So planning and building an e-commerce CMS is harder than it seemed at first. Not that I thought it would be easy.

100 days 2015 – 10 days in
For the past ten days I have been doing the 100 day challenge.
I decided to have a go at building my own e-commerce CMS.
I don’t have a big passion for e-commerce. In fact most of the time I work with e-commerce it frustrates me. But then I always remember hearing the old saying:
“The best way of complaining about something is to try and build something better”.
I won’t say which e-commerce CMS has me often cursing. Those who know me will know by the curses and moaning directed at it.
It feels good to be 10 days in. It’s also the longest commit streak ever on my github account.
I think the biggest thing I am taking away from my 100 day project is the learning I’m doing along the way. The outcome is kind of irrelevant at this point in time — although it would be nice to have something to show for it at the end.

With each extra Laravel component I pull in to use, I increasing think – why not just use Laravel? I then have to remind myself that this whole thing I’m building is an experiment and a learning exercise, so it’s okay.

MKV, as in the audio/video container format, are also known as Matroska Video files. Matroska coming from the Russian word ‘matryoshka’, meaning ‘nesting dolls’.

The more I see how JavaScript gets used in websites I visit, the more I despair. Like when extra content gets loaded in, I click a link in that extra content to go to another page – so far, fine. But then if I click the back button in browser it won’t jump to where I was previously because that content isn’t there any more – not until I scroll down or click the ‘load more’ link at least. I dare say there is a responsible way to approach this. Here’s my idea – just paginate the results and provide page links. Zany idea I know.
