Setting up Django using Apache/mod_wsgi on Ubuntu 8.10
======================================================
This article will cover setting up Django using Apache/mod_wsgi on Ubuntu
8.10. The article is targeted at a production environment, but keep in mind
this is a more generalized environment. You may have different requirements,
but this article should at least provide the stepping stones.
The article will use distribution packages where nesscary. As of 8.10 the

This fabric file makes setting up and deploying a django application much
easier, but it does make a few assumptions. Namely that you're using Git,
Apache and mod_wsgi and your using Debian or Ubuntu. Also you should have
Django installed on your local machine and SSH installed on both the local
machine and any servers you want to deploy to.
_note that I've used the name project_name throughout this example. Replace
this with whatever your project is called._

Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...

Returns unique timestamps rounded down to the date (SQLite)
SELECT DISTINCT (round(timestamp / 86400000.0 - 0.5) * 86400000.0) as time FROM timeline ORDER BY timestamp ASC
--in AIR, set itemClass to Date
--the returned dates are offset with the computer's timezone, so you need to reverse it: date.time += date.timezoneOffset * 60000;

put this in your .bashrc/.bash_profile... works with both git and svn
parse_git_branch() {
ref=$(git symbolic-ref -q HEAD 2> /dev/null) || return
printf "${1:-(%s)}" "${ref#refs/heads/}"
}
parse_svn_revision() {
local DIRTY REV=$(svn info 2>/dev/null | grep Revision | sed -e 's/Revision: //')
[ "$REV" ] || return
[ "$(svn st)" ] && DIRTY=' *'
echo "(r$REV$DIRTY)"

WordPress: Using a custom nav walker to create navigation menus in plain <a> tags. That is the <ul> and <li> tags are not present. Very useful if you want to create simple links that can be centered with a simple text-align:center on the containing element.
<?php
// In your template files like footer.php
// The items_wrap value ('%3$s') removes the wrapping <ul>, while the custom walker (Nav_Footer_Walker) removes the <li>'s.
wp_nav_menu(array('items_wrap'=> '%3$s', 'walker' => new Nav_Footer_Walker(), 'container'=>false, 'menu_class' => '', 'theme_location'=>'footer', 'fallback_cb'=>false ));
?>
