Obviously this only goes out when I actually post content, which is rare, so you won’t be spamed. Started university Made some stuff (game jams, projects), will be adding a portfolio page soon™ Started working on a ray tracer and a mini-mmo game inspired by runescape, will be updating based on those projects soon Might do a rant on some game stuff, who knows P./2017/01/30/this-isnt-really-content/Mon, 30 Jan 2017 15:10:00 -0700me@cosmicbagel.com (CosmicBagel)/2017/01/30/this-isnt-really-content/What does hugo do when no meta? It doesn’t publish. How about minimal (just draft=false) still nothing How about with a title? nothing But if all it has is a date tag, it’ll publish. This means that draft is true when not stated. In the offical Hugo documentation it states that the required variables are title, description, date, and taxonomies. When in fact all you need is a date, but it looks kinda silly on the site./2014/11/14/gulp-node-best-web-dev-experience-ever/Fri, 14 Nov 2014 13:51:00 -0700me@cosmicbagel.com (CosmicBagel)/2014/11/14/gulp-node-best-web-dev-experience-ever/Man, I am lovin’ gulp. It was a shaky relationship at first, but I think we’ve come a long way. I’ve been working on a new website for myself to show off work I’ve done, I thought I’d give Node a try and try to embrace the node realm of tools as much as possible. The one major hitch I ran into is not being able to use Jekyll since it has some OSX specific requirements (I’m working on a windows machine)./2014/09/09/sublime-build-run-cpp/Tue, 09 Sep 2014 18:29:00 -0700me@cosmicbagel.com (CosmicBagel)/2014/09/09/sublime-build-run-cpp/Last week started off with some C++ work. Leading me to learning makefiles, GCC, and how to use them with Sublime Text 3. I went with a simpler tool to force a better understanding on how the pieces fit together on myself. Full IDEs cover the details up. Not as effective when you want to learn about those details. ST3’s build system is simple enough. Looking at the built in build configurations I put together what I wanted mine to do./2014/07/04/brainstorming-how-to-hire-a-dude/Fri, 04 Jul 2014 11:16:00 -0700me@cosmicbagel.com (CosmicBagel)/2014/07/04/brainstorming-how-to-hire-a-dude/I’m not an HR admin, a recruiter, or in any position to hire anybody unless they want to work for half a pack of Jolly Ranchers. What I am is a junior programmer who’s worked at a couple of companies, and read a metric ton of developer / tech blogs (Hacker News ftw). With this limited knowledge in mind I’d like to present my hypothetical hiring process. This probably pokes holes at my own profile, but I want to hire someone who’s BETTER then me, not another me./2014/06/14/programming-language-fluency-rankings/Sat, 14 Jun 2014 19:40:00 -0700me@cosmicbagel.com (CosmicBagel)/2014/06/14/programming-language-fluency-rankings/Sometimes I don’t know how to answer people when they ask how well I know how to use a language. For example I’m a pretty fluent C# programmer, but I’m only a beginner C++ programmer. That leaves a lot of ambiguity and wiggle room. Another way of saying is that, I can write C# code, and I can fake my way through C++ coding. I came across a reddit post asking a pretty damn good question: How do you know when you KNOW a language?/2014/04/26/ftp-on-windows-azure/Sat, 26 Apr 2014 04:48:00 -0700me@cosmicbagel.com (CosmicBagel)/2014/04/26/ftp-on-windows-azure/So I’ve finally gotten around to getting the FTP up and running for my website. I used this walkthrough to get through the more weird bits that weren’t apparent at first. Hosting FTP on IIS 7.5 in a Windows Azure VM written by Ronald Wildenberg. The external IP address should be the Virtual IP address you can find in the Azure Management portal. Unfortunately, it seems impossible to specify the data channel port range here./2014/04/22/the-other-javascripts/Tue, 22 Apr 2014 14:07:00 -0700me@cosmicbagel.com (CosmicBagel)/2014/04/22/the-other-javascripts/I’ve recently become interested in Node.js, but I’m bored of writting stuff in JS. Additionally I’d like some more features to my workflow (like maybe some o dat intelisense). Although editors like sublime do a decent job of this aleady, it can still be done better. Turns out I’m not the only one who could do with a fresh paint job on JS. There are a LOT of code in XYZ get JS compilers out there./2013/11/06/a-bit-of-clean-code/Wed, 06 Nov 2013 22:54:00 -0700me@cosmicbagel.com (CosmicBagel)/2013/11/06/a-bit-of-clean-code/So I’ve recently come across this goldmine of coding wisdom [Clean Coders]. I’ve purchased, watched, and have taken some simple notes on the first episode. I really must say this is fantastic content, kind of makes me think of Bill Nye The Science Guy, but for programmers. I highly recomend it, if you’re reading this you should go over there, pay the one dollar, and watch the first episode./2013/11/02/microsoft-virtual-wifi-miniports/Sat, 02 Nov 2013 18:22:00 -0700me@cosmicbagel.com (CosmicBagel)/2013/11/02/microsoft-virtual-wifi-miniports/I don’t like em! They clutter up my ipconfig read out, and add nonsese to my network config screens. Let’s get rid of it. Supposedly this is a feature for developers, however I haven’t found a use for it yet, and since I aim to develop for multiple platforms I don’t think I’ll be using this feature. With this feature, a Windows computer can use a single physical wireless adapter to connect as a client to a hardware access point (AP), while at the same time acting as a software AP allowing other wireless-capable devices to connect to it./2013/10/14/ghostly-fun-all-up-in-this/Mon, 14 Oct 2013 23:36:00 -0700me@cosmicbagel.com (CosmicBagel)/2013/10/14/ghostly-fun-all-up-in-this/It’s October 14th, I’ve been attempting to fight off a cold all weekend, and opengl isn’t getting any simpler. So lets do something completely different, like revamp my blog with the latest blogware: Ghost. A little background to start. Blogging sites come and go, they come and go a lot. Result: I’ve become pretty skeptical about becoming invested into a platform that can just vanish at the whims of an angry CEO on any day.
