Spicy Ethiopian Berbere በርበሬ Flavoured Hummus
Here’s a great recipe for a spicy hummus dip with a unique flavour! It takes less than 30 minutes to prepare and is both delicious and simple. I love Ethiopian food. I love hummus.

HTTPS For Local Development With React, Django, uWSGI & Docker
I’m building an MVP for a SaaS application that will later be deployed to the cloud (AWS in this case). By default, most local development setups serve (insecure) HTTP connections, but production applications are (or should be) deployed using HTTPS. I wanted to understand and mitigate any issues with HTTPS before deployment, so I decided …
How To Delete A List On Trello
Being unable to directly delete lists on Trello annoys the neatnik and engineer in me. Yes, you can archive them, but it’s not the same- sometimes you just want things deleted (for example when they’re created by mistake, as opposed to just being not relevant to your board anymore).

apc40-mode: Change Firmware Modes On The Akai APC40
The Akai APC40 is a great controller for MIDI mapping to applications (Traktor, etc.) as it has a large and varied set of controls available, along with multi-coloured pads. For a MIDI application to take full advantage of these the APC40 needs to be in Firmware Mode 1; upon power-up, however, the APC40 enters Firmware …
Emulating The Traktor Kontrol F1 – Part 2
Development Setup In Part 1 of this post, I explained the background of this project. Now I’m going to detail the hardware and software development setup I am using. N.B. Since starting this series, Traktor 2.6.2 has been released, which allows MIDI mapping of the Remix Decks. I’ve decided to finish this series anyway, however, …
