feb 2019 update

CosmicBagel — Sun, 10 Feb 2019 11:47:27 -0700

Added a way to subscribe via email, as I don’t really post stuff on social media much this should let people get updates. 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 …

This isn't really content

CosmicBagel — Mon, 30 Jan 2017 15:10:00 -0700

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, …

About

CosmicBagel — Sat, 28 Jan 2017 17:21:41 -0700

I’m a Canadian software developer. I mostly use this site as a contract card and to list the projects I’ve worked on. I keep up some old blog posts, its unlikely that I’ll be writing new posts any time soon.

I don’t really use social media for messaging much so if you want to contact me, email me at me@cosmicbagel.com …

Gulp & node, best web dev experience ever

CosmicBagel — Fri, 14 Nov 2014 13:51:00 -0700

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 …

Sublime Build & Run C++

CosmicBagel — Tue, 09 Sep 2014 18:29:00 -0700

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 …

Brainstorming: How to hire a dude

CosmicBagel — Fri, 04 Jul 2014 11:16:00 -0700

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 …

Programming Language Fluency Rankings

CosmicBagel — Sat, 14 Jun 2014 19:40:00 -0700

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 …

FTP on Windows Azure

CosmicBagel — Sat, 26 Apr 2014 04:48:00 -0700

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 …

The other JavaScripts

CosmicBagel — Tue, 22 Apr 2014 14:07:00 -0700

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 …

A bit of clean code

CosmicBagel — Wed, 06 Nov 2013 22:54:00 -0700

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 …

Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniports

CosmicBagel — Sat, 02 Nov 2013 18:22:00 -0700

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 …

Ghostly fun all up in this

CosmicBagel — Mon, 14 Oct 2013 23:36:00 -0700

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 …
