Hugo is installed on webserver, blog exists in git repository in /home/djbeadle/blog.

The git repository is synchronized via GitHub, for easy editing a copy exists on my laptop.

To author a new blog post on laptop:

1. Open MacDown
2. Write!
3. Save to /Users/Djbeadle/Sites/blog/content/post/[NEW-POST].md
4. Commit [NEW-POST]
5. ./update_blog.sh

update_blog.sh logs in to the webserver using SSH keys, updates the repository, clears the public directory and then updates it with the new content.

#!/bin/bash
git -C /Users/Djbeadle/Sites/blog push
ssh website "
    git -C /home/djbeadle/blog pull 
    cd /home/djbeadle/blog
    rm -rf /var/www/blog/*
    rm -rf /home/djbeadle/blog/public/
    hugo
    cp -r /home/djbeadle/blog/public/* /var/www/blog/
"

Mostly for my own future reference:

13" Retina MacBook Pro 2014
2.8 GHz Intel Core i5
16 GB RAM, 256 GB

Hardware Tinkering Stuff:

CoolTerm: Simple graphical terminal emulator

SerialTools: Available on the Mac App store. Nifty little terminal emulator.

Etcher: Burn SD cards and USB drives with great ease.

Fritzing: For diagrams

Arduino: Both vanilla and with the ESP8266 Arduino Core

Raspberry Pi:

PiBakery: Easy way to configure SD card images

ApplePiBaker: Easy GUI to backup Raspberry Pi SD cards

Communications

Airmail: Gmail-centric email client. Great with lots of accounts.

Textual: For the occasional IRC chat.

Thunderbird: solely for mail merges. Best way to get people to respond? An email with their name on the very first line.

Keybase: Because I like the idea of privacy. How often do I actually use it? Rarely.

Browser

Firefox: Love the browser, love Mozilla. With these settings performance on Mac is much improved.

Media

Spotify: I will be very dissapointed when my half-price student subscription runs out.

Fog: Unofficial Electron based client for the Overcast podcast app.

Boom 2: System wide equalizer for macOS

File Management

Compare Folders: Does exactly what the name implies.

Disk Inventory X: I always seem to run out of disk space.

FileZilla: For all of your file transferring needs.

ImageOptim: Everything going on a webpage goes through this first.

Text Editors

MacDown: Wrote this with MacDown!

Sublime Text & Visual Studio Code: Haven’t settled on one or the other.

Dev

Macports

Homebrew

Other:

Workspaces: “Remembers your stuff. Launches it for you”

Amphetamine: Keeps your Mac awake.

TinkerTool: Great for modifying harmless macOS settings that aren’t exposed via Control Panel.

• Finder > Show hidden and system files
• Dock > Disable animation when hiding or showing the dock
• Dock > Disable delay when showing hidden dock

OpenEMU: Still haven’t beat FireRed yet.

Better Touch Tool: Gestures. All the gestures.

Deliveries: And it’s corresponding iOS app

VMware Fusion: Expensive, but useful.

Some config settings, nothing crazy but it took me a while to figure out.

Ubuntu 17.10
Artful Aardvark
