Malbers Animations makes some amazing character assets in a variety of styles. Aside from the art, what makes their assets so amazing is the level of detail put into the animations (and controllers) to go with them. Malbers could double their prices and it’d still be a good deal for these assets.

Structure

I’ve standardized on a file naming scheme of YYYY-MM-DD-post-title.md for my Hugo structure. And to help tidy things up a bit, I’ve started using Page Bundles to contain associated images, like this:

I’ve switched from Ghost to Hugo and so far I like it.

Static sites are a great fit for hosting on Zeit Now which also happens to be my favorite “host” at the moment.

Being a lazy dev at heart, I’m digging the lack of servers to maintain.

Fish Shell main page: http://fishshell.com/

Fisherman - Fish package manager that I’m using. Currently installed:

• edc/bass Bass makes it easy to use utilities written for Bash in fish shell. I’m using it to wrap nvm in a function.

Huginn only responds positively (200’s) to POST requests. Unfortunately, when adding a new webhook to Trello, it tries a HEAD request and only adds upon receipt of a 200.

To get Trello to work, I think I’m going to write a quick node script to translate and then I’ll run that on now. I’ll have to come up with some way to keep that awake though (to prevent the 12hr sleep timer from kicking in).
