The soruce code for my 2015 trip to Amsterdam and Prague for Write the Docs EU

Liveblog

This gist contains the source code for a simple liveblog. The 'live' version can be seen at http://elijahcaine.me/liveblog.

The page is generated using PageUp along with a cronjob that runs every 10 minutes. The script run by the cronjob pulls updates from the gist and builds an updated html page. It's actually very simple and easy to manage.

As an added bonus, if you have git setup on your phone it can be painlessly on-the-go (provided you have a pretty good grasp on the RST syntax quirks).

Setup

Install the requirements
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
run pageup
$ pageup
Add the ``update_liveblog`` script to your cronjobs
$ crontab -e

Add the following code to your cronjobs

*/10 * * * * sh /path/to/liveblog/repo/update_liveblog.sh

This will run the update script every 10 minutes.
