Trying to figure out how to apply a nesting of \newenvironment in a manner reminiscent of OO inheritance (at least, that's the way it stacks in my brain)
\newenvironment{someSection}{%
% some \newcommands go here
\header{Some Section}%
\addvspace{\vpad}%
\begin{adjustwidth}{\extraMargin}{\extraMargin}%
}{%
\end{adjustwidth}%
\addvspace{\vpad}%
}

Do annotated tags automatically based on branches, for doing a rolling upgrade from puppet 2.x to puppet 3.x.
[alias]
root = rev-parse --show-toplevel
current-branch = rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
ls-untracked = ls-files -o --exclude-standard
release = !"$(git root)/.git/local-commands/release.pl"

sycobuny / error_dump.php
Created January 17, 2014 16:28
Dump PHP variables into the error log instead of the page when debugging
<?php
/**
* Dump a variable to error_log instead of the main page
*
* To do debugging, it's often preferable to stick output into the
* error log rather than the main page, in case you might forget to remove
* a statement (it does happen) - but you can't do `var_dump()` or
* `print_r()` to output, or at least you couldn't before. This will get
* the output of those functions and send them to error_log(), reformatted

Just a simple file to build standard routes for a set of objects that will all behave in a similar way
class MyApp < Sinatra::Base
RestfulObjects = [
SampleObject
]
require 'restful_sinatra.rb'

An iteration of my migrator script for PHP
<?php

* filename be provided by the $PHP_CONNECTION_SCRIPT variable, or a
* filename matching the parameters demanded by
* Migrator::default_connection_script(), the latter two of which must
