Preventing Mobile Browsers From Turning Off

The following code has been published which prevents a mobile browser from going into sleep mode. This was affecting setTimeout functions as the javascript code in the browser is effectively paused preventing the event loop from processing once sleep mode is activated. I originally looked at nosleep.js but ended up simplifying the code and putting it into a standard module for Vue.js https://github.com/jamesbachini/StayAwake.js The code works by looping through a...

Setting up HTTPS (SSL) with Cloudflare and WordPress

I’ve been working with blockchain and cryptography for 3 years now which is probably a good time to update the old wordpress blog to SSL before anyone notices. Turns out I don’t need to purchase or manage an SSL certificate, which is a shame because I loved breaking things with that certbot thing on linux. If you are just running a wordpress blog or simple website like this one you...

Cryptocurrency During The Next Recession

I learnt the hard (and expensive way) not to try and predict stock market timings so I wont guess when the next recession will occur. Like a knock on the door from someone wanting to talk about Jehovah, you know it’s going to happen but it’s normally at the most inopportune time when you don’t expect it. In this article we are going to look at how a general recession...

Website Monetization With Cryptocurrency Mining

Progressive Optimisation

When looking at conversion rate statistics for a new traffic source it is important to optimise the zone ids as efficiently as possible. What I tend to do is work out roughly what conversion rate I want to target and then put a progressive funnel in place to build up to it. So if a zone only has 5000 impressions it’s hard to tell if it’ll be good or not,...

Book: Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance

Amazon Link: Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance This is a modern classic. To be honest I only found out it was written 40 odd years ago when I got to the end. It is a brilliantly written piece by Robert Pirsig that tells the story of a father and son on a journey across America. The story is a front for a deeper underlying discussion of philosophy. This...
