This is a blog about coding things I've encountered. Its scope includes small code modules I made & like to philosophical musings and rants about development.

This blog is built by Jekyll and hosted as a static site in a Google Cloud bucket (www.bigstickcoding.com), pointed to by Google Domains & DNS (www.bigstickcoding.com).

Install jeckyll:
gem install bundler jekyll

Note: on OS default installs of Ruby in early 2019, there is an SSL issue that prevents gem from working. Installing a new ruby may be all you need to fix this:

• Follow the instructions at rvm.io to install rvm
• Install the latest ruby rvm install ruby-head
• Confirm rvm list shows that you are using the latest ruby, or ruby --version does the same.

bundle exec jekyll serve

JEKYLL_ENV=production jekyll build

jekyll build

gsutil -m rsync -edru _site/ gs://www.abigstick.com

curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash
exec -l $SHELL
gcloud init

If already installed, make sure bin folder (e.g. /Users/andrew/Code/google-cloud-sdk/bin is in path)
