This Week’s Program: Jan 16 - Jan 20

Today, I am distracting myself. I’ll probably be distracting myself for the next year or four. I’ve made some distractions for you, too!

The major thing I did this week was write my retrospective for Hive City. This was my first thing I’ve published to Medium, and I published it using the POSSE mechanism on my Jekyll site. I write the post in Markdown, and a Jekyll Generator publishes it to the Medium API.

Please give it a read!

Introducing mechwarper! Mechwarper will be a repository for me to store my Ansible playbooks I’ll be writing out to manage my FreeBSD Digital Ocean server. In the future I’ll probably use this repository for all of my server management playbooks, cookbooks, puppetbooks, dockerbooks, whatever-kind-of-books.

I set up FlySpell in Emacs to do spell checking in ERC and in Markdown documents. I always spell definitely wrong. Now I definitely will not do that anymore.

Resist and fight how you best see fit,
