Vim MacBook LEDs
" Assuming keyboard_leds is built and available in your PATH,
" this will make capslock indicate whether or not you are in insert mode.
autocmd InsertEnter * :!keyboard_leds -c1
autocmd InsertLeave * :!keyboard_leds -c0
" To make Vim control the keyboard backlight, use this.
" Note that it's glitchy and you'll probably toss the idea soon after.
" I can see programmatically controlling the lights to be useful in other cases, though.
" Install Lab tick and set a hotkey for Toggle, and one for Brighten.

Setting up a Raspberry Pi as a dashboard server with Dashing

Setting up a Raspberry Pi as a dashboard server with Dashing

Why the heck did I do this?

I wanted to set up one of my Raspberry Pi's as a data dashboard, pushing sensor data to a web interface that's easy to digest. I decided to use Shopify's Dashing framework. Dashing is based on Sinatra, and is pretty lightweight.

Dashing does require Ruby 1.9.3 to run. In addition, it makes use of the execjs gem, which needs to have a working Javascript interpreter available. Originally, I tried to get therubyracer working, but decided to switch over to Node.js when I ran into roadblocks compiling V8.

One warning: The RPi is a very slow system compared with modern multi-core x86-style systems. It's pretty robust, but compiling all this complex software taxes the system quite a bit. Expect that it's going to take at least half a day to get everything going.
