This shell script creates a template file for a new jekyll post. Typing in the date, time and title in the exact format for the filename and inside the file is a tiny bit too tedious when it can easily be automated.
#!/bin/sh
# get title from stdin
/bin/echo -n "Title : "
read TITLE
SAFETITLE=$(/bin/echo -n $TITLE | tr -sc [:alpha:] - | tr [:upper:] [:lower:])
FILENAME=$(date -j +%Y-%m-%d)-${SAFETITLE}.md

AuthSub request works fine with Google Calendar, but not Google Health

# h9 scope for development

#scope = 'https://www.google.com/h9/feeds/'
url_format = 'https://www.google.com/accounts/AuthSubRequest?next=%s&scope=%s&secure=%d&session=%d'
auth_sub_url = url_format % (next, scope, 0, 1)
#auth_sub_url = service.GenerateAuthSubURL(next, scope, secure = secure, session = session)
# replace this last line with whatever method you use to write out to the page
