Add sorting to your product taxon page in Spree

So in following @berkes 'Add sorting to your product page in Spree' guide, I tried to repeat with my taxons controller. However there was no difference in order, despite the scopes being applied.

Another commenter Adam shared my frustration: 'How would I make this work for taxons as well? Everything I try doesn't work'.

After a little bit of research, I figured it out.

TL;DR

Gradients, Maths and Insanity

Here a quick thought of insanity before I leave the office at ~1.05am. I dwell and fret over design, particularly when its me making the decision, to the point of insanity (a recurring theme here).

If I have a base color, I use Adobe's Kuler to get matching colors (with some rule depending) or I checkout ColourLovers to use a platte crafted by someone with a keener eye than I. Similarly I use a typography calculator to define font sizes relative to each other and so on, so on. I have a whole bunch of these rules and methods I use so I can sleep easier knowing there is method behind my design choices.

Heres one I came up against just there, I wanted to put in a nice gradient as background in something I'm building at the moment, like anyone else who is a regular connoisseur of GitHub's trending repos, I stumbled across uiGradients ([Repo](https://git

Adding Back "Empty Application" Template to Xcode

It sucks that Xcode6-Beta3 and later removed the "Empty Application" template. You can of course start with a single view template and rip out storyboard and whatnot, but heres how to bring back the "Empty Application" template. At time of writing this, this is working for Xcode6-Beta5.

Adding "Empty Application" Template to Xcode

  1. Go to {Xcode.app}/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/Templates/Project Templates/iOS/Application/
  2. Create a directory called Empty Application.xctemplate
  3. Copy the below file TemplateInfo.plist into that directory
  4. Download TemplateIcon.tiff from SendSpace here and copy it into the same directory
  5. Fire up Xcode and you should now have the "Empty Application" template you can create empty applications from just like before
  6. ???
  7. Profit
