Welcome in the year 2022! My first view of the rising sun in 2022
Just the perfect time to start a new round of my blog.
This time, I’m using Elixir and Phoenix. And as before with PHP, Ruby, Java, and
what not, this blog exists only as a playground for my developments.
Don’t exp....

I love Elixir and the implementation of protocols. Here is an example of how you
can implement a protocol for a given data type/structure.
What this example shows:
1st: There is a protocol named Usecase. It declares all functions of the
implementation of the protocol Usecase needs.
So, you can execute it like so:
Define a module for your use casedefmoduleDateUsecasedouseClean# <= this impl....

The last couple of weeks I ran ArchLinux and did a lot of “playing around with stuff”. Now, I finally decide, I will use ArchLinux for my daily workstation.
I did all of my investigations on a cheep AMD-PC. But now, as I know what I really want to be my workstation looks like, I installed ArchoLinuxD with i3wm on an 10 years old MacBookPro. The old MacBook doesn’t work with current OS X anyways. But look what....

Since I set up my little Linux box- after sticking with Mac for decades -I could manage
a simple and easy setup. The only thing that drives me crazy was the lack of “natural
scrolling.”
After a lot of research, try and fail, and hair scrambling, finally, here is how I

# $HOME/bin/natural_scrolling
id=`xinput list | grep -i "Wireless Device Mo....
