Colophon

Theme

I designed the theme for this blog. I was initially inspired by Rabble’s Anarchogeek.com but have since traded the fixed sidebar for a scrollable one.

The yellow paper logo was from a free clipart download that I can’t seem to find anywhere now.

Deployment

The theme and custom tasks are updated with a single Capistrano recipe that looks roughly like this:

set :application, "nubyonrails.com" 
role :web, application

desc "Svn update the theme and delete cached CSS files." 
task :theme_update, :roles => :web do
  run "svn update #{application}/themes/nuby" 
  run "rm #{application}/public/stylesheets/theme/*.css" 
end

Software

I use the ubiquitous TextMate text editor on Apple iMac and iBook computers, and occasionally tested on Windows with Parallels virtualization software.
