dirty hack of a rakefile I use to upload new images to cloudfront for jekyll blog posts

Rakefile

# when I write new blog posts I usually have a temporary folder called new_post on my desktop
# that I place images I want to upload to amazon s3 (which is distributed as CF) and then
# get the appropriate URLs to put the images in my blog post

# I usually save files as some_slug.png and some_slug_1200.png 
# with the latter being a larger version (1200px wide) of the first. 
# a typical upload will include 20 files. 2 versions of some (sm and lg), and some orphans
# so this compares filenames and if it detects a larger version of a file,
# it links the the smaller image to the larger image (i use fancyzoom on my site)
# if not, it just links to the image

desc 'upload imgs to cloudfront'
task :cloudfront do
  puts 'uploading images in ~/Desktop/new_post/ to cf'
  post_dir = "/Users/Stammy/Desktop/new_post/"
  month = Time.new.strftime("%m")
  year = Time.new.strftime("%Y")
  sh "s3cmd put --acl-public --guess-mime-type #{post_dir}* s3://pstam-cloud/uploads/#{year}/#{month}/"
  
  # create URLs for handy copying
  # detect large version of same image and link it to smaller version
  # or just provide img src to orphan if no larger version
  # works b/c Dir.glob returns files alpha by extension
  # was going to refactor to look cleaner.. but it works just fine
  puts "Uploaded. Here are your CF URLs \n\n"
  Dir.chdir(post_dir)
  img_urls = ''
  images = Dir.glob("*.{png,gif,jpg}")
  images.each_with_index do |image, index|
