Apply a PowerDNS on Rails macro to a bunch of domains on the command line

Bulk macros

Throw this script in the tmp directory of where your PowerDNS on Rails installation lives, make is executable and run like this:

$ ./tmp/apply-macro.rb 1 example.com example.org example.net

It will load the macro with ID 1, and apply it against each domain passed as CLI arguments.

School Online Bootstrap Guide/Kit

Kudos to @paulscott56 for the cool name. It all started on twitter.

School Online Bootstrap Guide/Kit

School websites suck, actually, schools suck at being online. But in reality, schools don't need much to be online. 99/100 times the minimum viable school site might just be single static page with contact information, links to FB and/or Twitter. Oh, and a "add my to the mailing list" feature, cause that would be better...

The sad thing is that currently we have three camps, maybe more:

  1. Schools getting exploited by unsavoury IT companies and paying big bucks for mediocre FOSS deployments with Corel Draw graphics.
  2. Schools teachers acting defensively against anyone who is better than them at operating Dreamweaver
