This message, related to the development of the theme, only displays on the localhost homepage to notify you of any important theme changes.


Version 2.0.0 - July 20, 2020

Below are the following changes that could be breaking changes for your site. For more details on any change, please refer to PR #154.

The major breaking change is:

  1. Users that have front matter that utilize images (backwards compatibility for featured and associated parameters still remains) will need to adjust from [images]="SRC" to the new format.
[[images]]
    src = "" // Link to image
    alt = "" // Alt text for image
    stretch = // Optional: See screenshots for referenced values and outcomes

If you utilize any of the following, there might be a breaking:

  1. User custom templates may require adjustment.
  2. User custom i18n languages, or custom templates referencing i18n translations may require adjustment.
  3. User custom template for comments will require adjustment if it uses the theme’s CSS and/or JS.
  4. User custom CSS may need to adjust due to a variety of class name changes and specificity changes.

While I realize this is inconvenient, I hope that it is worth it to you in the long run. Thanks for using the theme, and feel free to submit issues as needed.

CloudWatch isn't just for the cloud

How to extend CloudWatch to monitor and graph whatever you like

4-Minute Read

Amazon CloudWatch is an inexpensive way to monitor your solution in AWS and due to the extensive set of metrics provided for every AWS service out of the box, it’s easy and quick to adopt. Granted it’s not going to replace your enterprise monitoring solution overnight, but for those who haven’t got the time or justification to spin up their own Nagios/Zabbix/OpsView solution it can do basic event monitoring and alerting.

Who needs a Homelab anyway?

I'm throwing it all at the cloud instead

I’ll start this post by setting out my stall - I’m a self confessed geek. I tinker, tweak and enjoy experimenting with new technologies. The arrival of my daughter a couple of years ago did reduce my tinkering time drastically but I digress.

A potted history of TV-am

A hark back to breakfast TV in years gone by

Eggcups

In the 1980s, I have vivid memories of waking up early in the morning and watching ‘Good Morning Britain’. TV-am, the first commercial breakfast show in the UK, was broadcast from Hawley Crescent in Camden Town, London.
