Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

This is a work-in-progress script that automatically:

1. Downloads the Tentacle MSI
2. Installs it
3. Installs and configures a Tentacle instance
4. Registers the Tentacle with an Octopus server in "polling" mode

Remember to replace the settings at the bottom.

The script works great on EC2 as well. When creating a machine in EC2, paste the script between `` tags into the User Data section (in the EC2 management console, this is on the Configuration tab when creating a machine).

Converting a Word Document to Markdown in One Move

The Problem

A lot of important government documents are created and saved in Microsoft Word (*.docx). But Microsoft Word is a proprietary format, and it's not really useful for presenting documents on the web. So, I wanted to find a way to convert a .docx file into markdown.

Installing Pandoc

On a mac you can use homebrew by running the command brew install pandoc.
