I just received a Xiaomi Mi3, chinese Android phone, for a work project, and wanted to put it in developer mode. Most guides are for Android 4.2 and 4.3, but this one had version 4.4.2. The guides advice to tap 7 times the Android version, but that will just give you a really weird easter-egg. Instead, tap the build version seven times, and it will go into development mode.

Now that I'm working on my blog, I get to go through my previous blog posts. It's kind of having a chat with the me from the past. :-)

I'd like to have a quick comment on Minus points for the 2011 iMac. All I said there holds true. And you know what? I got a couple of Mac Minis added to that office. And they are gone again. First I used one for my TV, then I had one in my closet as a scanning server. I detached it. Now, I must admit, I don't know where it's gone. It's been gone a while. Probably to a better place where it's actually used.

I also got the MacBook Air. It was a fantastic machine! I would use my iMac as a screen. Then I would boot my iMac of the Macbook Air via Thunderbolt. Then my Air wouldn't boot, and finally the hard drive gave in, in all its ...

By now I have gone through a number of Elixir web frameworks, a web framework in Cocoa, and not really been able to release my homepage in a way that I liked. So what would be more natural than to drop the code and try something else, perhaps something that I've worked on before and found wanting? Hello Node.js (+Express & CoffeeScript).

One of the issues I'd had last time I worked with Node.js was that debugging was hard, or console.log based. This time I found that someone had made a Eclipse distribution with Node.js support. Turns out, syntax highlighting and debugging CoffeeScript is still flaky. But I can step through most of the dependencies ...

In my last post, I was exploring new web frameworks to migrate to, while learning more Elixir. I attempted a few, but learning a framework can be uphill, especially when not being fluent in the language. The main frustrating point was not being able to understand the errors I was getting. They were usually in one, long, truncated line. So not only was it formatted poorly, it didn't give me all the information that was intended for me. I didn't really find a good way of getting better error information or analyzing the errors I was getting, so finally I gave up... for now.

So I went back to what I know, and I know Objective-C and Cocoa really, really well. And there are a few webservers for it. I grabbed

My first "real" Elixir project was to build my own homepage with my blog and portfolio. I wrote it using Dynamo. Not the best of choices, since it now recommends I look other places. The options I've found so far are:
