I have updated the vim page with my vimrc/gvimrc configs. Instead of repeating myself, I will quote some parts of the page .. More details and the vim config itself here I recommend turning backups on if you have them off. I personally hate having the ~ files all over my OS, so I keep them along [...]

Sometimes, like when you’re testing hooks or trying to create synced remote and local repos, you’ll find yourself touching empty files just to get a git push going. This script automates this task by creating a unique temporary file, committing it, pushing, and then removing the file. #!/bin/sh TMP=tmp-`date +'%m%s'` touch $TMP git add $TMP git commit $TMP -m '(forced [...]

Static sites in this context just means non-database driven sites. Your static site can be an elaborate PHP script or just a few markup and image files. For this I am using Jekyll – A neat Ruby gem that makes your static sites dynamic. It lets you create layouts and embed custom variables in your [...]

This is a small Ruby script that fetches the 100 trends of the day for a specific date. If multiple dates are searched, one can find out how many times a keyword occurred between two dates, or just find out what keywords are constantly appearing on the top 100 list. Very profitable info! but alas, [...]

This is a little (as of now incomplete) scraper I wrote to grab all the anime video code off of AnimeCrazy (dot) net. This site doesn’t host any videos on its own server, but just embeds ones that have been uploaded to other sites (Megavideo, YouTube, Vimeo, etc). I don’t know who the original uploaders [...]

A quick script I whipped up to dump my MySQL database. Usage: sh backthatsqlup.sh (be warned that it dumps ALL databases. This can get huge uncompressed) #!/bin/sh # Isam (Biodegradablegeek.com) public domain 12/28/2008 # Basic BASH script to dump and compress a MySQL dump out=sequel_`date +'%m%d%Y_%M%S'`.sql dest=/bx/ function e { echo -e "n** $1" } e "Dumping SQL file ($out). May take awhile..." #echo "oh [...]

During development, working with forms quickly gets annoying because you have to constantly fill in each field, sometimes with unique info. One way around this is to write a little Javascript code that just populates the fields. I use something like this on the bottom of the form. I had jQuery no-conflict mode on in [...]

Just sharing a script I wrote to quickly deploy Wordpress (and eventually a few other webapps) sites, which somebody might find useful. This uses Linode’s API* to add the domain name to the DNS server along with some subdomains. If you’re using another server, (Slicehost, your own, etc), you can alter the dns class to [...]

POSTing data on web forms is essential for writing tools and services that interact with resources already available on the web. You can grab information from your Gmail account, add a new thread to a forum from your own app, etc. The following is a brief example on how this can be done in Ruby [...]
