Computer scientist, AWS Certified, Platform Engineer
It’ll soon be 2 years since I last wrote here about Platform Engineering. Time flies when you’re busy working. I do think it’s important, however, to take time to show off what you’re working on, get feedback and help others who are trying to head in the same direction. Two years ago I was all over Terragrunt, writing Infrastructure-as-Code for clients in a consulting job.…
Terraform Terraform is a tool that helps Ops, DevOps and Platform Engineers build infrastructure in code. Terraform is really great at helping you plan your infrastructure and deploy it in the correct order. It does this by building a dependency graph within the state you’re applying. However, it is in most cases unrealistic to keep your entire infrastructure in one state file. That is…
I just updated my workstation. Excitement got the better of me and I bought a Lenovo Yoga 910 with FHD screen, i7 7500U Kaby Lake processor, 512gb PCIe m2 harddisk, and 16 gb RAM. This is a rather recent laptop to comfortably run Linux on. It’s a touchscreen model, so I wanted Gnome 3, and I wanted to try an Arch Linux variant and decided to get Antergos . I’m not going to be providing…
During the summer I worked at a startup, based around the concept of screen sharing with zero-configuration on one end. That means the one viewing the screen cast doesn’t need an application or plugin, they just need a browser on a PC or smart device. This is useful for customer service agents who want to quickly show their clients how to do things instead of describing to them “click on account,…

golang-examples : Go’s regexp package has 16 variants of Find*() methods. I’m always confused about which method I should use. Use following cheatsheet to find the right method quickly. 4 methods that return strings. 4 methods that return indexes. If you need to match against []byte, use methods without “String” like “Find” or “FindAllSubmatch”.

So, maybe this post will find its way into search results… So, maybe you’re using Erlang in a Telecom setting… So, maybe you need to work with asn1ct or asn1rt … So, maybe you need to do something with an IMSI or IMEI that you got from decoding an ASN.1 Call Data Record, or GTP’ stream… So, maybe the values look unfamiliar and you need a way to make it look like your familiar old IMSI…
Here is a program for sorting arbitrary amounts of data that is not already in memory. The problem it attempts to solve is sorting data which is streaming in, ie from stdin or network, etc. The way it’s designed is by using two goroutines. One that generates the random numbers, and one that inserts the values into a binary tree. Communication is accomplished by using Go channels .…
I recently decided to take a look at the new programming language, Go, designed by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson, and backed by Google Inc. I’ve used alot of languages for hobby and for work. Started in C, moved to C++, then Perl, Java, Python, and tried my hand with a host of other languages. Each has its strong suits and I like finding new tools for the job. Go’s an…
It really ties a room together!
25. janúar 1958: Varnaðarorð Framsóknar frá tímum afa! Þarna, í kosningaáróðri Framsóknarflokksins í sveitarstjórnarkosningunum 1958 vara Framsóknarmenn á Akureyri, með afa í 9. sæti, við stefnu Sjálfstæðismanna: „Hyggið að því, góðir kjósendur, að hinir ríku, sem eiga að vera eins konar máttarstólpar bæjarfélagsins samkv. íhaldskenningunni, þurfa fyrst að ná auði sínum frá fólkinu.“ Hvað kom…
