Taylor version v0.4.0 has been out for a while and I didn’t want to bring too much attention to it since it was the massive redesign that took over two years. Instead, I released it quietly and used it myself to see if there were any major issues and since there weren’t I’ve decided to release v0.4.1! Download...

Too Long; Won’t Read The short, sharp, and shiny of it all is docker containers usually run as root, so when you mount your local file system to it, it writes files as root to your machine. This bugs me and causes issues. The fix is to build your docker image with a non-root user that has your UID and GID. You can...

Intro First things first, what is Crystal and why am I talking about it at a ruby meetup? Well it’s a programming language released in 2014 that claims to be as fast as C and as slick as Ruby. Big claims right? I was pretty skeptical going in but I’ve definitely found that it delivers good speed and some very nice...

The idea It was a day like any other, scrolling through random tech articles while I wait for support requests to come through. That’s how I stumbled across the canvas tag new to HTML5. That’s when everything clicked, the gears started turning faster and faster. I’d found an idea, and not just any idea, a great...

There was a little bit of a self inflicted hurdle getting this site hosted on S3. But first, how this issue came to be. The Beginning The domain oeQuacki is actually from my very first serious web project, a forum with a html5 drawing program commonly referred to as oekaki. For this I’ve setup a gmail account which...

I’ve tried my hand at running a blog in the past with very little success, I even wrote a pretty cool little set of Gems for rails (check them out here). The real reason I set all this up was mostly to have a place to put games I write using Godot without having to worry about maintaining another rails instance...
