• Running Browsersync with a Simple WordPress Theme

  April 28, 2016

  I’m working on another simple WordPress theme and Browsersync provides a great way to automatically refresh your browser whenever a change is made. Usually you would include a sync tool in the build tool of your choice (Gulp, Grunt, etc.) but this also works by itself. Open your Terminal, install Browsersync (npm install -g browser-sync), cd into your theme directory, and paste this line in for it to “watch” your theme folder.

• youtube-dl

  August 29, 2015

  youtube-dl (available for UNIX/Windows) is probably my most-often used Python script. Copy/paste a YouTube URL (or any other supported website URL) and youtube-dl downloads the video locally. Incredibly handy especially when you hate buffering and would rather download something to watch it later (including whole playlists!).

  BrowserSync is a tool for injecting changes when working on your local site project and then refreshing your site on save. Perfect for designers/devs who need one tool for one job.

• Environment Part 3

  December 29, 2011

  Lately I’ve been doing the majority of my coding at work. I like to code during my lunch break and this is a pretty nice setup to do it on. Dropbox acts as my version control system and I can have my files pretty much wherever I go.
