    Testing Facebook Syndication

    posted on: 26 Nov 2013

    Has this post been syndicated? We’ll see.

    I’ve been trying to start a blog for some years now. Finding interesting things to write about is not as easy as one might think. Also the prices of hosting and domain names when you are broke are an issue.

    But I still try.

    I think my ambition exceeds me

    posted on: 07 Nov 2013

    So I have been checking out D&D 4e and D&D Next. Well, I started thinking ‘I want to create my own ruleset for pen and paper RPGs’. Needless to say I have found it to be more difficult than I had imagined while reading the PHB and DMG.

    Test Driven Development And Why I Hate It

    posted on: 01 Oct 2013

    TDD or BDD are the bane of my development life. I do see how they are useful but to me they just get in the way of the real code. I guess I am old school that way, I believe in just writing code and testing later. I don’t see the point in wasting time writing tests when I can be writing actual code, and if the code I write doesn’t work I just tweak it till it works and move on. Once I get to a certain point in my development process I refactor what I wrote to get rid of the clutter and then get back to adding new features. To me adding test is just adding an uneeded layer of pain in the ass.

    But wait there’s more…

    posted on: 13 Sep 2013

    So I was thinking this page is getting a bit crowded and as I write long posts at times. I am feeling a need to trim it a bit by adding a “read more…” and seperate long post pages from the short ones. So I am rolling my sleeves up and editing things to accomodate this feature (not that it’s going to be hard). Later on I may add a tag cloud or categories. I may also follow the social norm, pshhh yeah right.

    On FB Comments and Jekyll

    posted on: 19 Aug 2013

    Jekyll is a pretty freaking awesome, eh, fram.wor..tool. Tool, yeah, that’s it. Anyway, being as simple as it is, it can have some hills to climb at times. Add in the super compl-easy Facebook Graph “stuff” and you start to get into rock climbing.
