Playing around with static site generators
3 commentsposted in Etc, ReviewsEven though I'm quite happy with this website and its code, I want to rebuild it using a static site generator: you write your posts and pages with Markdown, write a couple of page html templates, and simply by pushing a new file to Git, your new article is published.
Looking for a job in the Arctic Circle
2 commentsposted in Django, EtcFor more then ten years I've been telling friends and family that I'd like to emigrate to another country. I have long thought that this other country would be Scotland, but about six months ago I've changed my mind: I want to move to the Arctic Circle instead. I'm now looking for a job and I could use some help finding them!
"How not to license your app"; an open letter to JetBrains
4 commentsposted in Django, EtcI love PyCharm, a great IDE for Python, and for Django in particular. It's got great features, good syntax highlighting, excellent support for debugging, and ver very good code completetion, even within HTML templates. I think it's also priced pretty good at 87 euros for individual developers (currently 50% off!), but sadly their license sucks.
Designing my very own ideal programming language
2 commentsposted in EtcRuby is a very nice language. In fact, in many ways it looks much friendlier and more logical then Python. Of course, just like Python, also this language has its quirks. I began to wonder what my ideal language would look like, if I could design my own. One part Ruby, one part Python, sprinkle with the best parts of Objective-C, and finish with the outstanding documentation of PHP.
