Quick virtualenv fix on Mountain Lion

Overview

It appears that Apple somehow broke Python in Mountain Lion, so even with the latest Command Line Tools and Xcode 4.4 virtualenv won't properly work. During virtual environment creation it will try to install easy_install inside /Library hierarchy. So let's give it a quick workaround. Let's install custom python into your $HOME-directory using pythonbrew!

Installing proper Command Line Tools

Without the Apple Mac Developer account you won't even see the proper download link for the latest CL Tools and the old one won't work on ML. So here's the link: http://goo.gl/iBTXh. It points towards the Apple website so don't worry.

How to stream the London 2012 Olympics

There have been several HOWTOs posted regarding streaming the 2012 Olympics using HTTP / SOCKS proxies via SSH and other similar methods. None of these actually work using the latest Flash on Mountain Lion (with Firefox, Chrome or Safari). Additionally, the third-party streaming sites don't provide BBC's amazing interface, which lets you quickly skip to individual competitors and events. However, setting up an OpenVPN server does work, with some tweaks. You'll get the exact same UX that people in England receive.

• Get a Linode VM in the UK. The 512MB server for $20 works just fine. (If you want to use my referral link, go for it: http://bit.ly/OuzdVe)

• Follow the standard OpenVPN installation documentation. (Basically, 'apt-get install openvpn' or 'yum install openvpn' and then follow these docs: http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html). For an OS X client, I prefer Viscosity: http://www.thesparklabs

/*
* Apex doesn't expose dependent picklist info directly, but it's possible to expose.
* Approach:
*  * Schema.PicklistEntry doesn't expose validFor tokens, but they are there, and can be accessed by serializing to JSON
*    (and then for convenience, deserializing back into an Apex POJO)
*  * validFor tokens are converted from base64 representations (e.g. gAAA) to binary (100000000000000000000)
*    each character corresponds to 6 bits, determined by normal base64 encoding rules.
*  * The binary bits correspond to controlling values that are active - e.g. in the example above, this dependent option
*    is available for the first controlling field only.

- Tune /etc/ssh/sshd_config

UseDNS no  # Disable DNS lookups
GSSAPIAuthentication no # Disable negotation of slow GSSAPI

don't forget to restart it, use a script provider to set it , or create it with veewee or snapshot it

- Tune Vagrantfile

    vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--natdnshostresolver1", "on"]

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.
