Playing with authentication in Go
It’s almost 2am and I’m sleepy, but I wanted to write this down while it’s relatively fresh in my mind.

Trying Out Go
A couple of weeks ago I had the genius idea to rewrite SnailLife in Go. I’ve already looked into doing this once before a couple of years ago, but wasn’t really feeling it and stuck with PHP (mostly for nostaligia reasons). Now though, SnailLife is this bloated PHP app. Most of the core functionality is in. After weeks of battling infrastructure issues, when everything was back up and running again, I took a step back and saw how big the app (or rather the 3 apps now) had become. At the same time I’d been reading in passing about Go and became curious, so I figured - why not look into learning Go by rewriting SnailLife? Not because I think Go itself will necessarily make anything better, but because a rewrite might.

Talk on Big Data Tools and Architectures at Foo Cafe
I went to a really interesting talk at Foo Cafe in Stockholm tonight. I stayed almost 2 hours over my time limit, but it was so worth it. The talk was by Martin Neumann, and he gave us an introduction to big data and some tools commonly used to wrangle it. Below are the notes I took throughot the talk. I cleaned them up a tiny bit, but mostly these are just for my personal benefit and are super messy - if you didn’t attend the talk they may not be that useful.
