Air Quality in Northern Thailand: A Practical Smoke-Season Plan

By Greg Nowak. Last updated 2026-07-17.

Air quality in Northern Thailand is not merely a travel concern. For a business owner, operations lead, or agency team, smoke can disrupt site visits, outdoor production, staff wellbeing, transport, accommodation, and client plans.

The useful question is not whether Chiang Mai is “safe” for an entire month. Conditions change by hour, day, and location. Treat air quality as an operating variable: monitor reliable data, decide in advance what different conditions will change, and maintain a credible indoor fallback.

Sending Mail with Drupal: Reliable Email Setup for Business Sites

By Greg Nowak. Last updated 2026-06-30.

Email is one of those Drupal features that only gets attention after it fails. A password reset does not arrive. A quote request lands in spam. An internal approval email works on staging but disappears in production. The site may look healthy, while the business process behind it is leaking trust.

Enable TLS on a Linux Mail Server Without Breaking Delivery

By Greg Nowak. Last updated 2026-06-30.

Enabling TLS on a Linux mail server is not a cosmetic security task. It protects credentials in transit, gives remote systems a basic signal that the server is maintained, and prevents a whole class of avoidable support calls. The trap is thinking that one TLS setting solves the whole mail problem. A server can encrypt traffic and still fail because the wrong port is strict, the certificate name does not match, renewals are not reloaded, or DNS tells receivers a different story.

Web Browser Automation for Operations and Agency Teams: A Practical Guide

By Greg Nowak. Last updated 2026-07-06.

Browser automation is useful when a team is still doing important work by hand in web portals: downloading supplier reports, checking campaign pages before launch, copying order data, testing forms, or collecting screenshots from authenticated systems. It is not magic, and it is not always the first tool to reach for. But when the browser is the only realistic interface, a well-built automation can remove repetitive work and make the process easier to audit.

Lenovo T450s Thinkpad Screen Connectivity Issues

Recently I am experiencing bad connectivity on my LCD-screen. It seems to happen randomly and periodically. The connection is disrupted and a gray darkish void appears on the screen. Sometimes this can be ammended by moving the screen up and down but the bulletproof solution is to suspend the laptop and wake it up again, then the screen works properly. Sometimes for hours sometimes only for minutes. Last time I managed to remove and reattach the left hand side LCD-connector from the motherboard. This releived the problem for a couple of days, but now it's back again.

Drupal 8 Development in 2026: Safe Legacy Work and Upgrade Planning

By Greg Nowak. Last updated 2026-07-04.

Drupal 8 development in 2026 needs a different mindset from ordinary feature delivery. If you are planning a new Drupal build, Drupal 8 is not a sensible target. If you have inherited a live Drupal 8 site, however, development may still be unavoidable: fixing blocked workflows, keeping publishing moving, stabilizing integrations, and preparing the site for a supported future.

Recommended WordPress Plugins for Business Websites: Keep the Stack Lean

By Greg Nowak. Last updated 2026-07-09.

Most business WordPress sites do not need a bigger plugin list. They need a smaller stack with a clear job for every plugin, a named owner, and enough documentation that the next agency or internal team can maintain it without guesswork.

Svar angående htaccess-fil til adgangskodebeskyttelse af mappe

Din htpasswd ligger ikke på serverroden /.

Den ligger på /var/www/[DOMAIN]/public_html/ eller /var/www/[DOMAIN]/

det giver ingen mening at lave en .htaccess fil udenfor dit web space /public html, men en god idé at placere din .htpasswd dér. For eksempel: "AuthUserFile /var/www/grn.dk/.htpasswd"

Inline Image Pasting in Drupal: Faster Editing, Cleaner Media

By Greg Nowak. Last updated 2026-07-07.

Inline image pasting is a small Drupal feature with a real operational payoff. When editors are publishing screenshots, support notes, QA findings, product callouts, or agency handoff documentation, the difference between paste-and-continue and download-upload-insert can decide whether the CMS feels helpful or hostile.

Canonical Apache Redirects: Send index.html and index.php to the Root URL

By Greg Nowak. Last updated 2026-07-06.

URLs such as /index.html and /index.php usually point to the same content as the directory root. That sounds harmless until the same page is crawled, linked, reported, and shared under several different addresses. For a business owner, operations lead, or agency team, the result is not just an SEO detail. It makes campaign reporting less tidy, complicates migration checks, and creates avoidable questions during a redesign or CMS handover.

Fix the HTTPRL Network Configuration Error in Drupal 7

By Greg Nowak. Last updated 2026-07-01.

When a Drupal 7 status report says that HTTPRL or drupal_http_request() cannot access web pages, the site is often not broken in the way it first looks. Public pages may still load for visitors. Editors may still be able to log in. The failing part is usually Drupal's ability to make an HTTP request from the server back to itself.

Image conversion and compression

I am not sure where I put all my notes on imagemagick and the tool convert included in image magick.

Here is one a cool image compression: convert -strip -interlace Plane -gaussian-blur 0.05 -quality 85% source.jpg result.jpg

To make google speed happy: convert -strip -interlace Plane -gaussian-blur 0.05 -quality 65 -interlace JPEG -sampling-factor 4:2:0 -colorspace sRGB The-Garden-600px.jpg The-Garden-600px.jpg

Or this: -sampling-factor 4:2:0 -strip -quality 85 -interlace JPEG -colorspace sRGB
