Bootstrapped
http://www.simonkrueger.com/2014/06/28/bootstrapped.html
Saturday, June 28th 2014. I've updated the site's design today. I used bootstrap. To do most of the work. I've been in love with bootstrap ever since I learned about it a month ago. It provides tons of CSS components to easily arrange a website. It is so easy, part of me feels like I am cheating. If you haven't heard of it I highly recommend you check it out. It makes web site construction a joy. I'm a Co-Founder and Co-CTO at Things for Work. Batch Updating In React. Encrypting Secrets With Knife Solo.

Pot Odds
http://www.simonkrueger.com/2014/09/30/pot-odds.html
Tuesday, September 30th 2014. Because if the player places the bet and wins, they'll get $400. If they place the bet and lose, they'll lose $100. If the player repeated this scenario indefinitely, they would get $400 every fourth time, which would be greater than the $300 they lost from the previous three bets.

Jekyll
http://www.simonkrueger.com/2014/07/27/Jekyll.html
Sunday, July 27th 2014. I changed the site this week to be generated with Jekyll. And I couldn’t be happier. A friend of mine told me about it a few months ago. It wasn’t until I started growing this site did I see how awesome and useful it is. It was very easy for me. It took me about an hour to learn and move everything over. I’m very excited and I am looking forward to using it more. I'm a Co-Founder and Co-CTO at Things for Work. I write about software development and other topics that interest me.

Tmux
http://www.simonkrueger.com/2015/05/17/tmux.html
Sunday, May 17th 2015. I finally got around to learning tmux. This morning. Tmux is basically a beefed up version of GNU Screen. It hosts virtual terminal sessions and it allows you to split up a single terminal window into multiple ones. My co-founder, Sam, was the one to suggest using tmux. He suggested using it about a week ago or so. However, I put off learning it until I discovered this crash course. Followed by an additional key (e.g.,. To move around,. To enter into selection,. I love learning, mu...
