Every good blogging system should have an option to schedule posts for later! GoBlog now has such a feature as well. And this is the first scheduled post. 😀

And I finally started writing the documentation on how to use GoBlog…

Thank you for featuring my blog in your latest “Advent of Bloggers” post and your kind words, James! 🤓

Just two notes:

Jan’s blog has a simple design: the background is black and the text is white.

That’s with dark mode. With light mode it’s white background and black text.

There is also a German version of the blog for those would prefer to browse the blog in German.

It doesn’t just contain German translations, it mostly contains posts that are just relevant in German. So for those who understand German, I recommend reading both.

Today I learned that there is a new version 2 of Docker Compose. Docker Compose is now no longer a Python app, but a CLI plugin for Docker written in Go. And there is a Compose specification.

I’ve never really done test-driven development (TDD). But Advent of Code offers the perfect opportunity for that, because there is already an example input and an example result. So it is possible to create a test first and program until the test passes.

It’s time again to ask my followers: I have my homepage jlelse.dev, but I’m thinking about using jlelse.com for a more professional and appealing website about me. I can program, but my design skills are somewhat limited. What should I use to design and create the site? I used Carrd a couple of years ago. But are there any other recommendations?

Christmas is near and now my watch shows that! 🎄

Maybe I should write down my political views and thoughts in extra posts on my German blog in the future, instead of putting them in the monthly review and then translating them as well. English readers probably won’t get much out of it… Sorry! ✌️

First experience with my new unlimited mobile phone contract while traveling: The phone hotspot works much better than the ICE (German high speed train) WiFi usually does. At most, there are small interruptions in tunnels, but otherwise surfing, writing e-mails, and listening to music work perfectly. Even remote programming works. It was worth it…

Today GoBlog got the option to configure your own map tile server. So not only standard OpenStreetMap is possible, but also Stamen Toner for example. Fits much better to my blog aesthetics, right? (See the map page.)
