Configuration management tools, explained with a Hubot
http://www.matthewhutchinson.net/2014/2/16/configuration-management-tools-explained-with-a-hubot
Configuration management tools, explained with a Hubot. From scratch with a bunch of different CM tools, Ansible. And finally plain old Bash. Show (without the tell).

No comments yet, post one now. Some time ago I wrote a javascript class to implement keyboard short-cuts for paging through listings one item at a time (and across paginated pages). It was inspired by the navigation at FFFFOUND. And explained nicely by Ryan Singer. Some time ago Ryan posted a link to my script on the 37Signals blog. Now with over 130 watchers. Work with the script. By default (and in the demo) it hooks to items in the HTML. That formated with in the hATOM. It makes use of Hotkey.js.

A timesaving subdomain rake task. A time saving rake task for adding or updating your local /etc/hosts file. I created this for Bugle, allowing me to quickly configure my development machine hosts file with subdomains used in the app. See the inline comments for an explanation. Has the added feature of an array of default hosts to always add when you run it. Work is done on a tmp file then, then sudo copied on top of /etc/hosts. It exists as a gist on github.
