I've been diving into Vim lately. It all started out with DHH and his push for Linux and Lazyvim through his Omakub project. At first I started to really consider Linux. Partly because small things annoy me in macOS. Things like not...
In todays note to self, its just a basic reminder of how to check if a user is logged in or not. Mainly because I've looked for this at least twice, and got stuck with old forum answers with pre-Kirby v.3 syntax that didn't work. As with...
There's a term in running called a "kick", which refers to the ability to sprint at the end of an endurance-oriented race. Often it leads to anger amongst other competitors, who felt it unfair that they had to lead in front the whole...
I have an issue with the Sanity Content Lake. The Sanity Content Lake is where your content is stored and accessed. It runs in the cloud and is fully managed by us. What I read: your data is ours, and we control it. You want to keep the...
Sometimes the database keeps growing and you want to figure out which table(s) are causing the issue. It happens sometimes for me on Craft CMS projects. I then find it useful to be able to isolate the largest table(s) within the database...
Good question. I guess a natural follow up question is: Why did you start in the first place? My thoughts on it: "Writing to learn": I believe that writing is a great way to learn. It sorts floating thoughts somewhere. Sure, could be...
My previous post is really not that old. I wrote it 13th of September 2023 so less than half a year ago. A fair bit has changed since then. Kirby launched Kirby 4 in December 2023, and Craft CMS just launched Craft CMS 5 march 2024....
I have many a time added node_modules and the likes to my git repositories. Tired of always googling it, I noted down this solution to cleaning up after. make .gitignore file (or update the one you have) add node_modules/ or what you...
I've long been fascinated by the notecard systems of people like Ryan Holiday and Billy Oppenheimer, and no less fascinated by the quality of content they consistently share. My current system for collecting nuggets and wisdom I pick up...
“Victory belongs to the most Tenacious” — a phrase that echoes across the clay courts of Paris each spring. Originally attributed to Napoleon and later adopted by aviation hero Roland Garros, this quote now adorns the stadium walls of...
Most years since my late teenage years I had the same simple new year’s resolution: Care less what others think of me. I still work on that same goal a decade (or two) later, but have luckily gotten a bit better along the way. I have...
What I really like about having a personal web page, is that it can be ground zero for testing out ideas. If something feels right, it'll likely carry over to other projects I work on. Time to drop Tailwind? This has been a thought I've...
The last month I've been diving into sustainable web design, and although I keep links in apple notes, bookmarks etc. I kind of like the idea of using the blog for long-term storage. As Chris Coyier calls it in his blog post: "the...
Some people in the Statamic community have commented that my previous tests were unfair (or rather; dumb and crap). Some arguments pointed towards 1: file size doesn’t matter, and 2: Statamic had «no caching and file watcher was on». I'm...
After my post regarding the size of the codebase of multiple CMS’s, I’ve gotten some comments about the flaws of this approach. As much as I agree that its too simplistic to make substantial conclusions from, I still believe it’s a great...
