Basic macaron shell recipe

• This will make approximately 100 shells, or about 4 dozen cookies
• When practicing, I generally half this recipe to only make 1 sheet of cookies
• When making macarons, you will generally flavor the filling but not the shells
• You want to make the macarons the day before the event. You will store them in the refrigerator over night, and then take them out a few hours before to come to room temperature. This is because macarons are best when "ripened", or allowed to sit for at least one night and have the filling seep into the shells a bit. Otherwise, straight out of the oven, they can be too crunchy or hard
• Macarons shells freeze well! Filled macarons can also freeze well depending on the filling. Buttercream fillings freeze great. Put the cookies into an airtight container before freezing
• Everyones baking temperature and baking time vary depending on their oven - you might have to experiment a bit!
• _I always separate egg whites myself by cracking the egg, p

How to export and rehost your Tumblr site

(Update: Version 3.2.0 of Jekyll looks like it's breaking a few things, so I've changed the guide to make you specifically install the version I was using, 3.1.3. I believe this is the issue: jekyll/jekyll#5145.)

You will be using jekyll-import to export your Tumblr site, Jekyll to (re)create it, and Surge to rehost it.

Update: You can also use Tumblr's native export feature in your blogs' individual settings. But rehosting that might be tricky. Read my comments below this post for how that works.

Working with ansible-vault

---

I've been using a lot of Ansible lately and while almost everything has been great, finding a clean way to implement ansible-vault wasn't immediately apparent.

What I decided on was the following: put your secret information into a vars file, reference that vars file from your task, and encrypt the whole vars file using ansible-vault encrypt.

Let's use an example: You're writing an Ansible role and want to encrypt the spoiler for the movie Aliens.

Description

This simple script will take a picture of a whiteboard and use parts of the ImageMagick library with sane defaults to clean it up tremendously.

The script is here:

#!/bin/bash
convert "$1" -morphology Convolve DoG:15,100,0 -negate -normalize -blur 0x1 -channel RBG -level 60%,91%,0.1 "$2"
