This was one of the most frustrating streams I made so far. My UPS went crazy in the middle of it, so I ended up having to split the video in two. And all that was after streaming for about an hour with the stream not really working. Part 1: Part 2: I started an experiment I've been thinking for a long time.

Today I started an experiment I've been thinking for a long time. I'll write a course on stream in order to share the knowledge. On this stream I work in a course about creating a framework agnostic presenter library in Ruby. Here's a snapshot of the course syllabus so far: Basic Presenter [4/4] free What is a presenter? Target and Context Forwarding to the target object Demistifying the view Instantiating Presenters [2/5] paid Mystique.

What is a presenter? When we're writing a web application, we often find ourselves struggling with trying to put display logic in the right place. We have some logic that can either go on the model (or the domain object), but it can also go on the view. For example, we might have a user with a first and a last name. We want to show the full name in a particular way, so we can write this logic on the domain object, but this means that it'll spread across the entire app.

This is the second stream on a series where I sit down to learn the Ruby Object Mapper library. On this stream I moved to a file based SQLite database instead of a memory based one. Things I learned on the stream: Configuring a file based SQLite database. How to write the SQLite database URI (I always forget how to do this).

This is the first stream on a series where I sit down to learn the Ruby Object Mapper library. I created the basic structure of an application, but just the persistence layer. I've started with Sqlite on memory just to get the basic setup up and running. On the next streams on this series I'll try to configure Postgres with migrations and seeds.

Continuing with the series about rebuilding Habitica, I finished building the top bar and resolving some of the issues on the layout.
In this series, I try to re-create the Habitica design with only HTML and CSS
(well, SCSS). I'm not doing any actual functionality, just the look and feel.

This stream is the first on a series where I rebuild Habitica. Habitica is a habit tracker disguised as an RPG game. It's really nice to play with. In this series, I try to re-create the Habitica design with only HTML and CSS (well, SCSS). I'm not doing any actual functionality, just the look and feel. On this first part, I managed to get the top bar almost set up, but with a couple of small design problems.

If you're one of the 8 people that's visited my blog since it's creation, you probably noticed that it has changed. That's because I'm using Hugo how. Hugo is a static site generator written in Go (language I've never used in my life). The main thin that drove me to try it out is that it allows writing posts and pages directly using org-mode (among other formats such as Markdown as well).
