My first impression after installing Arch Linux

It seems frightening at first, but it’s not

Eventhough I’ve worked on UNIX/Linux for some time, I have to say I’m not so experienced. Every day you encounter strange issues that not even the UNIX Pro’s could solve them in one shot, and that’s the beauty of UNIX, although looking from up there it looks like a huge maze with no ending, it’s not really like that. There’s always a solution for any problem! Think of it like a challenging game of chess.

Nginx+PHP7 on Alpine Linux as base Docker image

It all started in a calm morning of 2nd June, with the smell of coffee and DevOps email newsletters…then suddenly when I was building my Docker image for Drupal 8 development I realized it was taking too damn long…

Node.js app with Docker on Alpine base image

When Alpine Linux first appeared, I had to give it a go, so I downloaded the first Official Alpine linux docker image and tried it. Conclusion: it was complicated.

Complicated because by then I didn’t know the importance of Docker base image size. So, in order to fight with my greatest fear: the great Alpine Linux image, I decided a few days ago to create a Slack bot having Alpine Linux 3.3 as base image. You can check the progress on my GitHub repo…

ChatOps – a new concept

Until this day, I’ve heard of DevOps, got to know almost everything about it, got a little into its history with a colleague from work, and found out that the concept exists since the ’90s but the term wasn’t quite fixed yet. It was just a concept that not everyone knew exactly what is with it, so basically each person had its own view about this DevOps thingy…

But this post is not about DevOps, I mean it is, kind of… it’s more about ChatOps.

Just today I found a YouTube vid with Jesse Newland that speaks about this concept during his work at GitHub. Clearly, the discussion is focused on Hubot and how it shows Build information or Show notifications in Campfire regarding Deployment, automate graphing, provisioning etc…

Fix romanian fonts (diacritice/diacritics) on Office 2010 @ Xubuntu 14.04.2 LTS

1. About the issue

I’m guessing you’ve already configured the Keyboard Layout for Romanian.

After installing Microsoft Office 2010 with PlayOnLinux v4.2.7 I’ve had issues with displaying Romanian fonts from documents written on other Windows 7 PC’s.

I was getting squares instead of the proper Romanian letters, specifically the problem was with the letters U+021B, U+021A, U+0218, U+0219 (lowercase & upercase T & S “with comma below”) from the standard character encoding.

Setting up SASS/SCSS Support in Netbeans

Great tutorial 🙂

Slew Systems

Overview:

What this post will go over is how to set up SASS/SCSS support in Netbeans. In this example I am running Mac OSX but the steps should be similar for Windows or Linux (other than file locations).

What You’ll Need:

1. Netbeans 7.4
2. Ruby (this comes with Mac OSX)
3. Ruby Gems
4. Sass Gem

Let’s Get Started!

Installing Ruby and the SASS gem:

1. If you have not already please install Ruby Gems. If you are using Windows or Linux you will need to install Ruby first. If you are running Windows I suggest you use RubyInstaller!
2. After you install Ruby you’ll need to install the SASS gem. To do this, open up Terminal or if on Windows launch “Command prompt with Ruby” which is installed with RubyInstaller.
3. Type in “gem install sass -V” The -V flag will allow you to see what it is installing in case it hangs…

WordPress theme development

If you want to learn WP Theme Development, you need to start with the basics:

• Step one in WP Theme Dev is learn template hierarchy

These cheatsheets will come in handy during your work
