Install FreeTDS, unixODBC and pyodbc on OS X

First, install the following libraries:

$ brew install unixodbc
$ brew install freetds --with-unixodbc

FreeTDS should already work now, without configuration:

$ tsql -S [IP or hostname] -U [username] -P [password]
locale is "en_US.UTF-8"

locale charset is "UTF-8"

How to use rails load paths, app, and lib directories.

In Rails 3

NOTE: This post now lives (and kept up to date) on my blog: http://hakunin.com/rails3-load-paths

If you add a dir directly under app/

Do nothing. All files in this dir are eager loaded in production and lazy loaded in development by default.

If you add a dir under app/something/

Setting up Nginx, uWSGI & Python3
======================================
Setting up Nginx, uWSGI and Python3
======================================
First off, I'm traditionally a PHP developer, but am looking at moving across to Python. I really struggled to find decent documentation on how to get a server up and running for deploying Python web applications from the point of view of someone coming from PHP. The main problems I came across with documentation were:
1) Only showed you how to run the server for a single web application.
2) Only showed you how to configure the app, not the server it was running on.
My preferred workflow for development is by setting up a new VM in VMware Fusion and then forwarding through all requests to that VM via /etc/hosts. This might not be the optimal way to get things up and running, but it works for me.
