A lot of short points this week as there was a lot of interest. Where last week brought big rockets, now there are plans for nanocrafts, Facebook held its F8 conference, Microsoft sues the US government, Swift supports Android, and a new Kindle.
Connected devices don't do a lot when their servers are shut down, Tesla's new car, encryption, and rocket landings.
At their Build conference last week, Microsoft had several interesting announcements that I'd like to discuss. Similarly, Apple changed the way they develop their Safari web browser.
Over the past couple of weeks I've written several articles about the things that support Igor, from deployments to installation, but I haven't written much about how it actually works yet. This article aims to rectify that.
At the Docker birthday event last week I decided that instead of working on the Birthday Challenge I would make Igor work on Docker as well. That meant I need to deploy two versions from a single build however, and in this article I'll explain how that works.
I gave a short lightning talk about automating the creation of AWS API Gateways at the AWS Meetup. This is based on the work I did for that on Igor.
For the Golang Hackday in Melbourne I gave a short presentation about Igor, my Slack bot written in Go and running on AWS Lambda. The presentation was partially aimed at beginners of Go.
Docker's birthday made me think about containers, and then there are some more thoughts about online payments and the iPhone SE.
When I set up Igor in Lambda for the first time, I mostly followed the directions as provided in a Lambda template. This template has a description of all the steps that need to be taken, but to be honest it's a bit unwieldy. So I created a script to do this for me.
AWS celebrated its 10th birthday last week, and it has grown incredibly in that time. Lately there have been a couple of pretty big shifts in the cloud as well, and today some things happened for Apple.
For Igor I wanted to make sure that there is always a compiled, and up to date, binary ready for download. The obvious way for me to do this was using Wercker, but this turned out to be a bit more work than I expected, so I'm documenting it here.
Over the past weeks I've been working on a new tool. Now, Igor has reached a state where I'm happy with showing it off and so it's time to introduce it to the world.
Microsoft releases another Linux product and AIs take over the world (or the Go board at least.
More security issues, and a short look at what the Amazon Echo means.
Today someone asked me if it's possible to host a Hugo site on AWS that is only accessible from their company IP. Of course it is, let me explain how.
