Just fleeting thoughts that pop into my mind. Or perhaps things I’ve been thinking about that don’t really warrant a full-on post.

  • Sebastian Cabrol — Argentinian illustrator

    I discovered this artist a while back on Facebook. However, like most things my reminder of him sat hidden in my saved posts — hence my page here.

    These are the initial images that I was shown in that first post. I will title them as I learn them and find some favourites when I become more versed in Sebastian’s work.

    Quick Facts

    • Sebastian has worked on Marvel comic ‘Falcon’ – His issues.

  • Docker braindump

    These are currently random notes and are not much help to anybody yet. They will get tidied as I add to the page.

    Docker Swarm

    Docker swarm secrets

    From inside a docker swarm manager node, there are two ways of creating a secret.

    Using a string value:

    printf <your_secret_value> | docker secret create your_secret_key -

    Using a file path:

    docker secret create your_secret_key ./your_secret_value.json

    Docker swarm secrets are saved, encrypted, and are accessible to containers via a filepath:

    /run/secrets/your_secret_key.

  • Been learning to use Docker Swarm

    After getting half-way through a Docker Mastery series on Udemy, I decided I would like to move my WordPress website, this one, to using a 3-node swarm.

    After a few days of editing and re-arranging my docker-compose.yml file (the local dev configuration file that can also be used for starting up a swarm since compose version 3.3) I have decided to just keep my website hosted on its single regular server. (Although I had already moved the database to its own dedicated server).

    Despite the fact that I haven’t actually managed to move over to using a swarm (and to be honest it isn’t even needed for me) I have managed to dive into a bunch of concepts around Docker and its Swarm component and feel that I have added a few new things to me dev toolkit.

    I think I will definitely be putting together a little demo in a swarm across three separate servers. But for now I will keep my website settled as it is. 😀

    What I have learned – or rather reminded myself of, whilst sat in at home during this damn isolation, is that it is important to keep looking into complimentary technologies around my everyday development skill set.

  • The Art of Junji Ito: Twisted Visions can now be pre-ordered

    Junji Ito displaying his Art book

    The upcoming book, The Art of Junji Ito: Twisted Visions, is now available for pre-order at the following places:

    Amazon

    Book Depository

    Waterstones

    It will be officially released on the 14th May 2020.

    From the picture above it looks like its a good size too — a little larger than A4 size I reckon. All the better to focus in on Junji Ito’s excellent craftsmanship and twisted imagery.

    I’m looking forward to this one as it looks to contain many pieces of Junji Ito’s original artwork. Perhaps even some that were cut from some of his stories?

    How excited are you for this new book?

  • New horror manga – Genkai Chitai (Disturbing Zone) released in Japan

    Junji Ito has launched a brand new horror manga called Genkai Chitai, which is Japanese for Disturbing Zone. It seems to be a part of a new horror omnibus series called “Phantom Zone”.

    From what I can find out so far, it revolves around the more mundane aspects of every day life and how strange occurrences around those things happen. No doubt bringing weird and interesting horror themes into the lives of some very unsuspecting characters.

    It has been released through a publication called “Line”. I have found a website called Line Manga, however, it is only available to be viewed from Japan. 🙁

    I’m really looking forward to reading this one and can’t wait for an official U.K. release.

  • Far From Alive — Resident Evil 2 Rap

    At first I thought that this would be a bit of a gimmick, but it has legit grown on me and is now in my regular playlist.

    I am addicted to running around the world of Raccoon City in Resident Evil 2 and the recently-released Resident Evil 3 Remake.

    I’m looking forward to any music that the same creator can bring from RE3’s world in the coming weeks / months.

    Lyrics by Jim Steinman

    My first time hearing this song was in fact as a cover by Meat Loaf on his album Braver Than We Are. The song was actually written by Jim Steinman whose most well-known collaborator is Meat Loaf. And he has been known to reuse his songs for different artists over the years
