Converting SVG content from Highcharts into PNGs to be embedded into a PDF. Eventually I settled on using prawn-svg (thanks, Matt!). But I thought this solution was interesting enough to retain.
@pngs = {}
timestamp = Time.now.to_i
Dir.mkdir("#{Rails.root}/tmp/rmagick") unless File.exists?("#{Rails.root}/tmp/rmagick")
Dir.mkdir("#{Rails.root}/tmp/rmagick/reports") unless File.exists?("#{Rails.root}/tmp/rmagick/reports")
Dir.mkdir("#{Rails.root}/tmp/rmagick/reports/#{timestamp}") unless File.exists?("#{Rails.root}/tmp/rmagick/reports/#{timestamp}")
params[:svgs].each do |key,svg|
string = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>'+URI.unescape(svg)
string.gsub!("'lucida grande', 'lucida sans unicode', verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif",'') # classes_observed_by_grade_level
string.gsub!(/clip-path="url\(#highcharts-[0-9]*\)"/,'clip-path="none"') # classes_observed_by_grade_level
string.gsub!(' opacity="1"','') # classes_observed_by_grade_level

The modern Web is a dynamic place. However, sometimes it's necessary (or desirable) to remove the dynamic functionality of a website, while preserving its static content.

Migrating postgres database from one server to another through tunnels
# Open SSH tunnels to both servers, routing postgres traffic to local port
# I use SSH Tunnel app for that, but I'm pretty sure you could figure out how to
# run that tunnel in the command line
# First: Dump the old DB
pg_dump -U deploy -h 127.0.0.1 -p 3303 -d my_app_production -F c -f outfile.sqlc
# It will prompt you for the user's password, and then you should be golden.
# -U username
