React Everything

Lately, as a web software engineer, I’ve been converting some of my legacy codebases into react.  At ninjawars.net, for example, I’m working on some replacements. First a static front-end page here:

I am also currently developing a fully serverless replacement for the main site in React, on github.

One reason that people have artist’s block is that they do not respect the law of dormancy in nature. Trees don’t produce fruit all year long, constantly. They have a point where they go dormant. And when you are in a dormant period creatively, if you can arrange your life to do the technical tasks that don’t take creativity, you are essentially preparing for the spring when it will all blossom again.

Linux commands are kinda quirky.

I’m just going to right out and say it, the `ln` command in linux is weird.  I just found out today, somehow, after using ln for years, that symlinking two files that are a directory down from me just doesn’t work.

I was trying to `ln -s deploy/resources.build.php deploy/resources.php` and it just doesn’t get the right result.  Turns out that somehow the first argument is actually a relative url.  And I’ve missed that all these years?

I really want to use some of these palettes for websites. I actually should update the bitlucid.com website’s color scheme, (I’m totally tired of white and blue now, that was quick). So maybe I’ll manage to use one of these, like number 12!

Cryptography as currency

new statesman -bitcoin-hyperdeflation

Bitcoin is an awesome case of cryptography and computational power used as a currency. It’s a genius system. Literally. I think the creators of the system must have been geniuses to come up with such slick methods for getting things done.
