First, go to stackoverflow.com then define this in your Javascript console:

var hackMeSomeUnicoins = function(myFkey) {
  console.log("Ok, let's hack you some shiny unicoins! <3 /dev/alias (www.devalias.net)")
  console.log("The powers that be say you can only mine a rock every 10sec, so we do it every 11sec to be sure.")
  window.setInterval(function(){
    $.get( "http://stackoverflow.com/unicoin/rock", function( data ) {
      var rockId = data.rock;
      $.post( "http://stackoverflow.com/unicoin/mine?rock=" + rockId, { fkey: myFkey })
 .done(function( data ) {

Using Lombok with Play! 2.2x

http://projectlombok.org/

• This is mostly a note for me to help save a TON of time screwing around again.
• Play 2.2.x works 'out of the box' just by including lombok in your dependencies

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(

Java/Scala Future/Promise Map

A side by side comparison (now that I finally got it figured out!) of Play Framework v2.2.x promise unwrapping in Java and Scala.

Java

  public Promise<ObjectNode> getEmployees(final Optional<String> filterEmail)
	{
		// Call the webservice

Play WS

Separate library

The WS client library has been refactored into its own library which can be used outside of Play. You can now have multiple WSClient objects, rather than only using the WS singleton.

MDwiki (and how to get started)

If you haven't already heard about it, MDwiki is a cool little CMS/Wiki that runs entirely clientside (HTML5/Javascript) and uses Markdown

Since it's all clientside, we can do really cool things like track our changes in git and then host it all on GitHub Pages. That means super simple forking, contributing and sharing. Yay for open source!
