Font Awesome as a SASS mixin library

Here is a fun little project I did a while ago. What if you wanted to use only a small subset of Font Awesome instead of the whole thing? And tidy up your HTML classes while you are at it?

List of pygments lexer aliases

I didn’t have a list of pygments lexers and their aliases to use with Jekyll, so I made one. This is current for pygments 1.6 and should hopefully be parsable as YAML.

RVM: Ubuntu binary rubies for Linux Mint

RVM, the Ruby Version Manager is a magnificent tool that lets you manage different Ruby versions and gemsets. Kinda like python’s virtualenv, but on steroids. Pair it with bundler and there is not much you can’t do if you want to work with multiple Ruby environments.

Welcome to Jekyll!

You’ll find this post in your _posts directory. Go ahead and edit it and re-build the site to see your changes. You can rebuild the site in many different ways, but the most common way is to run jekyll serve --watch, which launches a web server and auto-regenerates your site when a file is updated.

[Seeing the FOSS] Using processing's rxtx with Arduino on Linux

Ok, let me state up front: Trying to get Processing to read your Arduino on linux (ones that get the /dev/ttyACM0 port) is broken! For all the good work all the devs are doing, this has been the case for far too long.

Yesterday NASA published a collection of sounds from historic spaceflights and current missions. I noticed there was no ‘download ALL’ button there, and because most links at a time were hidden by means of javascript my normal tools didn’t really work. It was time for some scripting!

This is the Arduino project I worked on while attending last weekend’s all-night hackfest at our local hackspace, P-space. It is a simple Arduino project for playing back any text sent to the Arduino via the serial interface in Morse code.
