Convert Markdown text into RTF via service

I cam across Brett Terpstra's New in Markdown Service Tools: in-place Markdown to RTF - BrettTerpstra.com this morning. He has a collection of nice Markdown-related services. I typically take notes in Markdown format and had a number of them stored in Yojimbo.

Fix 'Setting Locale Failed` warnings in Ubuntu

I have been getting warnings like below when I upgrade packages with aptitude. Despite my previous attempts to fix this before, warnings did not go away. After digging around a bit more, disabling SendEnv LANG LC_* from /etc/ssh/ssh_config stopped the warnings from appearing.

Dump iTunes Music to Astell & Kern AK70 with album art

I bought an Astell & Kern AK70 media player this weekend. The AK70 runs an Android OS (though I'm not sure about which version) but its functionality is limited to music playback. I will not be replacing my iPhone as a music player, but I just wanted to try a different device as well.

I hit a small problem when setting up my Mac with macOS Sierra.

Install Jekyll on OS X El Capitan

I recently perform a fresh installation of OS X El Capitan. I configure my Macs with Boxen (my own Boxen configuration is here). Out of the box, I did not have a working Ruby environment for Jekyll, so I needed to set one up quickly.

Convert Markdown to MediaWiki with Pandoc

Our project team uses MediaWiki to capture and share knowledge among team members. While I like MediaWiki in general, I never liked its syntax enough to learn it well. Instead, I often find myself writing an entire article in Markdown syntax without realizing the article is nearly complete.

Make Windows Update work with a proxy server

My development workstation at office access Internet through a proxy server so Windows Update does not work without additional configuration changes. I'm writing this post so I can configure my Windows workstation whenver I need it again.

Send a push notification through proxy

We use Jenkins to build perform nightly build of our software at work. A few months ago, we had some reliability problems with Jenkins and jobs did not always run every night.

AppleScript: Write text data as UTF-8 string to a file
