Web and app developer. Coffee, beer, and running, in any order.
I spent Tuesday and Wednesday at the Connect.Tech conference. My biggest takeaways were around improving my development practices, but here’s an overview of all the sessions I attended.
Recently our team ran into a problem with getting the URL path in an ASP.NET Core MVC project. We were getting different results running locally versus deployed to our QA environment. Enter HttpRequest.PathBase.
Another artifact of the Django site migration to Dreamhost VPS is that Django thought absolute URLs should be http, not https. Which meant all my pages link[rel=canonical] tags were for http. Here’s how I fixed it.
I’ve found myself wanting to check if a webpage supports webmentions while internetting, so I made a bookmarklet for it.
With Dreamhost dropping support for Passenger, it took far too much work to migrate my site to Gunicorn. Maybe this will help someone else who’s going through the same thing.
