Convert values between RGB hex codes and xterm-256 color codes.
#! /usr/bin/env python
""" Convert values between RGB hex codes and xterm-256 color codes.
Nice long listing of all 256 colors and their codes. Useful for
developing console color themes, or even script output schemes.

Some whitespace relating testing with jadejs
<div class="test"><!-- Adding text using | results in a newline AFTER (not before) each line-->foo
bar
baz
</div>
<div class="test"><!--I thought I could use extra | lines to insert additional whitespace but
this currently outputs | characters into the result.

Deep population helper for mongoose
// Example usage:
// deepPopulate(blogPost, "comments comments._creator comments._creator.blogposts", {sort:{title:-1}}, callback);
// Note that the options get passed at *every* level!
// Also note that you must populate the shallower documents before the deeper ones.
function deepPopulate(doc, pathListString, options, callback) {
var listOfPathsToPopulate = pathListString.split(" ");
function doNext() {
if (listOfPathsToPopulate.length == 0) {
// Now all the things underneath the original doc should be populated. Thanks mongoose!
callback(null,doc);

A bash script to update your git repos in the background. It also pops up a user notification when a repo is synced
#!/bin/bash
# This is required for `notify-send` to work from within a cron.
# http://askubuntu.com/questions/298608/notify-send-doesnt-work-from-crontab/346580#346580
eval "export $(egrep -z DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS /proc/$(pgrep -u $LOGNAME gnome-session)/environ)";
# syncAndWink
#
# Syncs all remotely-tracked branches on a git repo passed as first argument ($1). It also pulls any new branches
# and tags attached to the repo.

Getting started with Node.js

"How do I get started with Node?" is a commonly heard question in #Node.js. This gist is an attempt to compile some of the answers to that question. It's a perpetual work-in-progress.

And if this list didn't quite answer your questions, I'm available for tutoring and code review! A donation is also welcome :)

Setting expectations

Before you get started learning about JavaScript and Node.js, there's one very important article you need to read: Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years.

Understand that it's going to take time to learn Node.js, just like it would take time to learn any other specialized topic - and that you're not going to learn effectively just by reading things, or following tutorials or courses. _Get out there and build things!
