My budget virtual server in the cloud
— Setting up and securing my server
Years ago I set up a blog and a couple of other things on a shared hosting-server; this was so long ago that virtualized servers were rare. Long overdue I am moving to a virtual private server - with a lot more flexibility. First step is to set up some basic provisioning (I use Ansible) and secure the server (using ufw and fail2ban).

My Notes From QCon London 2016
— I used my iPad Pro to take notes during the conference
My fifth QCon I try a new way to keep engaged and concentrated during the talks. Usually I bore quite easily and my mind wanders off, but taking notes often helps me to focus. I use FreeMind to take notes on my laptop, but this time I have tried the Paper-app by fiftythree.com on my new iPad Pro (with the Apple Pencil).
