# A DNS change to Rubygems.org is causing lingering issues. Namely, 
# rubygems.org and production.s3.rubygems.org are still pointing to
# the old address. See:
# http://twitter.com/#!/gemcutter/status/30666857698557952

# The symptoms:

# $ gem install benelux --version 0.5.17
# ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'benelux' (= 0.5.17) in any repository
# ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)

One-line Tree in Python

Using Python's built-in defaultdict we can easily define a tree data structure:

def tree(): return defaultdict(tree)

That's it!

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = [email protected]:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

leifg

file_to_disk = './tmp/large_disk.vdi'

Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
  config.vm.box = 'base'

  config.vm.customize ['createhd', '--filename', file_to_disk, '--size', 500 * 1024]
  config.vm.customize ['storageattach', :id, '--storagectl', 'SATA Controller', '--port', 1, '--device', 0, '--type', 'hdd', '--medium', file_to_disk]
end

Flask + uWSGI + nginx Primer

I've been having trouble with serving a Flask app via uWSGI and nginx, so I thought I'd put together some of the basics to help out others.

How this shit works

• Flask is managed by uWSGI.
• uWSGI talks to nginx.

##Incomplete Reminders Search:

The script is pretty basic and goes like the following:

-reminderDoneTime:00011231 reminderOrder:00011231

###How it works To start with, reminderDoneTime:[datetime] returns true if it finds a date that is on or after what is listed. We can invert this by prepending the query with a -. As a result, -reminderDoneTime:[datetime] returns true if the note either has no timestamp or if it has a date before [datetime].
