I use tmux as my screen multiplexer, and in the past, I used control-A d to disconnect and tmux a -d to reattach to the session. This gets cumbersome if I haven’t created a tmux session yet, since tmux a -d will give me an error that no session exists. Aliases to the rescue To help start sessions, and now name them, I use the following alias: alias tma="tmux new -ADs" To create a session named main or re-attach to a disconnected session, I can now type tma main.

I’m very comfortable with bash, and I use it a lot with tmux. However, I didn’t like how I would lose command line history across these multiple terminals.

I ran in to a little issue with my publish.sh script that I use to automatically publish my site with Hugo. I wipe out the public folder and then rebuild the site with Hugo.

A couple of weeks ago I posted how I schedule posts with Hugo. At the time, I had two scripts. The first one automatically selected the next day to schedule, while the other script let you pick the day. I’ve now combined the two. Here you go, the finished autosched: #!/bin/bash # Set these to where you want the posts to go and where you # want to archive the posts postsdir="${HOME}/Web/gozgeek.

I’ve been working on a new little geeking site over at GozGeek.com as a way to share little geeky things I find on the internet and also write about my own geekspirations. Previously I would have created the site in Wordpress, but I wanted to learn Hugo so that’s what I used. One feature I use a lot in Wordpress is the scheduling of publishing posts, so I had to figure out how to do this in Hugo.
