Using Vagrant with MicroK8S to experiment with Kubernetes

This Virtual Machine (using Vagrant) to build an Ubuntu based virtual machine that has the MicroK8S setup of Kubernetes.

It also installs docker, and sets up aliases for kubectl in line with the MicroK8S documentation.

Initially this should be functionally similar to MiniKube.

If you want a multi-node similar environment, here's a similar repository.

Using Vagrant with Multi-Node MicroK8S to experiment with Kubernetes

This script (using Vagrant) is used to build a pair of Ubuntu based virtual machines that have the MicroK8S setup of Kubernetes.

It also installs docker, and sets up aliases for kubectl in line with the MicroK8S documentation.

Please note that this script relies on the fact that Vagrant transfers files in /vagrant to the host file system, which we can then use to setup the second node.

wp-update.sh

A simple tool to update and upgrade Wordpress components

A few years ago, I hosted my blog on Dreamhost. They've customized something inside the blog which means it doesn't automatically update itself. I've long since moved this blog off to my own hosting, but I can't figure out which thing it was they changed, and I've got so much content and stuff in here, I don't really want to mess with it.

Anyway, I like keeping my systems up to date, and I hate logging into a blog and finding updates are pending, so I wrote this script. It uses wp-cli which I have installed to /usr/local/bin/wp as per the install guide.

Scotland Yard
A compelling detective game

For 3 to 6 Players

The Scene

Mr. X, a most-wanted criminal is on the run in Central London and Scotland Yard's finest detectives are in hot persuit. To escape capture, Mr. X must move cleverly and secretly (Mr. X's whereabouts are revealed only as many as 5 times during the game); to corner Mr. X, the detectives must use ingenuity and cooperation.

One player is Mr. X. All other players are the detectives. Whether one is being chased or doing the chasing, all players travel from location to location by bus, taxi or underground. To take a certain form of transportation, you must be on the correct boarding spot and have the correct fare - no ticket, no ride!

Jekyll Git Status

Installing this plugin

Create a _plugins directory in the root of your Jekyll site.
Place the ruby script into that directory. This can be done by either:
1. Downloading the "raw" version of the jekyll-git-status.rb into that directory.
2. Cloning this gist into that directory as a submodule.
3. Creating a new file, with the extension .rb in that path, and pasting in the content below.

Karabiner for OS X Keyboard Remapping

This file should be imported into Karabiner, probably via the "Karabiner Complex Rules Generator".

This remaps the following keys:
