How to cope, plan and execute

Fri, 25 Oct 2024 09:17:38 +0200

Being self-employed teaches you a lot. Especially how to manage your personal resources.

When dealing with work we develop individual strategies to plan, communicate and execute.

Sharing these strategies is rather difficult. What works well for you might not work for somebody else at all.

So instead of another productivity-hack-post I tried to thing of a better way to share these strategies. This post is an interview with myself.

Meteor project structure

The Meteor project structure (MPS) is a proposal for a simple file and folder naming specification.

There are several basic distinctions when building a Meteor project structure. First there is a client, server and an imports folder. All folders have specific naming rules and differ in their structure.

Graphql with Apollo, Meteor and React

Sun, 09 Oct 2016 19:39:30 +0000

For my last project I had to build a web application to administrate a MongoDB database. Due to using Meteor quite a lot I heard about Graphql and the Apollostack. Graphql, which is a specification done by Facebook engineers, promises to be the better REST API (which I hope it is). I became curious and decided the build the server API with Apollo. First I tried to evade using the Meteor as build system as I don’t want to get too accustomed to this full-stack ecosystem. However, building a live-reload server and client build system in ES6 with Node.js, Babel and Webpack was simply too much work compared to building this simple web app. So in result this was my stack:

Let’s write a Laravel application – Project template

Fri, 30 Jan 2015 10:28:03 +0000

In web development there are tons of programs and tools and due to that also complex and very different development strategies. Luckily dependency handling got a lot easier. For my Laravel project setup we will use 3 different package managers. Every package manager of course manages a different resource, we will use composer for php packages, npm for everything related to Node.js and Bower for web packages.

Manage ActiveDirectory Distribution Groups

Tue, 27 Aug 2013 12:39:11 +0000

With Office365 connected with an ADFS you have to redesgin your Exchange distribution groups. ADFS only syncs distribution groups that have these definitions:

~~Group scope is universal~~
Group type is distribution
Group members have to be users
- Yes, it's not possible to have security groups or something else as distribution group members.

My idea was simple, I’m developing a script that creates for every OU and child OU I’m chosing in the ActiveDirectory structure a distribution list containing the users of the chosen OU recursively.
