mkpost for Jekyll

In order to speedup post creation, I found and improved a simple Ruby script:

#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'date'
require 'time'

puts 'What would you like to write about?'
article_title = gets
slug = article_title.downcase.strip.gsub(' ', '-')

current_date = Date.today.to_s
current_time = Time.now

filename = current_date + '-' + slug + '.md'

File.open("_posts/"+filename, "w") do |post|
 post.write("---\n")
 post.write("layout: post\n")
 post.write("title: #{article_title}")
 post.write("date: #{current_time}\n")
 post.write("---")
end

puts 'Created new file here: _/posts/'+filename

# fire up sublime text
system("subl '_posts/#{filename}' &")
