BLUG: Developer Tools for Desktop Users

2017-11-03

On Thursday, Nov 2, 2017, I presented for the Bellingham Linux Users Group “Developer tools for Desktop Users”.

We talked about using git for versioning documents & configuration, using diff tools like meld to analyze system logs, and did a little Q&A on some deeper topics.

Of course, no presentation is truly complete without a failed demo - I tried to post this last night (showing Jekyll + github pages for quick, easy, free web hosting) and totally failed. I’ve spent a little time this morning digging through, and as far as I can tell, the problem was upstream at github… but the error message is sufficiently vague to prevent ever knowing why.

Your site is having problems building: unable to build page. Please try again later.

Oh well. One day later, here are the slides. Thanks to those who attended!
