In this post, I talk about which productivity tools I use for my work as a developer, my personal development projects and my personal life.

Several years ago, I bought an old, colorful iMac G3 running Mac OS 9. It runs my old software wonderfully, but an emulated version of Mac OS 9 on my modern MacBook Pro is just so much more convenient.

I recently wrote a small script using TypeScript that can be used to determine the size of the view port using the breakpoints as defined by Bootstrap.

I am happy to announce version 1.0.0 of BookJournal has been released! The program is free and available for Windows, macOS and Linux.

My history blog, History Rhymes, is the latest of my websites to receive an update. The new website underwent a general overhaul and also gained a new feature.

I have continued to take advantage of the extra time provided by the coronavirus to rewrite my portfolio website using Next.js and Material UI.

I have been taking advantage of the additional time I’ve had at home during the coronavirus pandemic to redesign and rewrite a bunch of my websites using newer technologies. Version 3.0 of my blog was released this morning.

I am happy to announce that my official music website has received a brand new design. The website is based off of Next.js and is optimized for performance both on desktop and mobile.

I am excited to announce the first public release of a program I have been working on for the past year or so. It is called BookJournal and is exactly what the name says it is: a digital book journal.

I am happy to announce that my newest band, Spectre, has released its first album named “Polarity.”

While adding a linter to an old project, I wrote the following bash script to convert 4-space indentations to 2-space indentations. This example recursively looks for *.js files starting at the script’s location. Of course, it can be used for any type of file though by simply changing the extension.

For about two years I have been using Grunt to compile my SASS files into CSS for projects for work as well as for personal projects such as this website. This workflow has served me well and I still use it for most of my PHP-based projects. However, I’ve come up with an even easier and faster solution for my Node.js-based applications.
