Wayback Machine
Thanks to the fabulous wayback machine, I have imported my blog from between 1999 and 2006. It's not properly formatted and most of the images are missing, but it's somewhat interesting to read the things my younger self wrote about 15 years ago.

To web or not?
I have pondered a long time whether to learn web programming for my customers' services app, so that they can access their user & device statistics, crash logs, manage service messages, push messages, etc. I now have decided not to pursue this path. Web technology is a mess, even more than mobile technology. It's lacking a clear separation of layers and although many frameworks nowadays are using MVC or similar patterns, I feel I have to do too many things at once (web service, html templating, css design, java script for interactive stuff, etc.) to really make a professional web...
Porting an assembler, debugger, and more to WebAssembly
WebAssembly is pretty cool! It lets you write portable C and cross-compile it to JavaScript so it’ll run in a web browser. As the maintainer of KnightOS, I looked to WASM as a potential means of reducing the cost of entry for new developers hoping to target the OS.
Note: this article uses JavaScript to run all of this stuff in your web browser. I don't use any third-party scripts, tracking, or anything else icky. Rationale for WASMThere are several pieces of software in the toolchain that are required to write and test software for KnightOS:

There will be a suckless assembly at the 31C3. The whole suckless community is invited to come, meet and hack!
Simplify your life
After 6 years being co-director and CTO of LaTe App-Developers, I feel it is time to make some changes. It's not that mobile development is no longer interesting to me, however after doing (too) many small (5-20 person days) iOS projects, I need some new challenges. Project work has been limiting my creativity and enforcing too much regularity in my daily routine. Besides, there's hardly any room to do compelling software architecture work in projects of said size. You're rather constantly working against the time in order to make some profit with those fixed-price projects. This year I took three...
On the profitability of image hosting websites
I’ve been doing a lot of thought about whether or not it’s even possible to both run a simple website and turn a profit from it and maintain a high quality of service. In particular, I’m thinking about image hosts, considering that I run one (a rather unprofitable one, too), but I would think that my thoughts on this matter apply to more kinds of websites. That being said, I’ll just talk about media hosting because that’s where I have tangible expertise.
I think that all image hosts suffer from the same sad pattern of eventual failure. That pattern is:

Ok, thanks for pushing me in right direction.
I’ve made an update site and a page for plugin at Fiji’s wiki.

Yes, I thought about it, thanks for comment. I just need to go through the FIJI submission workflow/requirements.
