Usage and handling of this weblog

This page describes how to use this blog. Especially for myself, me and I but for you as well. If you want to navigate deeper and understand how to read this blog you should read this page first.

Blog Manifest

This manifest should act as a red line for me to follow to keep the long-term goal in mind. Rules to follow when I write new blog posts.

• Quality over quantity. Because of this, delete old posts which are not accurate anymore or bad quality.
• Write only useful, unique posts. Meaning, no tutorials or How-to’s about software which has a good documentation anyway. Although there are still How-to posts online.
• Write more posts about own projects.
• No posts with less than 300 words. Meaning, do not just comment on others people’s content. Posts should be more like essays.
• Write long intros for the index page.

Categories

• Opinion: (formerly Commented) Posts in which I discuss a specific topic. Some titles of posts begin with Re: to explicitly mark as quote-posts. Such posts reference to some external posts which I’m not the original author of. I don’t want to claim foreign content but want to share the information when I’m thinking it can be helpful.
• Conference: Posts about conferences, meetings, meetups, talks and talk notes.
• Productivity: Posts (like in Project) which really contribute (I hope so) to the community.
• Programming: Programming related posts.
• Project: Posts about my projects.
• RealLife: Posts about real life.
• Security: Security related posts. Most of them are computer security related.
