I’m sure some mailing list services handle Markdown to HTML conversion, but I use Sendy, and it doesn’t. It doesn’t really even have a decent WYSIWYG editor. I wanted to create good-looking emails while just writing in Markdown, like I do everywhere else. You can jump straight to the script with details and installation instructions…

Merry Christmas! I’m all alone for the most part today (I’m ok with it), so working on a few different projects. Here’s my 4am accomplishment, such that it is.

I’ve been waking up around 4 every morning, which I’m grateful for because 4–8am is the only time I really have for coding on my own projects. The lack of sleep is getting to me, but I’ve been productive. I’m currently working on a new Lorem Ipsum generator in Ruby that will function as a…

I did a redesign of this site last night. I hope you like it. It’s heavily inspired by the iA blog. Shamelessly inspired, I guess. But it was a fun exercise to revamp the Jekyll setup, which took a ton of work. I do not love templating in Liquid, but I do like writing filters…

I’ve been putting a little more time into CurlyQ this week, as I’m able. First thing to note is a breaking change: it will always return an array now, even if there’s only one result. I had waffled on this a little, but for predictability in scripting it really always needs to be a consistent…
