Parsed-Out

I'VE MOVED MY BLOG TO CALEPIN:

http://ryan.calepin.co

I may choose to move the parsedout.com domain there in the future as well.

Setting Up And Building

(After getting this up and running I do indeed feel parsed-out.)

I'm not an expert in any of these new-fangled technologies. But let's give this a go.

To get this site up and going:

1. Make sure blahtex is on your PATH.

   which blahtex && echo "yep"
   

   Compiling blahtex is nontrivial! (At least it was when last I tried it.) I don't remember how I did it actually. I just have a copy of blahtex that I compiled a long time ago and I've kept on Dropbox ever since, and I really hope it continues to work through OS X upgrades and across new machines.

2. Install MacTeX (the big package). http://tug.org/mactex/ This beast takes up > 4 gigs of HD space.

3. Install rbenv & rubies & bundler:

   brew install rbenv
   brew install ruby-build
   # restart shell!
   rbenv install $(cat .ruby-version)
   # restart shell!
   gem install bundler
   

4. Bundle and install

   bundle install
   

5. Install npm and build:

   brew install npm
   # restart shell!
   npm install -g bower
   npm install -g grunt-cli
   bower install
   grunt
   

Troubleshooting

• For issues in running latex, try rm -r images/latex. The blahtex output is "cached" even if it's incorrect.

• Restarting the shell is the new "restarting windows."

Using Pow

Something like this to install and use pow:

curl get.pow.cx | sh
mkdir -p ~/.pow/parsedout
ln -s $PWD/_site ~/.pow/parsedout/public

Now access the site locally: http://parsedout.dev.

This is a modern age in which we live, n'est-ce pas?

TODO

• Fix LaTeX output: the images are generated it seems but in the wrong place?
• Fix grunt script/css processing
• Reorganize posts and then preprocess before jekyll build. I don't like that all posts are glommed together into one directory and then the date is embedded in the filename. That's icky.
