Rabble-rousing Rambling

For the last few months I’ve been annoyed. Two or three times a week, I get a flurry of emails from Facebook and twitter claiming that I reset my password. Sounds like a first-world problem? It is. However, I have 4 emails linked to my Facebook account and one to my twitter account. I get on average 15-20 mails a week, and I dutifully dis-avow each one of them. Then, this happens.

I use git – quite extensively. At work, we have several git repositories, across different organizations. In addition, I also hack for pleasure. Interacting with several git servers means that I need to have different roles and identities for them. The solution is to setup up one ssh key for each domain, and use ~/.ssh/config profiles to control them. Based on the host I’m connecting to, a different ssh private/public key pair is used – make life a lot easier!

BMI, is not the best measure of health, or fitness, but >30 is a definite indicator of lack of care about one’s health. After several years of exactly that, I’m finally within reasonable limits. My BMI is 24.0; It’s official, I’m not obese anymore. In the last 4 years, I have seen my weight go from 230 lbs to 266 lbs, and back to 202 lbs, as of today. It’s a good day!

I have been meaning to get into the exciting world of static site-gen. Why, you ask? Well, I will tell you why?! Actually, I’m too lazy, and it’s late on a Sunday night – instead, Mick Gardner, can inform you on the virtues of static site-generation. After an hour of mucking around with several site-generators, I chose Stasis, which is a good compromise to the blog-oriented Jekyll, and options-insanity that is nanoc.
