I finally released a new major version of jsb.

With 2.0 there are two breaking changes (you might still use 1.x series, if you rely on those.

1. The global JsBehaviourToolkit got removed #20.
2. A input[hidden] cannot be used as data source anymore #17.

That's it.

But jsb 2.0 comes with some cool additions.

While working with the facebook api (to fetch data about a facebook page), I noticed the following error:

{
  "error": {
    "message": "Unsupported get request.",
    "type": "GraphMethodException",
    "code": 100
  }
}

While I was working on puppet-rvm, I noticed that the shell providers of puppet do not run as login shell.

This means:

exec { "echo $PATH"
  provider => "shell"
}

will have an empty path, because the .bashrc and others have not been loaded.

TL;DR: I released iasur to provide one click hosting service for your (local) network.

If you create css/html and if you want to send a snapshot of your work to the client, you have plenty of ways to do it.

E-Mail with .zip file could work, but means you have to do everything into the zip and explain to your client how to open local files in her/his browser.

So you need something like codepen.io for client work.

TL;DR: I released pp-ngnix on github to provide a declarative way for provisioning ngnix servers, locations and their directives.

I usually set up machines with the nginx package of jfryman (formerly from puppetlabs) or the module of example24.

First of all: I really respect all the hard work which has been put into those modules.

But they do not work for my use cases. I think the high amount of github forks (365 at the time of writing) shows, that the modules are not really usable without modifications. Like R.I. Pienaar noted in his blog: usage of params.pp for configuration forces your users to fork you module IF they want to modify it (happens to me always in production).

I did some code review to find out, what does not work for me with those modules. Here are my key problems, with those modules.
