Every Monday morning at 8:00 breakfast is served for the Mynewsdesk employees at our headquarter in Stockholm. It became some sort of tradition for me to take a photograph of my breakfast every morning and here’s the result from 2012’s breakfasts.

Jekyll code highlighting on Heroku

Jonas Forsberg – himynameisjonas — Mon, 31 Dec 2012 00:00:00 +0000

The built in code highlighter in Jekyll doesn’t work on Heroku due to some issues with Python. I came up with a work around by using the Pygmentize gem instead.

Gemfile

Add the Pygmentize gem to your gemfile:

gem 'pygmentize'

And run bundle install

_plugins/highlight.rb

Create a new file in the _plugins directory with the name highlight.rb. Paste the following code to make the built in code highlighter use the new Pygmentize gem:

require 'pygmentize'
class Jekyll::HighlightBlock < Liquid::Block
  def render_pygments(context, code)
    @options[:encoding] = 'utf-8'
    output = add_code_tags(
      Pygmentize.process(code, @lang),
      @lang
    )

    output = context["pygments_prefix"] + output if context["pygments_prefix"]
    output = output + context["pygments_suffix"] if context["pygments_suffix"]
    output
  end
end

Use

Just use the standard highlight blocks as usual:

{% highlight ruby %}
gem 'pygmentize'
{% endhighlight %}

Create Jekyll posts from the command line

Jonas Forsberg – himynameisjonas — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 00:00:00 +0000

I got tired on creating new files manually for each new post a write so I put together this little command line task with Thor.

It creates a new file in the _posts directory with today’s date, parses the parameters to command as the post’s title and adds that as a slug to the new file. It then writes a default yaml template to the file (as specified in the script).

Running thor jekyll:new New and shiny post will for example create the file _posts/2012-12-28-new-and-shiny-post.md, populate it with an yaml template and finally open the file in my favorite editor.

How to

Add the following to your Gemfile:

gem 'thor'
gem 'stringex'

Run bundle install and create a jekyll.thor file with the following contents:

require "stringex"
class Jekyll < Thor
  desc "new", "create a new post"
  method_option :editor, :default => "subl"
  def new(*title)
    title = title.join(" ")
    date = Time.now.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
    filename = "_posts/#{date}-#{title.to_url}.md"

    if File.exist?(filename)
      abort("#{filename} already exists!")
    end

    puts "Creating new post: #{filename}"
    open(filename, 'w') do |post|
      post.puts "---"
      post.puts "layout: post"
      post.puts "title: \"#{title.gsub(/&/,'&amp;')}\""
      post.puts "tags:"
      post.puts " -"
      post.puts "---"
    end

    system(options[:editor], filename)
  end
end

Use the new command:

$ thor jekyll:new The title of the new post

You can even specify which editor to open the new file with:

$ thor jekyll:new The title of the new post --editor=vim

The default editor is Sublime Text 2, just change on line 4 in jekyll.thor if an other editor is preferred.

Thought I might be able to shoot a bit more again and get inspiration for some nice pictures when I was in Dublin for a couple of weekends ago. But i was a little bit disappointed when i transferred the photographs to my computer. Anyway, here is a photo of Eva on a shopping street in the middle of Dublin.

The last days of my summer vacation was spent at my fathers house, out in the countryside. Among other things we took a walk in the forrest to pick some chanterelles. Did not find that much mushrooms but it did not matter because I’m not so fond of it.

A web interface to Jekyll

Jonas Forsberg – himynameisjonas — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Use Prose, a content editor for GitHub, optimized for managing websites, to get a web based interface for managing your Jekyll site (or other text-based content in your Github repositories). You can now write a new blog post or fix that typo without even leaving the browser. You can even specify metadata defaults for your posts.

This work really out of the box if you host your site on Github via Github pages but if you, like me, are using Heroku you need to set up some more automation. See my previous post on how to automatically deploy to Heroku when pushing to Github.

Deploy to Heroku from Github

Jonas Forsberg – himynameisjonas — Sun, 29 Jul 2012 22:00:00 +0000

Automatically deployment of your app to Heroku when it has been pushed to Github with github-heroku-pusher by ajlai on Github.

I found this little Sinatra app a couple of days ago and have now set up it to automatically deploy this Jekyll site to Heroku when I push the repository to my Github account. It receives a post from Github via the post-receive service hook, fetches the updates and push them to Heroku.

I have made some changes to the app, so use my fork until the pull requests has been merged. My fork adds support for private repositories and makes it run smoothly on just one free Heroku Dyno.

Just follow the instructions in the README and you’re done in less than 5 minutes.

