Thoughts of an IT expert

💭 Thoughts: XXXX-05

Welcome to the Thoughts section of my blog. Thoughts are better kept on my blog than on Twitter or other online platforms.


What’s going on?

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

This post is meant for a little reflection because I’ve noticed a few things that I can’t quite place.

No standstill?

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

When I reflect on myself like this, I have long had the impression that I am a person who cannot live at a standstill. I always need a topic that keeps me busy, a thing in my life that I can optimize or at least a frequently changing topic that I can dive into.

Being an inspiration

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

Somehow that’s a nice feeling to hear that you yourself inspire others to do something.

First impression: AfterShokz OpenComm

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

It’s been about 24 hours since my new AfterShokz OpenComm arrived. And I have to say, this is really the best headset I ever had!

Modularizing GoBlog?

Published on in 💭 Thoughts
Updated on

I just separated the function I told you about the other day (the one for marking text with “==”) as a Go module. This way the main code remains more organized and if I don’t need the feature any more, the module is still usable. Also for other people who might need the same functionality. I think I should modularize GoBlog even more. 🤔

My new Chromecast with Google TV

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

I ordered the Chromecast with Google TV last weekend and got it delivered yesterday (early birthday present for myself 😅 – I have birthday tomorrow). I really like it! Even though I’m usually critical about Google and its services – at least I disabled all possible privacy settings.

Two months of private diary blogging

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

More than two months ago, I decided I should try using my blogging software for journaling. Every day, I create a new private post with a few bullet points about the day: what I did during the day, how I felt, what I thought about. On some days there are more points, on some days just a few short ones.

My own Static Site Generator

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

Because I don’t have enough side projects yet, I started programming my own static site generator, with the creative name GoBlog. I doubt it will replace my use of Hugo in the near future, but it is exciting to write a Go program that is designed for high speed. I get to know features that I have never used before. I also learn what to pay attention to when thousands of files have to be parsed and processed concurrently. Maybe I will never be able to use this project for anything useful, but side projects are mainly there to have fun or learn something useful.

Self-hosted server(less) functions

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

One thing which I have never looked more closely at, but which I think is very interesting, are “Serverless Functions”, although they are not so serverless because they run on a server. Whatever. On Hacker News, I found a GitHub repository and an article about it.
