  • slashie.net, day 88 (breakdown)

    slashie.net, day 88 (breakdown)

    Using the newly acquired powers of my how-many-days package, I updated the website to optionally show breakdown of projects by year. This means I can finally locate multi-year project into a “main year” where most of the development took place, while at the same time acknowledging the effort put on…

  • slashie.net – day 87 – maintenance

    slashie.net – day 87 – maintenance

    slashie.net is a living collection of my projects and the friends I’ve made things with over the years. It’s a glimpse into the stuff I’ve mostly built for myself (not client work) and includes everything from long-running games to tiny experiments, game jams, abandoned ideas, and strange little side projects…

  • slashie.net website – now with continued work

    Small update on https://slashie.net, now listing the projects that saw continued development over the years (as “Also worked on”)

  • Roguebasin 2021 Migration and some history

    tldr: Roguebasin has been migrated to its own Virtual Machine at DigitalOcean, and upgraded to MediaWiki 1.36.0 + PHP 7.4.3. As a result, it’s currently running MUCH faster and hopefully will not have any downtime. January 16, 2005. I set up the first version of roguebasin using a long-gone service…

  • “Tweet of the Day” added to slashie.net

    Added a component to my project’s website called “tweet of the day”, it picks a project from the list and then formats its data as a tweet. At some point in the future I might set it up so that the tweet is done automatically, for now, I myself am…

  • Slashie.net updated

    Some minor maintenance on my projects’ website, powered by ReactJS, ended up with pretty big changes, the most visible one is the revamp on the “collaborators” section, which now shows what games I worked with that person. Additionally, I added an “activity” classification per project, which can be either active,…

  • 7DRL.com

    Registered the domain and created a simple informative page with links to all other resources; there are many 7drl places already, so I decided to create another one! 🙂 http://7drl.com I also added pics from the entries with highest average score for each one of the 13 previous challenges:

  • Slashware 2017 Infrastructure Map and Yearly Costs

    I have wanted to do this a long time ago, finally decided to do it today. Click for full resolution. Red are unused properties, blue are underused. Total cost right now is about $270.97 in domain registrars, $756 in private hosting, $251.76 in shared hosting, $83.88 in SaaS and $16.99…

  • New slashie.net website, now powered by ReactJS

    The website for my project collection (http://slashie.net) is now powered by ReactJS. I had to learn how to use it so I figured it was a good idea to update it. The previous implementation was powered by mustachejs, which was used with nodejs to generate a static html file. I…

  • Static HTML generation for slashie.net website using MustacheJS

    I did some back-end changes for the slashie.net website, with the idea of making it easier to include new projects and update their status. About one year ago I went for a single page layout, but was doing maintenance over the HTML file… which was a bit frustrating. With the…
