MaX Saxe Design is continuing to migrate to Cloudflare Workers along with starting new projects afresh on Cloudflare Workers and KV. MaX Saxe Design is in the waiting list for Cloudflare Pages. The new projects work well with private development before adding routes for production availability.

Ghost Blog Switch User

Ghost Blog has become such a wonderfully powerful content management system (CMS) and blogging platform. I would like to see multiple-user login built into Ghost allowing switching between multiple users.

Ghost (Blog) Pro on Cloudflare Pages, Workers, KV

At present, Ghost Pro is hosted on DigitalOcean droplets and protected by Cloudflare infrastructure preventing DDoS taking down any Ghost Pro blogs. I wonder how long it will be until Ghost Pro is transferred to completely running on Cloudflare Pages, Workers, KV.

Apple Mac Pro Display Connectivity

If Apple's Thunderbolt routing had taken into account all of the display capabilities of these GPUs and had utilised the 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes from an AMD Epyc 7002-series processor, the four GPU combo would be capable of driving sixteen 4K displays with resolutions of 3840 x 2160 at 60Hz.

A New Apple vs. An Older Apple

As expected, the prices for the 2019 MacBook Pro are lower than the 2018 MacBook Pro whilst improving most components.

Mellanox and Microsoft in Bed

A little late talking about the news (from 20th December 2018); however, this is my thoughts on the story about Microsoft mulling over the idea of buying Mellanox which I think would be a horrendous path for Mellanox to take.
