Fixing Apachebench on OS X Lion
# If you're getting this error trying to use ApacheBench on OS X Lion:
# Benchmarking mwmanning.com (be patient)...apr_socket_recv: Connection reset by peer (54)
#
# You need to download the latest beta version of Apache and rebuild ab.
# Here's how (assuming you have homebrew installed).
# Install Homebrew (https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew) and then the Perl Regex support
brew install pcre
# Download the latest from http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi, then decompress and compile it

Code highlighting for Keynote presentations

Step 0:

Get Homebrew installed on your mac if you don't already have it

A 'super' method for backbone.js (plain javascript)
// This method gives you an easier way of calling super
// when you're using Backbone in plain javascript.
// It lets you avoid writing the constructor's name multiple
// times. You still have to specify the name of the method.
//
// So instead of having to write:
//
// User = Backbone.Model.extend({
// save: function(attrs) {
// this.beforeSave(attrs);
