reveal.js
Published on in 🔗 Links
Updated on
Someone reminded me about reveal.js and I just took a look at the project site. It seems like reveal.js got a completely new website and a major update to version 4. I already used reveal.js for a few slides and liked it. However I didn’t consider it for my recent university presentations, because there I needed a PDF version of my slides (and the PDF export somehow didn’t work quite well with my past slides) and I didn’t really had the time to experiment. Next time I will try reveal.js again.

Obese websites and planet-sized metronomes
Published on in 🔗 Links
Kevin Galligan wrote a metronome with HTML, CSS and JS, which has a total size of less than 1 KB. Because the existing ones were as large as 11 MB without more functionality. In the accompanying blog post he rants about the modern web (with data-based proofs) and explains how he achieved to make the metronome app as small as 1 KB.

I’m currently “managing” (or better say storing) my photos using Nextcloud. Whenever I take photos with the camera, I copy them to a YEAR/MONTH based folder structure. Also the photos from my phone get automatically uploaded to a folder with all phone photos.
City Roads
Published on in 🔗 Links
The attached picture is a visualization of the streets in my home town. I generated this picture with the website “city roads”. This site has been around for a while, but a link post from Julio Biason reminded me to share the link as well. With this site it is possible to display only the streets of a city or surroundings on a plain background.

The Shapes of Code

It is interesting to look at code not only from the content aspect, but also from the appearance. The appearance of code can give hints how to refactor it.

“It’s about time you try Linux.” is a nice little site listing a few Linux distribution options for beginners (and also more advanced users) and explaining why you should try Linux.
