MySQL automatic reconnect
# If your workers are inactive for a long period of time, they'll lose
# their MySQL connection.
#
# This hack ensures we re-connect whenever a connection is
# lost. Because, really. why not?
#
# Stick this in RAILS_ROOT/config/initializers/connection_fix.rb (or somewhere similar)

Created January 18, 2012 22:39
Small implementation of Singletons for Backbone
# Public: generates a mixable singleton implementation dependent on a model key.
# Once you mix it into a model, your model gains an .instance method that will
# generate an object and cache it. Further calls to the .instance methods will
# return the same object.
#
# key - The name of the attribute we use to index instances. Defaults to "id".
#
# Example
#
# # Called without arguments uses the "id" as key.
