# ePub files are just XHTML with a ton of (often useless) stuff layered on top
# This script extracts the XHTML content and sticks it together
# It tries to preserve common metadata

Setting up a SSL Cert from Comodo

I use Namecheap.com as a registrar, and they resale SSL Certs from a number of other companies, including Comodo.

These are the steps I went through to set up an SSL cert.

Purchase the cert

A very minimal Emacs configuration to get started with Emacs & Evil-mode

A Starting Point for using Emacs & Evil-mode

(I wrote a bit about why Emacs and Vim on my blog and thought it might be nice to give some starting point for people that want to try it.)

If you just want to play around with Emacs & Evil mode do the following:

  1. mkdir ~/.emacs.d/
  2. copy init.el into ~/.emacs.d/
  3. Download Emacs from http://emacsformacosx.com

Promise protips - stuff I wish I had known when I started with Promises
// Promise.all is good for executing many promises at once
Promise.all([
promise1,

// Promise.resolve is good for wrapping synchronous code
Promise.resolve().then(function () {
if (somethingIsNotRight()) {
throw new Error("I will be rejected asynchronously!");

JSX, a year in

Hi Nicholas,

I saw you tweet about JSX yesterday. It seemed like the discussion devolved pretty quickly but I wanted to share our experience over the last year. I understand your concerns. I've made similar remarks about JSX. When we started using it Planning Center, I led the charge to write React without it. I don't imagine I'd have much to say that you haven't considered but, if it's helpful, here's a pattern that changed my opinion:

The idea that "React is the V in MVC" is disingenuous. It's a good pitch but, for many of us, it feels like in invitation to repeat our history of coupled views. In practice, React is the V and the C. Dan Abramov describes the division as Smart and Dumb Components. At our office, we call them stateless and container components (view-controllers if we're Flux). The idea is pretty simple: components can't
