How to setup Heroku Hostname SSL with GoDaddy SSL Certificate and Zerigo DNS
Heroku recently added an exciting new 'Hostname SSL' option.  This option offers the broad compatibility of IP-based SSL, but at 1/5 the price ($20 / month at the time of this writing).  
 
The following tutorial explains how to use Heroku's new 'Hostname SSL' option on your Heroku project.  Before we begin, let's list what we're using here:

    * Heroku Hostname SSL
    * GoDaddy Standard SSL Certificate
    * Zerigo DNS

When hiring Ruby on Rails programmers, knowing the right questions to ask during an interview was a real challenge for me at first. In 30 minutes or less, it's difficult to get a solid read on a candidate's skill set without looking at code they've previously written. And in the corporate/enterprise world, I often don't have access to their previous work.

To ensure we hired competent ruby developers at my last job, I created a list of 15 ruby questions -- a ruby measuring stick if you will -- to select the cream of the crop that walked through our doors.

What to expect

Candidates will typically give you a range of responses based on their experience and personality. So it's up to you to decide the correctness of their answer.

First, check your current config (example output in homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist.xml lower down in this gist):

cat ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist

Most importantly, note the -D /usr/local/var/postgres argument.

Second, shut down your current PostgreSQL.

launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist
