kixorz / aws_autoscaling_cron.rb
Created March 20, 2013 22:41
Running cron jobs in AWS Auto Scaling group is tricky. When you deploy the same code and configuration to all instances in the group, cron job would run on all of them. You may not want that. This script detects the first instance in the group and allows only this instance to run the job. IAM user used by this script needs to have permissions to…
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'syslog'
require 'net/http'
require 'aws-sdk'
Syslog.open
AWS.config({
:access_key_id => '<iam user key>',
:secret_access_key => '<iam user secret>'

HenrikJoreteg / JS Util solution using underscore.js
Created October 22, 2010 21:20
Rather than creating some other util global, just extend underscore.js with any additional methods you want.
// If you don't use underscore.js, use it (http://documentcloud.github.com/underscore/)
// Then, use underscore's mixin method to extend it with all your other utility methods
// like so:
_.mixin({
escapeHtml: function () {
return this.replace(/&/g,'&amp;')
.replace(/>/g,'&gt;')
.replace(/</g,'&lt;')
.replace(/"/g,'&quot;')
.replace(/'/g,'&#39;');
