Patchfiles Syntax highlighting in GitHub gists
Someone sent me gist today with a patchfile in it. To my delight, I noticed that they are highlighting the changes nicely.This improves the readability of a patch tremendously.Check out this patchfile: https://gist.github.com/pxlpnk/357a32e789b63d5d809a40d886bc9337
It is important that the filename ends in .patch

Jekyll and future dates
This morning I spent around 15 minutes trying to figure out why a post using jekyll would not show up.Some furious google searching resulted in a case of This makes a lot of sense, but why?
It turns out, that jekyll will not generate anything that has the date set to a future time.In my case, the date was set for today, but one hour into the future.
Here is what I learned on why it might not generate posts:
- The post is not placed in the _posts directory.
- The post has an incorrect title. Posts should be named YEAR-MONTH-DAY-title.MARKUP (Note the MARKUP extension, which is usually .md or .markdown)
- The post's date is in the future. You can make the post visible by setting future: true in _config.yml (documentation)
- The post has published: false in its front matter. Set it to true.
Big thank you to StackOverflow and their users for helping me out one more time: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30625044/jekyll-post-not-generated
