MarkusTegelane

I have one small question, which is related to freeware, which I distribute on my website and video descriptions. Found here

I made a new blog specifically for Markus' stuff. There I'm going to post description of various technological solutions, which I previously used on my devices, but which are no longer in use. I am also going to add illustrations to every post and often also links to demo files for those who are interested :) You can find the blog here: markuseasjad.blogspot.com

Soon MarkusTegelane website will run a new content management system, the same one that's on markusmaal.ee website, which has been written by me from scratch (apart from Markdown decoder, which is a third party library). The change affects all subsites, including MarkusTegelane+ and MarkusTegelane++ (dev) sites, where both are getting a new interface. Content management system has multiple benefits compared to previous Laserlite system, including: Labelling system, which helps improve the SEO of the site with additional metadata Management of multiple subsites on one admin panel Modular design thanks to widgets Error reporting system Universal design across multiple web apps However, old themes will not work on the new content management system (specifically laserlight and classic), but I try to keep it possible to allow you to use these themes, altough I probably won't really update those legacy pages anymore. The transition won't happen immediately, because I need to dete

Due to security concerns, I am closing the old version of channel database . At 12:00 UTC, it will no longer be possible to use this URL to enter the channel database, instead you are going to see an error message. New version, which you will be able to access in the future, can be found here .

Channel database has always been an important part of my website and now, in 2024, I have rewritten it from scratch in Yii2 framework. I have several reasons for doing this, but one important reason is that the old channel database apps were written in 2020, back when I wasn't as experienced with making PHP applications. The consequence of this is that the code of channel database is now very unreadable and over the years, there have been a lot of bugs, which I have found in the app. Architectually the problem was that about 90% of the code was on a single file and global variables were used everywhere. The situation was a little bit better on the very first versions, but there a lot of the code was duplicated, which created a situation in which changing something in the main view didn't apply to idea box and gallery. The situation got worse, when I discovered serious vulnerabilities in legacy non-Bootstrap versions (which is why I made them inaccessible). Channel databa

Due to the fact that Freenom decided to stop offering .tk domains, it was no longer possible to reserve new .tk domains (which has been in effect for a while now). However, it was possible to manage existing domains and even renew them. Unfortunately now it is no longer possible to visit any website with the .tk TLD. Due to this I am forced to move my Minecraft blog to a new URL - minecraft.markusmaal.ee . As you can see, "Let's mine and craft" is a subdomain of markusmaal.ee now. This change does not effect Feedburner links.
