Oh hi, you seem to have found my site. I wrote it with nanoc after stealing ozmm’s CSS. I started working on it a few days ago, and here it is.

I plan on using it to post things from code snippets, entire projects that I’m working on, pictures, cool websites I find, cool ruby stuff I find, cool stuff, like nanoc, that I find… It could be anything. I’ve already added a few posts below (mainly because of when I was testing this) from my tumblr.

The code for this site is on github, and I’ll be pushing to github whenever I push to my site.

I didn’t use any fancy blogging helpers (i.e. Nanoc3::Helpers::Blogging), but instead I wrote my own helper methods:

# nanoc's Blogging helper is too complicated for me, we're going to
# use this instead.

require 'time'

def posts
  @items.select do |item|
    item.identifier.include? 'posts'
  end.sort_by do |item|
    Time.parse(item[:created_at].to_s)
  end.reverse
end

def format_time(str)
  Time.parse(str.to_s).strftime("%a %b %d %Y")
end

There’s also a code method so I can do something like this:

<% code :ruby do %%>
puts "when I grow up I want to be printed"
<% end %%>

and get this:

puts "when I grow up I want to be printed"

Cool, huh?

I might change the style at some point. But for right now, it’s a starting point, so I’m going to leave it.
