Design work done mostly done in browser via Figma: http://www.figma.com/ Debian is strictly via CLI, I don't do any GUI apps via crouton, felt too janky and I didn't really need the overhead.

$5k / month definitely does not get you a nice 4 bedroom in Palo Alto. Maybe in East Palo Alto, but that is a very different place in terms of quality of life, safety, and schools. Edit: I decided to check, and there is one place in Pa

I used to work at Flipboard, and we invested a lot in this issue. It is not easy, and requires constant (constant!) maintenance. Getting to 80% quality isn't hard. 90% is tricky. 95% incredibly costly.

Would LOVE a beets for books!

Beets is fantastic, really automates a ton of really annoying work. The author is pretty responsive with issues, and there's a growing community of contributors. Feel free to crib off of my config file: https://github.com&#x

Well, it looks like Jekyll finally supports fenced code blocks (added in RedCarpet 2) ... my wait is over: https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/commit/098da3d3fa5b2946afc...
