Cameron Moll and the Linked List

2010-03-08T00:00:00-05:00

You see, I’ve always enjoyed posting links as much as I’ve enjoyed posting articles.

Maybe I want to write linked list items on my blog too. Since I'm using Jekyll, I will need to test it out. This is that test.

The Search is Over

2010-02-24T00:00:00-05:00

When I was twelve, we didn't have cable television, so if we wanted to see any music videos, we waited for NBC's Friday Night Videos. On one particular Friday night, the video for Survivor's "The Search is Over" was scheduled. The cool thing about this is my Uncle Alex (UA) is in the video. So on that particular Friday night, me, my brother (Hey brother!), my mom, and my grandma gathered around the T.V. to catch a glimpse of UA on the small screen. When his scene finally arrived, my mom or grandma jumped up and shouted, “There's Al! There's Al!” We captured the moment on VHS and watched the video over and over for the next several weeks. That videotape has since been lost, broken, or erased. Not that it matters, I don't have a VCR I could play it on now anyway. But thanks to the Internet, I was able to locate a decent clip of the video. It was quite a search, but now it's over.

UA is the guy answering the phone in the video and today is his birthday. Happy Birthday UA!

A Picture Please

This website is coming along and now I want to test a post with a picture in it.

Syntax Highlighting Test

2009-11-18T00:00:00-05:00

Apparently, Jekyll can use Pygments to highlight the syntax of code. This seems like it would be cool, so let's see if I can get it to work. The following is the AppleScript I use to move a message to the @action mailbox.

tell application "Mail"
 move selection to mailbox "@action"
end tell

So, did it work? Fire it up and let's have a look see.

Jekyll Testing

2009-10-16T00:00:00-04:00

I want to test how I can use Jekyll to publish my website.

It appears to be working as expected. Proceed sir.

Open in TextMate from Snow Leopard

2009-09-17T00:00:00-04:00

I've been using a handy AppleScript that opens the selected file(s) or folder in TextMate from the Finder. The details of the script can be read at The Pug Automatic blog. The included droplet icon does not align with the other icons in Snow Leopard's Finder (it looked perfect in Leopard). I looked around for a replacement, but did not find any. So, I made my own. Feel free to download the .icns file for your own use.

Style Guide for KR

2008-09-16T00:00:00-04:00

Header 1

This is the style guide for kevrodg.net. This is a normal paragraph and how it looks. Sometimes, it will be necessary to type random text. I am trying to learn the Markdown syntax to make it easier to write blog posts.

Header 2

This is a paragraph below a small header. Can you see what it looks like? Is there enough information here to make a qualitative judgement about this section? Perhaps not. I will type a little bit more to add some more text. There are probably other things I could type here as well, but for now, I think this will suffice.

Code Needed

There will be times when I may add some code to this site. That should appear as follows:

You can type history | grep synergy to recall the synergy command. There will also be blocks of code as show here:

vlan 1
   name "DEFAULT_VLAN"
   no untagged 1-16,21-24,Trk1-Trk2
   no ip address
   exit

Blockquotes

Most certainly, I will incorporate blockquotes in this weblog. Following my previous pattern, the blockquote begins here:

This is part of the blockquote. This is still part of the blockquote. How is Jekyll handling all this? Well, execute the jekyll, fire up Transmit, and synchronize.

This is a regular paragraph after a block quote.
