This is my own personal space. Follow—oops! I mean, bookmark this page and check back every once in a while to see what I'm currently working on. Forgive me if I sound self-absorbed, but honestly, no other place on the web feels as comfortable to me for writing. Perhaps that's because I don't have easy access everywhere to my essential writing toolbox - Emacs. Plus, I might actually be protecting your privacy in the process. 😎

Colors of Web
Ever wondered why so many designers nowadays prefer using hsl()
instead of rgb() for defining colors in CSS? I've explored this
topic in detail and here's my take on it.
Performance and scale testing of your App on Jira DC
If you develop apps for the Atlassian Marketplace, you've probably come across requirements related to performance and scalability testing. We recently received such a notice too.
Initially, I wasn't sure where to begin, but quickly discovered that Atlassian has extensive documentation outlining this process clearly and helpfully. In fact, by following their guidelines carefully, you'll navigate the entire process smoothly.
I documented my journey here to share my personal experience. Consider these detailed notes; they'll also help remind me exactly how to perform these tests efficiently in the future. I hope you find them helpful too.
MacOS Contacts in Emacs
While browsing through the etc/NEWS file in the latest Emacs source
code, I came across a particularly useful feature: Emacs now has a
built-in EUDC backend for MacOS contacts! My online contact list is
synced with macOS Contacts via CardDav, and, with this discovery,
Emacs integrates seamlessly as well.
