Etherpad: find the URL for a page if you can only remember some of its contents

1. Connect to the Etherpad database, the credentials are in a file like src/etherpad/trunk/etherpad/etc/etherpad.localdev-default.properties

2. Execute SQL similar to that below, replacing Phantom Chicken with your search term:

    SELECT DISTINCT(m.ID) FROM `PAD_REVMETA_META` AS m LEFT JOIN
      (`PAD_REVMETA_TEXT` AS t) ON (m.NUMID = t.NUMID) WHERE t.DATA 
      LIKE '%Phantom Chicken%';
   

3. Use the IDs shown to compose a URL, e.g. if ID is omgkittens and your Etherpad server is at etherpad.mysite.com, then your URL is http://etherpad.mysite.com/omgkittens.

Resque durability

Resque (https://github.com/defunkt/resque) is nice, but doesn't provide durability. When a worker "reserves" a job, it actually just pops it from the data store, which deletes the job. If anything happens to the worker after it pops the job, the job is lost forever. However, the author of Resque, defunkt, doesn't want reservation or retries added, and has rejected such patches in the past. Therefore, this may not be worth doing with Resque unless someone wants to maintain a fork of it forever.

Background

1. https://github.com/defunkt/resque/issues/16 -- where defunkt writes "Resque is explicitly designed to never re-try jobs. Ever, under any circumstance." and "If you need jobs to never fail and never slip through the cracks due to failure you may want [something else]".
2. https://github.com/defunkt/resque/issues/93 -- where defunkt write "Resque
