The new Census Geocoding API (http://geocoding.geo.census.gov/geocoder/) is really great, but doesn't accept cross-site AJAX request. This is a simple PHP wrapper to passes javascript requests to the Census.
<?php
require 'census-geocoder-lib.php';
// Who doesn't want to send in coordinates or addresses, and get Census geography back?
try {
// try passing ?lat=36.54&lng=-86.5&returntype=geographies&searchtype=coordinates
$api = new census_geocode($_GET);
echo $api->run();

Formalize street names by spelling out abbreviations and regularizing ordinals.
import re
"""
Normalizes a street name with more formal street suffixes and directionals.
Caveats:
Intended for just the street name itself, not the street plus surrounding text.
Intended for US addresses.
For example, the "suffixes" regexes will strip the period off the end of 'St.' and
replace it with 'Street', even if it's at the end of a sentence.

Tired of that extra '#' you need to specify an element's id in jQuery, compared to document.getElementById? Just add this to your code and use $.getElementById('foo')! Easy as pie!
// this is satire, do not use in real life
jQuery.getElementById = function(id) {
return jQuery('#' + id);
};

Steps I just went through to set up a new CentOS 7 box, for possible future edification
# set up a non-root user
# below commands assume you're running from root
useradd <USER>
passwd <USER>
# install another python
yum -y update
yum groupinstall -y 'development tools'
yum install python-devel
# maybe don't need this?

Create a complete graph of lines between a set of points in QGIS
from itertools import combinations
# get the active layer
inlayer = iface.activeLayer()
# Get the index of the NAME field, then rewind the list
infeatures = inlayer.getFeatures()
eg = infeatures.next()
i = eg.fields().indexFromName('NAME')
infeatures.rewind()
