projectweekend / mock_sqs_data.py
Last active December 26, 2015 18:59
This function mocks the response the call to get messages from an Amazon SQS Queue...which is handy for testing when you don't want to make real calls to your SQS queue. The MESSAGE_BODY_TEMPLATE is simply a dictionary where the keys represent the keys in the output JSON message and the value represents a function to cast the appropriate datatyp…
from boto.sqs.jsonmessage import JSONMessage
MESSAGE_BODY_TEMPLATE = {
'article_id': int,
'owner_id': int,
'auth_token': str
}

Node.js CRUD Socket - A reusable pattern I'm testing out to for a socket that handles CRUD actions against a model.
module.exports = function (socket, handleError, config) {
// set some common items we will need from config
var route = config.route;
var model = config.model;
// define the socket behavior
socket.on(route, function (data) {
switch (data.action) {

Node.js ERROR Socket - A pattern I'm exploring for communicating all socket errors back to client over a single socket.
module.exports = function (socket, config) {
var route = config.route;
var errorHandler = function (errRoute, err) {
var data = {
socket: errRoute,
error: err
};
socket.emit(route, data);

AngularJS ERROR helper service - A pattern that I am testing out to easily inject some basic error handling into controller functions.
factory('ErrorHelper', function() {
return {
errorMessage: "",
dismissError: function () {
this.errorMessage = "";
},
logToConsole: function (data) {
console.log("ERROR:");
console.log(data);

This is all the Vagrant config you need to run a virtual memcache server...if you're into that sort of thing. Seriously though, it can come in handy. Just drop these three files into the same directory and: vagrant up. Your memcache server will be available at: 192.168.100.101:11211. Party on.
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
# Vagrantfile API/syntax version. Don't touch unless you know what you're doing!
VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"
Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
config.vm.box = "precise32"
config.vm.provision :shell, :path => "bootstrap.sh"
config.vm.box_url = "http://files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box"

Last active January 2, 2016 07:59
Since Facebook feels the need to capture stuff I do not choose to post, I'm going to have some fun with it! I don't have the time to type stuff into textareas all day, but this JavaScript snippet does. Go to your Facebook news feed, open up your browser's dev tools, paste this into console, and press enter.
var mySpecialMessage = "Suck It!";
var sendMySpecialMessage = function () {
var textareasOnPage = document.getElementsByTagName("textarea");
for (var i = 0; i < textareasOnPage.length; ++i) {
var item = textareasOnPage[i];
