klynch / Mac OS X Disable Hot Corners
Created February 15, 2011 14:23
Disable those pesky hot corners when you don't want them and easily reenable them when you do!
-- By Richard Kulesus, 2009. Released without license!
-- Use this for whatever!
-- I seriously despise code authors who copyright tiny bits of obvious code
-- like it's some great treasure. This is small and simple, and if it saves
-- the next guy some time and trouble coding applescript I'll feel good!
--
-- Quickly change all the hot-corners to do what you want.
-- Particularly useful for presentations and full-screen games.
-- Customize the activity of each hot-corner with "all windows/application windows/dashboard/disable screen saver/none/show desktop/show spaces/sleep display/start screen saver"
-- The MODIFIERS are the keys which can be used to supplement hot-corner activation.

Set up Django, nginx and uwsgi

This document has now been incorporated into the uWSGI documentation:

http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorials/Django_and_nginx.html

Set up Django, nginx and uwsgi

Steps with explanations to set up a server using:

Zero downtime deploys with unicorn + nginx + runit + rvm + chef

Below are the actual files we use in one of our latest production applications at Agora Games to achieve zero downtime deploys with unicorn. You've probably already read the GitHub blog post on Unicorn and would like to try zero downtime deploys for your application. I hope these files and notes help. I am happy to update these files or these notes if there are comments/questions. YMMV (of course).

Other application notes:

  • Our application uses MongoDB, so we don't have database migrations to worry about as with MySQL or postgresql. That does not mean that we won't have to worry about issues with the database with indexes being built in MongoDB or what have you.
  • We use capistrano for deployment.

Salient points for each file:

This is a CSS reset for the Bootstrap Navbar component. In the future I'd like to see them deploy an .unstyled class. Until then this'll do.
.navbar-inner,
.navbar-fixed-top .navbar-inner,
.navbar-fixed-bottom .navbar-inner,
.navbar-static-top .navbar-inner {
background: none;
border: none;

Proxy functions. Place them in $HOME/.bashrc or in a differente file, and then source it from bashrc, or source it manually when needed. The file extension is merely illustrative.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.system.proxy
# Change de ip address and port number accordingly.
function myProxyOn() {
gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy mode 'manual' # ' manual / nome / automatic '
gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.http host '10.0.0.1'
gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.http port 8080
gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.https host '10.0.0.1'
