Standard Jekyll WordPress import script modified for tags and some custom fixups.
require 'rubygems'
require 'sequel'
require 'fileutils'
require 'cgi'
# NOTE: This converter requires Sequel and the MySQL gems.
# The MySQL gem can be difficult to install on OS X. Once you have MySQL
# installed, running the following commands should work:
# $ sudo gem install sequel
# $ sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

Handy new post script for Jekyll blogs or similar
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
unless ARGV[0]
puts 'Usage: newpost "the post title"'
exit(-1)
end
date_prefix = Time.now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
postname = ARGV[0].strip.downcase.gsub(/ /, '-')
post = "/Users/al3x/src/al3x.github.com/_posts/#{date_prefix}-#{postname}.textile"

(a gist based on the old toolmantim article on setting up remote repos)

To collaborate in a distributed development process you’ll need to push code to remotely accessible repositories.

This is somewhat of a follow-up to the previous article setting up a new rails app with git.

For the impatient

Set up the new bare repo on the server:

How to apply a semi-transparent watermark to an image using Python
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw
def main():
# Open the original image
main = Image.open("12voltm.jpg")
# Create a new image for the watermark with an alpha layer (RGBA)
# the same size as the original image
watermark = Image.new("RGBA", main.size)
# Get an ImageDraw object so we can draw on the image
