The brain-farts of a Developer on the move, usually about the nerdy bits of nomad life.

Quitting my job to travel the world (again)

A few more years pass, another post about my next dramatic (to me at least) life change. I’m starting to think this is going to be a 5-yearly occurrence at this point. Better than a 7-year-itch I suppose.

Testing out a new deployment system

This is a test, please don’t ignore! Or well, you can, but it’s only a quick one, all about how I’m trying to hack together some static-site publishing from my ipad.

Managing your terraform across multiple environments

You’re managing your cloud infrastructure using Terraform. You’ve got your first environment up and running and you’re already reaping the benefits of a codified infrastructure. Changes are easy. But, now you need to set up a second environment (staging, prod, whatever) and you’re finding that managing this is not straight forward. There’s a bunch of arguments to remember every time you switch between environments, and your switching a lot because you want to keep them in sync. Because this is hard you tend to use auto-complete, but then sometimes you forget to change something and accidentally apply prods config to staging. Well, as in many occasions, a Makefile can probably help you there.

Here’s some implementation detail on my setup and how I’ve kept it as bare-bones as possible, backed-up in the cloud and, most importantly for my tin-foil fetish, secure.

The easy way to view web certificate info (probably)

This is a quick little post about how I realised that there’s a nice and easy way to view detailed information about a web certificate available to most sensible people: Firefox TL;DR: code This is a built-in feature of firefox: click on the little padlock icon in the address bar when visiting any website using TLS, select the view cert info and a new tab will open displaying info about the cert.
