s3cmd is dead, long live s3-cli —
For those of you that still use Octopress like me, one of the annoying things is deploying to Amazon S3.
I was using s3cmd which is indeed an awesome utility to sync the rendered blog to S3, however it’s slow, it’ll take about 5 minutes to deploy my blog, which is not a huge blog.
While implementing a quick hack that uploads images to Amazon S3, I stumbeled upon a certain Mr Awesome called Andrew Kelley - @andrewrk, who’s node s3 client I used.
Two bots one Slack —
We started evaluating Slack at BigPanda, and it is truly great.
The signup process was super simple, adding integrations is really fast, and all the apps, web and native feels fresh and fast.
Needless to say, one of the first things I did was to hook up on of our Hubot instances that controls our door (see previous post).
With our previous not so hip chat, we did a quick hack, creating an Android Widget that calls our Hubot instance (called Bellboy), opening the door. Yes, a tad bit cumbersome, but this way we used the existing stack on our Raspberry Pi.
