Still learning some of the various things that can be done with Octopress and came across this Octopress syntax highlighting package that makes it even nicer to write blog posts (such as this one) using Vim. You can see the package here. If you have already installed the SPF13 Vim then you are already running the required bundles and can simply run cd ~/.vim/bundle git clone https://github.com/tangledhelix/vim-octopress.git octopress It isn’t a groundbreaking improvement but it is worth throwing in there.

I’ve recently been working with an old project that uses a combination of different coding styles. One of the more trivial annoyances with this is that the variables used through the project are a combination of $camelCase and $snake_case which throws of the coding standards tools that I use. To get round this I have put a little script together that will convert $snake_case to $camelCase automatically. Obviously, you will need to check the results of this to make sure that there are not variables that should not be changed, but it has saved me a lot of time doing this manually.
