Switching to Fairphone 2

I had enough of Windows phone so I bought the Fairphone 2. It's been a long time I was considering buying this phone, but I couldn't just buy a new phone when my current one was still working great. It would be against Fairphone's principles. So I took the opportunity that someone of the family circle wanted a smartphone to give my Lumia 925 and to buy the Fairphone 2 instead.

Migrating from Pluxml to Grav

By changing the design of my website, I also chose to change the CMS I was using leaving Pluxml for Grav. Pluxml is a good CMS, but I had some little issues and I preferred to try something else.

New design for my website

One and a half year after I switched from Wordpress to Pluxml, I changed again my website because I wasn't happy anymore with the global design.

Changing my personal logo

The logo you see at the top of my website has been made three years ago during a work at school called "personal branding". At this time, I wasn't very familiar with tools like Adobe Illustrator and I wasn't very good at graphical work. I will describe in a later post how I designed my new logo with Inkscape, but I will explain here what are the reasons why I designed it like this.

Impressions about Vue.js by doing a dashboard

I got to know Vue.js about two months ago and was greatly impressed by the quality of its guide and API. Imagine. There is one guy alone maintaining the framework and he manages to keep an up-to-date documentation. Since then, he has got to search for more people, and the team is increasing in size, but very slowly. So, seduced by the way the documentation is clearly written and easy to understand, I decided to try Vue.js on a teamwork I had to do for a company as part of my studies. I had to develop a dashboard displaying data and charts when clicking on points on a map. Before the dashboard I first had to process 100GB of data to get only the interesting information and to aggregate this information into one simple PostgreSQL database (the final data was no more than 25MB afterwards). This was also an incredible work, but I won't talk about it in this post.
