Marcel Kapfer

I do creative things.

Hi, I’m Marcel Kapfer (at some places also known as “mmk2410”). At the moment, I invest most of my free time in creative work. That consists mainly of photography, but I also compose music, train myself in graphic design, and write text as well as code.

While this website is (mostly) focused on tech-related stuff (like software development, operating systems and similar stuff) and writing in general, I also maintain a website dedicated to photography as well one for music composition. The blog here, however, may contains posts about more or less everything.

Since about 2011/2012 I am mainly using Linux (sometimes exclusively, although currently not) and in 2014 I started writing software. In late 2016 I began using Emacs and Org-Mode and now more or less live inside it. After getting my bachelor’s degree in computer science from the University of Ulm in 2021 I started working at a small software agency in Ulm, Germany.

Besides these pages, you can also find me at a few other places across the web.

First of all, I think I got over my fear of not publishing articles of high enough quality.

CMS Search Update: The Shortlist Problem

2023-11-29

Note: This was initially published on Scribbles, my previous “micro blog”. I discontinued it and moved the contents into this blog on 2023-12-05. I just published the shortlist of my search for a new CMS for my photography website. There are five systems (in no particular order) that are on it: Kirby, WordPress, TYPO3, Contao, and Statmic (if you’re curious about how I got there, you can read my other articles on that topic).

CMS Search Update: The Shortlist

2023-11-29

Note: This was initially published on Scribbles, my previous “micro blog”. I discontinued it and moved the contents into this blog on 2023-12-05. I just published the requirements for the CMS that should manage my photography website in the future. As announced over there that I already analysed the CMS on the longlist but I wanted to split all the information into two posts to avoid making one too long. Well….
