Run VMware Fusion headless at Mac OS system startup

Run VMware Fusion headless at Mac OS system startup.

I heard you like headless VMs on your Mac so I wrote this script for your launchds.

Assumptions

  • Tested on Mac OS X 10.6.4 with VMware Fusion 2.0.5 and 3.1.1.
  • A interactive user automatically logs into the system at startup. I had some issues trying to get this running without an interactive user logged in. I automatically log in for Airfoil Speakers anyway.
  • Your virtual machines live in /Virtual Machines

Created April 14, 2011 14:13
Create a timeline view for the current subtree of an org-mode file. Fastest way to have overview of any projects or sub-projects dates (see: orgmode.org)
;; Note: you need to create the ~/tmp directory in your home folder for this to work:
(defun org-agenda-make-timeline-for-tree ()
"make a timeline view in agenda for current tree"
(interactive)
(org-copy-subtree)
(find-file "~/tmp/agenda_tmp.org")
(beginning-of-buffer)
(let ((beg (point))) (end-of-buffer) (delete-region beg (point)))
(org-paste-subtree)

Node.js + Socket.io + Bash. A collaborative terminal for your browser.
//
// This server will start a bash shell and expose it
// over socket.io to a browser. See ./term.html for the
// client side.
//
// You should probably:
//
// npm install socket.io
// curl -O https://github.com/LearnBoost/Socket.IO/raw/master/socket.io.min.js

Example of HTTP Basic Auth in NodeJS
var http = require('http');
var server = http.createServer(function(req, res) {
// console.log(req); // debug dump the request
// If they pass in a basic auth credential it'll be in a header called "Authorization" (note NodeJS lowercases the names of headers in its request object)
var auth = req.headers['authorization']; // auth is in base64(username:password) so we need to decode the base64
console.log("Authorization Header is: ", auth);
