// This disables all of that stuff.

Automating Daily Reports, because fuck it, really...

Each day at our company, developers are required to document their activities, painstakingly jotting down their daily work and future plans. A monotonous chore that I just really dislike.

How to setup a practically free CDN

I've been using [Backblaze][bbz] for a while now as my online backup service. I have used a few others in the past. None were particularly satisfactory until Backblaze came along.

It was - still is - keenly priced at a flat $5 (£4) per month for unlimited backup (I've currently got just under half a terabyte backed-up). It has a fast, reliable client. The company itself is [transparent about their operations][trans] and [generous with their knowledge sharing][blog]. To me, this says they understand their customers well. I've never had reliability problems and everything about the outfit exudes a sense of simple, quick, solid quality. The service has even saved the day on a couple of occasions where I've lost files.

Safe to say, I'm a happy customer. If you're not already using Backblaze, [I highly recommend you do][recommend].

Configure XDebug, Visual Studio Code for a Vagrant VM

1. Assumptions

• Project (Drupal) is served on /var/www/html in the Vagrant box
• Local project files location: c:\Users\username\Work\projects\my-project\repo\html
• Guest machine IP is 10.0.2.2 (if this doesn't work, run route -nee in the VM and look for the gateway address)

2. Configuration

    const history = context.history;
