Setting up dnsmasq for Local Web Development Testing on any Device
# Setting up dnsmasq for Local Web Development Testing on any Device
Please note, these instructions are for OS X Lion.
First, you need to get the IP address of your machine on your local network. In OS X, the easiest place to find this is in System Preferences > Network. If you're using DHCP on your local network, you will want to make sure your computer requests the same IP address when it renews it's IP address lease. I recommend configuring the DCHP Reservation settings on your router to accomplish this. Otherwise, you can specify a manual address in your network settings:
1. Go to *System Preferences > Network*
1. Click *Advanced...*

Convert OS X Keychain exported entries into logins for 1Password import
These two files should help you to import passwords from mac OS X keychains to 1password.
Assumptions:
1) You have some experience with scripting/are a power-user. These scripts worked for me
but they haven't been extensively tested and if they don't work, you're on your own!
Please read this whole document before starting this process. If any of it seems
incomprehensible/frightening/over your head please do not use these scripts. You will
probably do something Very Bad and I wouldn't want that.
2) You have ruby 1.9.2 installed on your machine. This comes as standard with Lion, previous
versions of OS X may have earlier versions of ruby, which *may* work, but then again, they

Rails i18n framework for your meta tags

Rails i18n framework for your meta tags

Here is a convenient method for page titles and other meta tags.

One common solution is to use "yield" and some kind of helpers that would call content_for (like in this Railscasts).

The problem is that for Search Engines Optimization, you should change all your meta tags for every page to avoid duplicate content, and call your helpers on every page...

This workaround uses the i18n framework and tries to find the good tags depending on the page you are, so you don't have to call any helper by default.
