Today I finally got around to modifying my Ghost blog to make use of my new Node Module Truncatise.

This didn't go as smoothly as I hoped.

For the past week or so (since setting up my new blog) I've been working on a new JavaScript module that truncates HTML.

Recently I've had to re-visit some old code containing a couple GateKeepers I wrote nearly two years ago. Looking at them now I realise how terribly unscalable they are. The gatekeepers are in place to protect some web service's and specify (in the gatekeeper code) which methods are open to all and which need restriction.

This is how not to write a gatekeeper.
