I spent the better part of my day trying to make some things work in bash, and learned some neat tricks, but I'll leave that for another time.
Since I've started using Ruby for some things, like this blog, I decided to try and make use of Rake to automate some of my tasks.
I was trying to camelcase a string when fellow pyjama coder Neil Lalonde, of FitLogg fame notified me that there was a gem that could handle that.
I was browsing some of the usual sites I visit, and saw this: This Site's Domain is Stolen
People are stealing domain names and holding them for ransom :(
I was trying to find a way to minfiy CSS for use with Jekyll, in some sort of automated fashion.
I created a css minify plugin for Jekyll: https://github.com/donaldducky/jekyll-cssminify
I was trying to figure out how I wanted to setup this blog. My requirements were:
Fast - I want the pages to load as quickly as possible.
Minimal setup - no need for an entire stack of tools to write text.
Easy - to publish content.
Enter, Jekyll.
