bread machine + heat gun coffee roasting

bread machine + heat gun coffee roasting

aka a "corretto" roaster

Photos are available here

I have been meaning to put together a corretto for a couple of years now but never got around to it until this month. Here are the benefits:

  • cheap. equipment is cheap (see below) and super high quality unroasted coffee is ~6 bucks a pound. professionally roasted coffee is ~16 a pound.
  • quick (about 15 minutes to roast a batch that will last a few days of regular consumption)
  • high quality-to-dollar ratio. about 80-90% as good as professionally roasted coffee which is still 10-20x better than pre-roasted coffee. also higher relative quality than other cheap home roasting methods (like the air popper or skillet roasting)

Troubleshooting Cron on EC2, which required both a permissions and a time zone fix.

2015-01-14 - Troubleshooting Cron on EC2

Today I had trouble getting a cron job to work.

The cron command was:

# run the lunchbot every weekday at 12:30 pm
30 12 * * 1-5 /home/ubuntu/bothouse/lunchbot/cron.sh > /home/ubuntu/bothouse/lunchbot/cron.log

The first problem, I discovered, was that cron.sh didn't have permissions set to be executable by the user (ubuntu).

Texas Tribune Pull Request Template

Here's our template for what should go in a pull request. This seems overly-verbose, but will help us:

  • manage technical debt
  • link pull requests to sprint tasks
  • give future developers a lot more context
  • give reviewers the context they need to understand the problem you're trying to solve and the acceptance criteria you're trying to meet.

It's nice, but not required to fill everything out when you first open your pull request. This template shouldn't be a barrier to contributing code - and you can open a PR with the words WIP in front, to let us know it's not quite there yet, then go back and update information at any time.

This document has moved!

It's now here, in The Programmer's Compendium. The content is the same as before, but being part of the compendium means that it's actively maintained.
