For Igor I wanted to make sure that there is always a compiled, and up to date, binary ready for download. The obvious way for me to do this was using Wercker, but this turned out to be a bit more work than I expected, so I'm documenting it here.
Over the past weeks I've been working on a new tool. Now, Igor has reached a state where I'm happy with showing it off and so it's time to introduce it to the world.
Today someone asked me if it's possible to host a Hugo site on AWS that is only accessible from their company IP. Of course it is, let me explain how.
Apple was commanded by a court to provide a way for breaking into an iPhone. This doesn't make me happy, so this post serves as a way to clear my mind and calm down about it.
After a long time of hinting at it, yesterday a new version of Day One was released bearing the wonderful name Day One 2. There are a couple of major changes to the way this works compared to the old version that influence how I use it.
GitHub Pages works differently based on how you set it up. As several people have asked me for help when they ran into issues with deploying the site they generated using my Hugo Wercker step, this article will serve as a place to point them to.
Today AWS introduced the ability to request free SSL certificates for use with their services and I immediately jumped on that to try it out for this site. Let's have a look at how that went.
I wanted something that could ensure my usage of the Reporter app would be logged in my journaling app of choice, so I built it.
Different parts of your project might require different environments. Additionally, when building web projects for clients you don't always have control over the server your project will run on.

fcd is a zsh plugin I built for easily switching between different projects on the command line.
Sometimes the default size for your root volume in an EC2 instance isn't good enough. As there is no clear documentation on the best way to do this for CloudFormation managed instances, I'm describing my methods for increasing the size here.
The first weekly update for my month of Golang. I'll start this out with various resources I used to get up to speed with the language, before I'll move on to idea behind the structure for the Bugsnag SDK and how this is progressing.
In an attempt to stop my mind from constantly jumping to the next interesting thing I encounter, I decided to start doing monthly research projects. I'm starting this with something that has been on my list for quite a while now, learning the language Go (or Golang as it's often called).
This article describes setting up a single security group with cloudformation that you can use to ensure you can easily gain access to your servers wherever you are. And as a bonus it describes how you can update the parameters of your stack from the command line without needing access to its template.
I mentioned that I was planning on building a step for making it easier to deploy Hugo sites using Wercker, and I've done so.
