Pelican

The static site generator Pelican powers the current version of this site. I run a slightly modified fork; full source is available per the GNU Affero GPL.

I've written a plugin and a glue module to allow authors who prefer HTML markup to run Pygments on source code fragments:

• html_jinja2: adds support for custom Jinja2 extensions to render HTML article content in Pelican.
• Plumage: runs the Pygments formatter as a Jinja2 extension (works well with html_jinja2).

Mezzanine

I'm a contributor to the Mezzanine Django CMS project. I highly recommend it; Stephen McDonald and other contributors have produced the best CMS I've used. Just like Django it's powerful under the hood but easy enough to learn in a weekend. Check out the source from GitHub.

Python VM Quickstart

Sets up an Ubuntu-based Vagrant VM for a Django project. Uses Ansible for provisioning basics like Python pip & virtualenv then builds virtual environment from your requirements.txt. Also sets up PostgreSQL client & server. Public GitHub repo here.

Vim quick-start config for Web Development

I've been working on a quick-start setup for vim that you can clone and get running on new machines or VPS/Cloud instances without too many dependencies. Visit the public GitHub repository for vim-webdev for more info.

It's especially useful for Python, HTML, CSS, JS syntaxes with some nice colorschemes that won't melt your brain late at night.
