I’ve been trying to sort-out the details of what is required to be able to maintain a GitHub pages site via Octopress / org-octopress from multiple computers. The slight complicating factor is that the location of the git repository for the site is different on the two computers that I am using.

I made a post yesterday that covered the steps required to install Ubuntu on an ASUS C200 Chromebook. One thing I noticed was that, while you are running Ubuntu, it ties up your terminal window and makes it unavailable for doing other tasks.

This post describes how to install and configure Steel Bank Common Lisp (SBCL) with SLIME (Superior Lisp Interaction Mode) that is installed via Quicklisp on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr).

Introduction

I have been interested in seeing if would be possible to set-up a Chromebook so that some serious development work with it. It’s a given that you won’t be running any virtual machines on a Chromebook. But at this point I think you can do pretty much any thing else you might need to do.

I recently signed up for a Virtual Private Server (VPS) with vpsdime. The idea is to set-up a complete development environment for all of my work and personal projects that I can access from a low-end device like a Chromebook or an iPad (with a suitable SSH app installed).

I have been using Ryder Carroll’s BulletJournal techniques for organizing my analog journal for about 6 months now. There are several things I really like about this system.

• It is easy to maintain
• It lets you carry around just one paper journal that you can use for everything; e.g., to-do lists, project notes, work and activity tracking, study notes, etc.
• It is very easy to customize to fit your needs.

Regarding that last point, I would like to share my current setup.

This is a great recipe from page 105 of ¡Delicioso! Cooking South Texas Style, compiled by the Junior League of Corpus Christi, Inc., ISBN 0-9609144-0-4.

I was getting this strange error when I tried to generate my site via the rake generate command:

Testing Org-Octopress

This is a test post using org-octopress…
