By Johan Thelin | Published: 2020-12-04

So, I decided to do Advent of Code this year too. I usually get stuck part of the way, but I still think that it is a fun exercise. This year the plan is to use python and pytest the whole way through. Every day that i learn something that I want to remember, I […]

Intense weeks

By Johan Thelin | Published: 2020-10-19

End of October turns out to be one of the highs when it comes to workload this year. Everything happens at once – there are two public events that I’d like to tell you about. The first one is running lights. This is an annual running competition organized by AIF Friidrott, the sports club my […]

Felgo in the QML Book

By Johan Thelin | Published: 2020-09-21

Over the past year I’ve been bumping into the Felgo crew at various Qt events. They take Qt to the next level. It all started as a game development framework for Qt, but has turned into a powerful app development framework taking a lot of the rough corners of Qt, and extending the tooling with […]

Akademy 2020

By Johan Thelin | Published: 2020-09-07

I had the pleasure of speaking at Akademy 2020 this weekend. This year Akademy is virtual, but I still got the feeling of a very interactive event. Interesting questions, greenroom for the speakers, and generally a nice experience. Big thank you to the organizers! The video below should start roughly when I go on stage. […]

The API wars – 16 years later

By Johan Thelin | Published: 2020-08-17

Adventures in (Dyn)DNS

By Johan Thelin | Published: 2020-07-31

So, I made the silly move to rely on my hardware supplier to provide me with a dynamic DNS service. Naturally, this offer expired, and I could no longer reach my home server. Because of Murphy, this naturally took place when I was away from home with no access to anything. So – how does […]

It finally arrived

By Johan Thelin | Published: 2020-07-19

After waiting a bit over a month, followed by an agonizing week when the new gizmo was at my DHL pickup point and I was some 2h by car away in our summer house. What gizmo? A Pinebook Pro! The Pinebook comes in many layers. Like, properly many. I guess this means that it is […]

As some of you might already have noticed, we’ve complemented foss-north with a new pod / vod / vlog – I’m not sure what to call it. Basically, it is a video based pod cast (making it available as a audio only pod-cast is high on the todo). Our main focus right now is a […]

foss-north: Enablement Talks

By Johan Thelin | Published: 2020-05-29

During foss-north 2020 we had a group of talks related to using free and open source in various settings. I call them enablement talks. Someone with a more salesy mind might have said success stories. This year we had tree such talks. One from about SVT’s (the Swedish public TV broadcaster) video streaming platform by […]
