A file renaming tool for humans

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I deal with a lot of PDFs. Medical invoices, insurance correspondence, bank statements, tax documents—they all arrive with names like e134-a1cf-4b4b-af65-ccf83c5270cb.pdf or Document(3).pdf or, my personal favourite, scan.pdf. Every. Single. Time.

So I started renaming files to something like 2025-09-30-125.00-rahona-clinic.pdf. Now I know what it is without opening the thing - an invoice, with the date and amount right there in the name. I'm halfway to the spreadsheet already. And thanks to ISO date format, they sort nicely too.

Bulk delete bookmarks in Microsoft Word

These don't really do much of anything in Word, but if you share it further and someone opens it with Google Workspace vis Gmail or Google Drive, you find the doc has become a big ugly morass where you can barely read the doc. Thanks Google.

In Word's Developer tab, click on Visual Basic to open the VBA editor. In the editor, go to Insert > Module to create a new module. Then add the following code:

Auto-Deploy Hugo from Github

Sun, 16 Mar 2025 10:17:46 +0000

GitHub is pretty good with out-of-box options for auto-deploying Hugo or Jekyll sites to GitHub Pages. But say you have your own VPS (e.g. Linode) - you can still take advantage of GitHub Actions which is a surprisingly versatile piece of CI/CD automation to rival anything you can do on the big cloud providers.

Or, if you just want to deploy to GitHub Pages, the out-of-box workflows that GitHub will create for you in the UI will hard-code a few things that you really don't want hard-coded, such as the Hugo version (you always want to take advantage of the most recent dot-release, for security reasons if nothing else.) I have provided an example below that should remedy this issue.
