Unix-Style Blogging | stratha.us

Maker of dracula.js. April 13th, 2013. Whenever releasing a library or a module, I try to ship it with a command line tool that does the same thing. I noticed that many people in the node.js community already do that, but I wish more people would do so too. Instead of writing just another library for some platform, you create a univeral tool that can be combined with many other tools implemented in different languages or runtimes. Thats what I did while writing static site generator. And I called them.

Maker of dracula.js. October 15th, 2012. Nodecopter - or how to demo untested code. Recently, Ive had the pleasure to participate in nodecopter. An event where hackers gathered in a late 19th century, three story high abandoned public pool house to hack flying robots with node.js all day long while drinking beer and having a lot of fun. Here are my impressions. My Thinkpad with the drone flying next to it. So, there I met Bernhard. Whom I know from a previous cooperation with my company, UPcload.

http://www.stratha.us/heroku-awk-pipes-in-colour
Maker of dracula.js. May 30th, 2013. Preserve colours in heroku logs when piping. Just a little trick of the day to leverage your fancy colour monitor when piping heroku logs around. Fire your editor at file. And somewhere at line 20, remove the condition that says. STDOUT.isatty & ENV.has key? And change it to something like this. Make sure you dont use the heroku logs anywhere else, as this modification will break stuff. Heroku logs - app nodecload -t sed 's/2 * / '. Enjoy a happier life.

http://www.stratha.us/sort_by_colour
Maker of dracula.js. August 4th, 2010. Sorting products by colour in web shops. Many shop systems, like Magento, Prestashop or xt-commerce, lack the ability to automatically sort products by colour.

Mumpitz - Stream Punk Blog Engine | stratha.us
http://www.stratha.us/mumpitz
Maker of dracula.js. March 12th, 2013. Mumpitz, a Stream Punk Blog Engine. Heres a little static site generator I hacked together just for the fun of it. I call it. As most static site generators, Mumpitz can read markdown files annotated with yaml and render them with associated template files (currently, mustache). I dont like that many blog generators in nodejs make you install the npm module globally or even clone their git repository and start from there. Heres how you would use it. Err); } console.

Maker of dracula.js. March 25th, 2013. Thanks for reminding me! Thanks to Google recently ditching RSS, I finally installed a decent RSS reader. On my system and stopped depending on yet another web service. The incident also reminded me to implement RSS for my own blog, which basically meant writing another template.

Vimify - Vim Codes Highlightings for Node.js | stratha.us
http://www.stratha.us/vimify
Maker of dracula.js. June 16th, 2012. Vim highlight your blogs. Some weeks ago, I wrote a javascript module using vim to transform source code into highlight HTML and CSS, after having stumbled upon vim2html. I am announcing my latest code snippet. That uses vim to turn your source code into HTML and CSS, for your web project! Vim has excellent highlighting support for a variety of programming languages, and probably one of the most complete in the universes. Could one use it in a blog or something?