Jekyll + Heroku + Unicorn = Blazing fast blogging

Jonas Forsberg – himynameisjonas — Sun, 22 Jul 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Deploy your Jekyll site on Heroku with 6 workers ready to take on your massive traffic without first having to generate the Jekyll site locally and there’s no need for a third-party buildpack. And the best of all, it runs on a single and free Heroku Dyno.

Rack-Jekyll

I have previously used jekyll --serverin my Procfile on Heroku which in turn generated the jekyll site and booted up a webrick server. But I wanted to run my site with Unicorn and it’s support for multiple workers on a single Dyno. And to do so my Jekyll site must be a Rack app.

Rack-Jekyll to the rescue! It was exactly what I was looking for, it turned a Jekyll site into a Rack app. I had some issues with it on Heroku and made a pull request with the fixes. At this moment it has been merge with the master but there is not a new version released of the gem.

Jekyll + Unicorn + Heroku

Jekyll-Heroku-Unicorn is a sample app of a simple Jykyll site with 6 Unicorn workers ready to be deployed to a free Heroku Dyno:

git clone git@github.com:himynameisjonas/jekyll-heroku-unicorn.git
cd jekyll-heroku-unicorn and run bundle install
heroku create followed of git push heroku master
heroku open and you’re done!

Midsummer

Jonas Forsberg – himynameisjonas — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Anders and Angelina came up from Malmö to celebrate midsummer with me and Eva here in Stockholm. On Midsummer’s Eve we went to Björkviks brygga, Värmdö and spent a day on the rocks by the sea. We ate great food and drank ice cold beers, and had a wonderful day together.

Björkvis brygga is a new favorite place in the Stockholm area, a real highlight that I really can recommend a visit.

A Flickr plugin to Jekyll

Jonas Forsberg – himynameisjonas — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0000

This blog is driven by Jekyll and i have written a simple plugin to Jekyll that makes it easy to embed photographs from Flickr directly into your posts.

If you have a Gemfile, start by adding the fleakr gem to your Gemfile and run bundle install. If you don’t have a Gemfile, install the gem with gem install fleakr.

source :rubygems

gem 'RedCloth'
gem 'jekyll'
gem 'fleakr'

Then add the flickr plugin to your _plugins folder:

require 'liquid'
require 'fleakr'

Fleakr.api_key       = "XXX"
Fleakr.shared_secret = "YYY"
Fleakr.auth_token    = "ZZZ"

CACHED_IMAGES = {}

module Flickr
  def flickr_image(url)
    "<img alt='#{image_object(url).title}' src='#{image_object(url).large.url}'>"
  end

  def flickr_medium_image(url)
    "<img alt='#{image_object(url).title}' src='#{image_object(url).medium.url}'>"
  end

  private

  def image_object(url)
    CACHED_IMAGES[url] ||= Fleakr.resource_from_url(url)
  end
end

Liquid::Template.register_filter(Flickr)

Read the readme for the fleakr gem on how to obtain your flickr api tokens. Then add them to the top of the flickr.rb file.

Loop over your photos in your post layout, for example like this:

<article>
  <h1>{{ post.title }}</h1>

  {% for flickr_url in post.flickr %}
    <a href="{{ flickr_url }}">{{ flickr_url | flickr_image }}</a>
  {% endfor %}

  {{ post.content }}

  <footer>
    {{ post.date || date:"%Y-%m-%d" }}</br>
  </footer>
</article>

Finally, the last step is to add one or more photos to your post:

---
layout: post
title: A blog post with photos from flickr
flickr:
- http://www.flickr.com/photos/himynameisjonas/6167152072
- http://www.flickr.com/photos/himynameisjonas/6167152448
- http://www.flickr.com/photos/himynameisjonas/6167153574

It has been something between -10° and -20° Celcius cold this last week so I think I have to post at least one more photograph from last summer. And If I had to choose one photograph from last summer, I think I would have choosen this one. Taken in Vällingby, Stockholm while Eva and I where on a bike trip.

Malware, Reddit and Google Analytics

Jonas Forsberg – himynameisjonas — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000

This is what happens with your traffic when one of your sites gets infected by malware and therefor being “blocked” by google. From a daily count of 200-300 visitors down to 0-2 visitors per day. But it’s a funny graph to look at.

And this is the awesome thing that happens when one of the posts of the same site as above is posted and gets popular on reddit. From a stable 150-200 visitors per to a huge peak at 20 000. Such a big difference that the rest of the days looks all flat.

I went to 24 Hour Business Camp with Ingemar and Jonny (both colleagues from Mynewsdesk) on October the 30th last year. It took place at the awesome japanese spa Yasuragi. We spent the 24h coding on our project SilarApp, a clean and ambient real time data visualization dashboard. I think we did it quite well, we even won the jury’s award. Now we’re working hard on our spare time to release the first public version of SilarApp (it’s currently in closed beta) and we’re really proud of what we have done so far.
