I'm a front-end developer of accessible user interfaces from Leiden, the Netherlands. I currently work in a product team where we create software for mental health providers. I'm a metal, loud and alternative music connoisseur. This is my personal website where I share notes, ideas, thoughts and links.
♫ It took me a couple of years, but Tribulation finally clicked for me. This is gothic deathrock meets black-metal and they really do their own unique thing. I love the guitar playing on this record. I can't wait to dive further into their discography. Listen to Children of the Night
♫ A new song by The Ocean is always a good thing. I wonder if Pelagic Records mysterious pre-order campaign is for a new The Ocean album. Listen to Preboreal on Bandcamp
I would be great if Apple solved some of the longer lingering bugs in Apple Music on macOS. For instance, (while using Airplay) adding a new song to my queue while the current song is almost ending usually results in the new song playing without sound. Also use the search too much and you're unable to typ more than one character in the search input. If services are becoming more important for Apple, it's disappointing they are really taking their time to fix bugs in Music.
♫ This rainy day is the perfect day to play the new Ahab album The Coral Tombs. It’s like I’m 20000 leagues under the sea myself. Listen to The Coral Tombs on your favorite streaming service
Pinafore was a pretty cool Mastodon client. Sad to see it go, but Bruce shares some great insights into the reason why and the development of this app.
♫ Starting the day with a Blood Incantation side project: Black Curse. Good way to wake up after a long holiday. Listen to Black Curse on your favorite streaming service
This weekend it was my first time setting up a vanilla Ubuntu server with a node.js application running on a IP address + port that I wanted to use on my own domain. I figured out how to keep the app running (with the app) forever, creating a SSL certificate and setting up nginx to use the certificate and to port-forward correctly. Now all this is not 100% new to me, but most of the time I just have to restart nginx or start a new npm process on a local dev environment. Setting up the whole thing and having it work how I envisioned it, is actually pretty cool.
