Prettifying AWS S3 Bucket public index list
Sometimes it’s useful to have a index listing on a AWS S3 bucket. Here are some solutions to configure it with nice template. If having a public index list on a S3 Bucket is a good idea or not I’m not saying yay or nay.

First set the correct Bucket Policy
```
{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "PublicReadGetObject",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": "*",
            "Action": "s3:GetObject",
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::tmfg-tiesaahistoria/*"
        }
    ]
}
```
Next set Permissions
```
Everyone, List objects Yes
```

There was a discussion in Koodiklinikka Slack about what software people use and that people have made “/uses” pages for that purpose. And inspired by Wes Bos /uses from “Syntax” Podcast here’s my list.

Writing documentation is always a task which isn’t much liked and especially with diagrams and flowcharts there’s the problem of which tools to use. One crafty tool is Draw.io with web and desktop editors but what to use if you want to write documentation as a code and see the changes clearly in text format and maintain source-controlled diagrams?… Jatka lukemista →

Starting with WeeChat

I’ve been using IRC for some time and although Irssi has served me well, it’s time to try something different. WeeChat is a modular chat client with support for IRC and the interesting part is that it’s possible to use other interfaces like glowing-bear web frontend. WeeChat is similar to Irssi so switching over shouldn’t be an issue.… Jatka lukemista →

Creating Vagrant Base Box with Veewee

Vagrant is a great tool for creating and configuring lightweight, reproducible, portable virtual machine environments but the first step for using Vagrant, downloading an existing “base box”, raises some questions. E.g. How are these unverified boxes built? So, you might end up building your own base box which is often time consuming and cumbersome.… Jatka lukemista →

Setting up Bower and Gulp in Windows

Doing things manually is fine once but if you can automate things it’s better. With little tools you can speed up development and reduce recursive mundane tasks such as starting a project or setting up boilerplate code. I recently came across Bower which is a package manager for the web. With Bower you can fetch and install packages from all over, and it takes care of finding, downloading, and saving the stuff you’re looking for.… Jatka lukemista →

Sailfish OS is quite new project which also shows in applications’ user interfaces as common practices are not quite established.
