    Connecting to Eduroam (at the University of Gothenburg) was tricky this time. The main problem was ensuring the CA Certificate was installed. Clicking the certificate link on the instructions page at Medarbetarportalen gave a message saying This certificate is already installed as a certificate authority. Yet, when configuring the WiFi connection, there was no option…

    With this workflow, my web space contains a git remote which, whenever pushed to, builds the Vue project and puts it on a public path.

    http://artsy.github.io/blog/2017/11/27/Babel-7-and-TypeScript/ An airy and business card-like blog design, clean and free from distractions. I like how the elegant Garamond font is used throughout, and the cyan gradient in the background.

    Someone brute-forced into a client’s WordPress site and added cryptomining js. Good thing they knocked down an HTML div on their way out!

    When using SSH at FS Data, pressing backspace in Vim were coming out as ^? so editing files was a hassle. (I am on a Linux workstation btw.) I found a solution in the Vim documentation, via a Stack Overflow post. I just opened ~/.vimrc and added the following: :if &term == “xterm-256color” :  set…

In the end, I found pointers to a method which turns out to work pretty well. My…

    I am used to using PhpStorm on a Mac, but now I am with Ubuntu on a ThinkPad so the keymapping is all off. I want to use the Mac OS X keymap, but contrary to my expectation, pressing the Windows key does not produce the Meta symbol so I cannot access half the shortcuts.…
