How I set up my Chromebooks' dev environment

Chromebook Setup Options

Option 1: Stay in Chrome OS

If you're writing bare-bones javascript for the browser, creating Chrome Apps and Extensions, or using remote coding apps like cloud9, Koding, or Nitrous, you may not need to install Ubuntu. Some tutorials can be done entirely within the browser. The tradeoff is that you won't have a full-featured command line, and you may hit a point where you can't install something that you need.

To start coding within Chrome OS, install Text or Caret as a text editor. (Text stores files in Google Docs and Caret stores the files locally on your machine, which may help you choose.) After that, you're good to go, since Chromebooks come with a browser installed.

screenshot + code showing how to query logstash/elasticsearch with a graphite function.

logstash queries graphed with graphite.

Operation: Decouple whisper from graphite.

Method: Create a graphite function that does a date histogram facet query against elasticsearch for a given query string for the time period viewed in the current graph.

Reason: graphite has some awesome math functions. Wouldn't it be cool if we could use those on logstash results?

The screenshot below is using logstash to watch the twitter stream of keywords "iphone" "apple" and "samsung" - then I graph them each, so we get an idea of popularity. As a bonus, I also do a movingAverage() on the iphone curve to show you why this is awesome.
