This really important video about Alexa is a great example of how to use the Alexa API to create a skill.

Ólafur Arnalds remix of Rammstein’s “Zeit” is something perfect.
His own notes about this from Facebook:
When I was 15 years old Rammstein came to Reykjavík. This was going to be one of the biggest shows in Icelandic history. Me and my friends went and headbanged our teenage hearts out. 20 years later I was asked to rework their latest single.
Great to see those two creative universes coming together.

A while ago I found myself in front of my little baby-notebooks screen telling me in no uncertain terms, that “No Bootable Device (was) found”. Hmm. Somehow I remembered that. I also remembered that it’s just a little renaming routine that would solve this annoying issue.
I needed a Hugo shortcode to show a list of posts that belonged to a certain tag, which is quite easy. Add the following to layouts/shortcodes/taglist.html or whatever name you like to use for the shortcode.
I am trying this new “thing” of “reporting” what I was up to in a certain time period this year, and monthly reviews just sound like something normal people would do. So bear with me while I am typing up this report.
