A deployment script I use to push my Jekyll blog onto Amazon S3. It compiles sass files, generates the site, gzips HTML, CSS & JavaScript and then uploads the site to Amazon S3 using s3cmd.
#! /usr/local/bin/python3
""" Requirements: s3cmd, jekyll, gzip & sass.
Mk 2 of the script
To use this script, you'll need to edit your site's _config.yml file and add the following:
s3bucket: s3://bucket-name
Remember: Change the path_to_sass_file & sass_compile_path variables if you want to compile sass files. If you don't want to compile sass files, comment out the call to the compile_sass() function.

Created April 19, 2014 21:50
A program that performs a very basic frequency analysis on a string encrypted with a Caesar cipher.
// vici performs a very basic frequency analysis on a string of text encrypted with a Caesar cipher.
// It will output all possible keys and plaintexts for the ciphertext, with the most likely key/plaintext first and the least likely last
// Usage: vici [ciphertext]
// **NOTE** You'll need to run `go get github.com/alexjohnj/caesar` to build this program
// **NOTE 2** Since this outputs 26 lines of text to the console, you might want to redirect the output to a file.
