echo 'include "path/to/dir"' > filemap.txt
hg convert --filemap.txt ./X ./TMP

variables included in TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS not in template with DEBUG=False http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16084688/variables-included-in-template-context-processors-not-in-template-with-debug-fal

This is a simple gist to illustrate the peculiar behavior with django 1.5 and DEBUG=False when running locally (and in production?...haven't gotten that far yet).

curved intersection of divs

This demo demonstrates how to connect two adjascent <div>s with something that mimicks border-radius behavior. The key is using the :before and :after selectors to add a svg background image that has the rounded corners.

Change the timestamps of all files managed in a mercurial repository to the last modified time recorded in the repository. This is useful, for example, when multiple people are using the same Makefile to run a data workflow
#!/bin/bash
cd $(hg root)
for f in $(hg st -A | awk '{if($1!="I") print $2}'); do
# http://stackoverflow.com/a/4039466/564709
t=$(hg log -l1 --template '{date|isodate}' $f | awk '{d=$1; gsub(/-/,"",d); t=$2; sub(/:/,"",t); printf("%s%s", d, t)}')
