Setup GitHub Pages "gh-pages" branch as a subfolder within the "master" project on your local checkout.
If you plan on switching between different branches (e.g. git checkout master-experiment
then revert back with git checkout master) you will loose your child folder from this tutorial (because it's in your
.gitignore and is not part of your master branch).

By default, Rails applications build URLs based on the primary key -- the id column from the database. Imagine we have a Person model and associated controller. We have a person record for Bob Martin that has id number 6. The URL for his show page would be:
/people/6
But, for aesthetic or SEO purposes, we want Bob's name in the URL. The last segment, the 6 here, is called the "slug". Let's look at a few ways to implement better slugs.
This is a plugin meant for Jekyll.
Example use:
Easily embed a YouTube video. Just drop this file in your _plugins directory.
{% youtube oHg5SJYRHA0 %}
| .highlight { | |
| background-color: #efefef; | |
| padding: 7px 7px 7px 10px; | |
| border: 1px solid #ddd; | |
| -moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.1); | |
| -webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.1); | |
| box-shadow: 3px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.1); | |
| margin: 20px 0 20px 0; | |
| overflow: hidden; |
This will demonstrate how to upload build files from Travis CI to S3.
NOTE: Keys have been changed to protect the innocent.
Create an S3 ACL policy, see s3_policy.json for an example.
So yesterday brought the sad news that Google Reader is being killed off. C’est la vie it seems, given it was a Google product. In my search for an alternative I rediscovered Fever and decided to see if I could run it up for free on Heroku. Onwards...
Personally I think the news about Reeder is quite sad, as I would quite happily have paid for it as a service. In fact I like RSS so much that I actually shelled out the $30 for Fever when it first came out years ago (I was also pretty massive Shaun Inman fanboy if I’m being honest).
I ended up setting Fever aside because screw having to manage self-hosting for PHP and MySQL, right?
If you’re new to Fever I recommend going and checking it out, but also reading the post in response to the Google Reader announcement by Fevers author, Shaun, for a good list of what Fever is and isn’t.
Enough jibba-jabba!
Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
