Writes to crontab a command that, at the beginning of every hour, reads aloud the result of `fortune`. Problem: overwrites existing crontab.
echo "00 * * * * `which fortune` | say" | crontab

Use like this: `cat [filename].md | md2flask` It kicks up a Flask server that renders the markdown as HTML for your viewing pleasure. Change `/usr/bin/python` to whatever your terminal returns for `which python`, run `chmod +x md2flask`, add it to your $PATH, do a little dance, make a little love, and you should be alright.
#!/usr/bin/python
import flask
import markdown
import sys
app = flask.Flask(__name__)
md = sys.stdin.read()
@app.route('/')

while i < arr.length

Except from the Yeoman template [generator-couchapp](https://github.com/garbados/generator-couchapp) that recursively copies everything in the template directory accordingly to some simple rules. Cheap time-saver.
CouchappGenerator.prototype.app = function app() {
// copy everything in `templates` based on rules:
// - if dir, this.directory
// - if filename starts with '__', ignore
// - if filename starts with '_', this.template
// - else, this.copy
var files = fs.readdirSync(__dirname + "/templates");
for(var i in files){
var stat = fs.statSync(__dirname + "/templates/" + files[i]);
if(stat.isDirectory()){

Windows Azure "ResourceProvider" Design

This doc outlines how to create a ResourceProvider to integrate Cloudant into the Microsoft Azure markertplace.

What?

Microsoft requires us to have a ResourceProvider (RP) that responds to HTTP requests, in order to mediate requests around Subscriptions and Resources.

Subscriptions are roughly analogous to a Cloudant account, while Resources equivocate to databases. The ResourceProvider must provide CRUD operations against both of these entity types. Various gotchas complicate this:

JavaScript "Counter" object for iterating over asynchronous tasks, so you can do something once they're done even if they don't complete in any known order.
// calls `cb` after `next()` meets `end`
// useful for asynchronous iteration
var Counter = function(end, cb){
this._count = 0;
this.next = function(){
this._count++;
if(this._count === end){
cb();
}
}
