups.

In 2021 I read 43 books, quite a lot of the books this year were related to my job and looking at the stack of books on my desk that I plan to read next this trend is likely to continue.

This is the fifth consecutive year where I'm posting the list of my favourite albums.

Humble Inquiry by Edgar H.

In classic A Book Apart fashion Sustainable Web Design by Tom Greenwood provides us with a concise introduction on creating websites that consume less energy, produce less carbon emissions and have the least impact on our planet.

There's still some things I don't understand Like the casual blindness toward the cruelty of man Once in a while I come across a song that moves me in a way that I cannot explain.

Don't worry if you felt icky clicking on a blog post called Automating Meditation, I felt icky writing it.

Part 1: The Mess I Created A few years ago I had to declare bankruptcy on my file system.

If there is an indie rock band that has the same name as an Ibiza DJ, they are the same band for "the algorithm".
