A 2019 reading list

Here be the books I’m attempting to get through this year. Most have been sitting in my book case forever. I was going for one a month, but decided to add a few more, since: I got to the last part of “The War on Science” nearly a year ago; have already read the first edition of “Wolfenstein 3D”; and have already started “Algorithms to Live By” and “The Disaster Artist”.

Of course, reading any of the books assumes I won’t binge watch Netflix, but the German sci-fi thriller “Dark” is rather good and I need to finish it right now. BRB, books.

2020 UPDATE: I got through “Doom”, “Wolfenstein 3D”, “The war on science”, “Peopleware”, “The Disaster Artist”, “Where war lives”.  I have to do better this year…

Docker image to run a quick PHP test server

I had a need to run a PHP-capable web server on my Vagrant box to locally test some Javascript that queried a database via PHP, and then presented that via Google Charts.  This Docker image suited that use case just fine.  Replace <full path to location you want as root> as appropriate:

sudo docker run --name web-server -p 127.0.0.1:80:80 -v /opt/mysql:/var/lib/mysql -v <full path to location you want as root>:/web -d osws/php-web-server
