The tiniest presentation framework

posted in JavaScript on 2022-03-06   presentation framework html javascript

I did roughly 50 talks over the years, and for almost all of them, I used Reveal.js. I like it because it's HTML-based. I have complete control of everything and can easily publish the slides online. However, one thing bugs me every single time - the size of my content. I want to use all the available space. This becomes very important when I'm showing code to people. That's why I wrote SimPre. It's a 10KB HTML presentation framework that properly scales and positions my content.

Email not working after DNS change

posted in Architecture on 2020-02-07   email dns not working zeit domain working google mx record mail server services thing

I just recently moved my outset.ws domain to Zeit name servers. That's my 13 years old domain which I'm not using it anymore. It makes sense to point to krasimirtsonev.com. The thing is that I have an email which is used all over the net. I of course want to keep that email. And suddenly I wasn't able to receive messages to it. I started missing some very important emails. Like bills that have to be paid and GitHub notifications.

VSCode go to definition/implementation fixed

posted in JavaScript on 2020-01-17   vscode typescript intellisense problem implementation working common fixed definition

I just spent ~2 hours on this and I had to blog about it. I bet I will come back to the same problem and it will be nice to have a quick solution at hand. And the problem that I'm talking about is the non working Go to definition or Go to implementation feature of VSCode. Or in other words the JavaScript IntelliSense was not working for me. Of course it was annoying because I had to navigate to files manually via the folder tree on the left or typing the name of the file in the Cmd+Shift+P popup.

Implementing an async queue in 23 lines of code

posted in JavaScript on 2018-05-07   tasks taskindex getnexttask numofworkers function result promise task array process error run

Recently we had an interesting task at work. The user makes a selection of items and clicks a button. Then for every selected item we have to make a request to our API. The thing is that the user may click as many items as he/she wants. In order to speed up the process we decided to handle four requests in parallel and once some of them is finished we pull the next one. If you ask why exactly four requests in parallel read this paper.

The proper way of fixing bugs

posted in Must-see on 2015-02-11   bug problem time system parts don t fix steps work

I could split my programming experience in two parts. The first one is a little bit more creative. That's the time where the application still does not exist. You invent and architect the program. The second part is extending and fixing the already created system. They, these two parts, have their own interesting and boring sides. However, I believe that they both are in the essence of delivering quality software. This article focuses on bug fixing. It aims to give you bunch of advices how to properly handle the problems in your applications.

PHP developers - wake up!

posted in PHP on 2013-01-16   code time things framework don t good modules writing people big

PHP is one of the most popular back-end solutions available. However, I think that there is something wrong with the way we are using it. It is really popular to use some giant framework, with a lot of features. Generally, I'm not a big fan of this approach. Even if the framework is well documented and has big community it still adds some restrictions and complexity. Many people are trying to build the perfect framework, which covers as many cases as possible, but the true is that it is not possible. In this article I'll present you my vision about PHP programming and I will be very happy if you share yours.

Basic PHP authentication

posted in PHP on 2011-10-17   php_auth_pw php_auth_user password username works

The .htaccess file is actually a possible solution for this purpose. The problem with this approach is that the value of AuthUserFile should contain an absolute path. It also works with relative paths, but it is relative based on ServerRoot, which in most of the cases is different from DocumentRoot. I also didn't want to deal with sessions or cookies and after a short research I found the answer.

Great review for krasimirtsonev.com

posted in Other on 2010-09-27   site navigation simple link clean column tim martinez background work

Special thanks to Tim Martinez for his review in HumberInteractive.com.Tim Martinez:"The site I chose is the portfolio site of Web Designer and Developer, Krasimir Tsonev.When you hit the site, right off the bat you’re presented with a simple pre-loader and then up comes the navigation. I like the navigation because it starts off centred and one column. I like that the focus is on the navigation and it’s just so clean. The menu has a large font and is easy to read, plus you get a cool rollover. Now when you click on something in the navigation, it gives you what you want right away. When you click on “Work”, then the navigation shifts over and you get a two-column thing going on. The second column then has the submenu items under Work and you get sweet rollovers again. The site’s functionality is very simple. The site’s layout is just so simple. I like it.

Export mysql data to SQL script or CSV

posted in PHP on 2010-09-04   server data mysql export good solution phpmyadmin didn t work export data php file mysql exe mysql server received host

Yesterday I received host name, user name and password for a MySQL server. I needed to export the data from it. I didn't have access to PHPMyAdmin, I tried to connect to the server by mysql.exe on my PC, but it didn't work. And then I found really good solution - PHPMyAdmin in only one php file. I launched it from my localhost and it works. So if you need to export data or just see it, use Adminer. I also uploaded the file on my server, you can download it from here.
