--a not effective way to make a neon text in corona sdk, the trick is make a loop and down the alpha
--you can use it to make shapes in neon too ;)
--email me: [email protected] ;)

---Circle Example
--i = 0
--while i < neonSize do
--    t = display.newCircle(x,y,circleSize + i) --create the circle
--    t:setFillColor(colorR,colorG,colorB) --set the color of the text
--    t.alpha = 1/i * 1 --change alpha

# Config for Nginx to act as a front-end for Riak
# The main goal is to proxy all GETs directly to Riak, and disallow anything else (POST, PUT, etc)
# Also, disallow use of the map/reduce query links (i.e. /riak/bucket/key/_,_,_)

# Config is in /etc/nginx/sites-available/default or somewhere like that

# Set up load-balancing to send requests to all nodes in the Riak cluster
# Replace these IPs/ports with the locations of your Riak nodes

# passenger-nginx-module will try to compile nginx if you choose option 1, so it will try to use gcc.
# default gcc version on ubuntu 11.10 is gcc-4.6 and there will be linkage order problems while compilation of nginx
# to pass that issue you can simply install gcc-4.4 and tell passenger to use that specific version.


#first install gcc-4.4
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.4 g++-4.4 libstdc++6-4.4-dev

#then install passenger-nginx-module by telling specific gcc version will be used
rvmsudo CC=gcc-4.4 passenger-install-nginx-module # if you use rvm
