Install goobook:

I ran into some problems in arch, had to upgrade/reinstall a few deps:

goobook then needs to authenticate with gmail:

Once you go through the oauth song and dance you should be able to run a query

From there, just need to add a bit of magic to the ~/.muttrc file

Viewing URLs

Install urlview: ncurses program parses urls out of text.

Create a $HOME/urlview file:

Bind \,u in the editor:

Searching Mail

Searching works really well via notmuch

Afer install, setup via

Install

Mostly it was pretty easy

OpenID Setup

Ikiwiki requires an OpenID setup.

You can login to Ikiwiki with OpenID, and I think that's neat!

Since OpenID is somewhat dead, I decided to setup a personal SimpleID.

I put this all on the analytics server.

First I had to create a DNS record for openid.tylercipriani.com so letsencrypt would work.

Then I made a new letsencrypt cert:

Then I grabbed and installed openid

Edited the config.php file, changed root webserver and the pretty url thing

I also made a virtualserver: openid.tylercipriani.com

Identity file: thcipriani.identity

Blog setup

The things that I didn't understand about Ikiwiki:

  1. htmlscrubber removes all your scripts
  2. Some changes to the setup file (like git_wrapper updates) require you to run ikiwiki --changesetup [setupfile]
  3. I am running a staging wiki on my laptop, a wiki on my webserver, and then pushing the compiled files to s3: WAT‽

configure.ac

  • Written in m4sh (m4 + shell)
  • Program initialization: AC_INIT macro—needs name, version, maintainer
  • Initialize automake: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
  • Make sure that C-compiler exists: AC_PROG_CC
  • Build Makefile from Makefile.in, replaces @PACKAGE_VERSION@-type variables: AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
  • Output the script: AC_OUTPUT

Makefile.am

  • The ./configure script (created by configure.ac), expects to find Makefile.in
  • Makefile.in is long and dumb (just like ./configure), so we make a Makefile.am
  • automake generates Makefile.in
  • foreign AUTOMAKEOPTIONS tells that the layout is "non standard"

Put it all together:

  • create m4 environment: aclocal
  • autoconf does: configure.acconfigure
  • automake --add-missing does: Makefile.amMakefile.in
  • autoreconf --install: autoreconf runs autoconf, autoheader, aclocal, automake, libtoolize, and autopoint
