Book Review: Sword of Truth: Book 1 Wizard's First Rule (1994) by Terry Goodkind

By K -

I wasn't really into "Sword of Truth". I've seen some episodes of TV Series and it wasn't impressive. Friend gave me this one as he is a big fan and strongly recommended it to me.
I gave it a chance and it was much better than I thought.

Book isn't perfect or course. I don't know if it's because of my prejudice or it's just how it really is so bear in mind that this is only my opinion.

I was confused especially at the beginning how easily main character switched from being the woods guide to being the "Seeker". I was thinking about it all the time.
I don't know if I should know from the beginning who is going to betray him, i think not, but I knew it...

Still I really like the book and it was gripping :)

Update: If you use Chrome then you can use "Throttling" so simulate slow network for all your assets. This should be easier than proxy. Toggle device mode   Choose Network type. Refresh the page https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/device-mode  Proxy: For some time I wanted to use some proxy for development and testing of eg. slow internet connection, but it was hard to find something useful and free. I know there is Charles but buy it to use it at most one in a month is not for me. I started thinking about Node.js, maybe I can write proxy for me? But fortunately I found one. https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy With this module I can write really short code to create slow server: var http = require('http'), httpProxy = require('http-proxy'); httpProxy.createServer(function (req, res, proxy) { var buffer = httpProxy.buffer(req); setTimeout(function () { proxy.proxyRequest(req, res, { host:...

Safari Mobile CSS VW and VH units bug.

Recently we have created new version of mobil.aftenposten.no but soon after serving it to some users we spot this tweet:  https://twitter.com/Al3x4nd3rR/status/452047498111369216 . Basically titles were missing.... Then it started our effort to reproduce this bug. ... It was nightmare! First how to reproduce it: Open  http://krzychukula.github.io/vw_bfcache/  in Mobile Safari.  Click "Go to another page" link Leave phone for 60 seconds (longer is better) Click back button If you were lucky you should see some missing paragraphs and missing green boxes. How it looks: Bug: This one uses vw and vh for font-size. Both are 0 so we can see only 2 from 8 paragraphs. Those two are using only em for font-size. I was curious if it's only for font-size so I have added another test. I have added two boxes with width and height set in vw and vh with green background color. They parents have red background for contrast.  ...
