While much attention has been focused on high-level software architectural patterns, what is, in effect, the de-facto standard software architecture is seldom discussed. This paper examines this most frequently deployed of software architectures: the BIG BALL OF MUD. A BIG BALL OF MUD is a casually, even haphazardly, structured system. Its organization, if one can call it that, is dictated more by expediency than design. Yet, its enduring popularity cannot merely be indicative of a general disregard for architecture.

I have OpenBSD running on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ as a home server hosting this wiki. I really enjoy the secure-by-default stance, quality documentation, and all the nice things they’ve added to the OS to help applications be more secure. It’s quite well-suited for server applications.

Neat is a simple HTML template. It’s tiny, opinionated, and made to last. It’s created by Joel Dare and heavily inspired by other minimalist sites like Hundred Rabbits and dozens of similar blogs.

Neat is about 2Kb and that is not minified or compressed. This documentation adds a few more bytes.

“That’s pretty neat!”

Books on graphic design (and typography) is an independent selection of books on graphic design and typography, curated by designer Theo van Beurden. Each book has been individually selected and manually added to the list, which is subject to change. Books are occasionally added or removed. Under the motto “don’t judge a book by its cover”, the format focuses on the title, author, publisher and volume of the books.

Tools for Thought is an exercise in retrospective futurism; that is, I wrote it in the early 1980s, attempting to look at what the mid 1990s would be like. My odyssey started when I discovered Xerox PARC and Doug Engelbart and realized that all the journalists who had descended upon Silicon Valley were missing the real story.
