• The Utopia of Rules
• What an SSH Tunnel Actually Does and When You Should Use One
• Double – new library from JMac. He does Good Stuff[tm]
• NGINX S3 Gateway – I might need this next week
• The Route Table Is the Contract: Claim Checks Behind a Gateway – Or maybe this

• “A Very Unnoffical and Definitely not Definitive List of Principles of Timeless Design” by James Shackell in Never Too Small is really good. (NTS is likely my favourite magazine discovery of the year.) Spoiler, here are the principles

  2. Timeless Design /is simple/
  3. Timeless Design /has emotional durability/
  4. Timeless Design /is quality design/
  5. Timeless Design /is revolution/
  6. Timeless Design /is loose fit/
• Yvonne Hung’s fans – I’m a fan
• Fifteen Tics – One thing I miss from the RSS heyday is Rands. Yes, he still has a feed, but I don’t have an offline reader I like. And yes, that is an Adam shaped problem.
