Which developer does not know this situation: you debug like a mad person and form all sorts of crazy theories my the code in front of you does not work. Especially if you are new to a topic — like we are with our shiny new Hugo blog.

When I created the blog, I intended to keep the directory structure identical to the old WordPress blog:

<domain>/<year>/<month>/<day>/<post>

All good and well, until I updated to a different theme, because the minimal theme by Calin Tataru that I originally chose — and which I still find stunningly beautiful in its clean simplicity — is apparently not maintained anymore. At least the last commit dates four years back.

Itsallcode.org is on YouTube now!

Check out our three-and-a-half minute quick-introduction to OpenFastTrace.

If you have a little bit more time you can also watch the presentation we prepared for the Xen Summit.

We also talk about rocket science. :-)

Version 4.0.0 of OpenFastTrace marks an important milestone for us. We now have reStructuredText support, which is something that Python users have been waiting for quite a while now.

For more awesome new features check out the release letter.

If you ever have to selectively convert WordPress blog articles to a static web page, take a look at the Firefox extension “Copy as Markdown”. It’s a real time saver.

Today I had a good opportunity to reflect on how I select software. Of course there are rational criteria like whether it is open source, has regular releases, gets good reviews and so on.

But then there is also the matter of taste.
