Do you enjoy eating hot dogs? I hope you won’t be put off by my frankness when I tell you that I absolutely love them. In fact, I enjoy no food item more than a freshly-boiled hot dog. Now, I’ve done a lot of movies, and it’s true that I’ve worked with quite a few celebrities who did not share this opinion. I’m sorry to say that these people have always angered me.

There are two types of people in this world: those who eat hot dogs whenever it is possible to do so, and those who opt to do other things with their free time. Who do the latter think they are kidding? What pastime could be more rewarding than the consumption of hot dogs? I haven’t yet found one, and I don’t expect to in my lifetime. Unlike other foods, hot dogs can be eaten at any time, in any place, and it is not necessary to cook them. Now, I ask you: Why not eat hot dogs? They are delicious.

I carry a bag of hot dogs with me wherever I go. I eat them from the bag whenever I get the urge, regardless of the circumstances

Todo.rb

Todo.rb is a simple command-line tool for managing todos. It's minimal, straightforward, and you can use it with your favorite text editor.

Getting Started

Todo.rb doesn't require any third-party gems so you can copy the file anywhere and use it as long as it's executable:

# Updated version is always at: https://gist.github.com/febuiles/1549991
#!/bin/bash

artist=`osascript -e'tell application "iTunes"' -e'get artist of current track' -e'end tell'`
title=`osascript -e'tell application "iTunes"' -e'get name of current track' -e'end tell'`
song=`curl -s --get "https://makeitpersonal.co/lyrics" --data-urlencode "artist=$artist" --data-urlencode "title=$title"`

echo -e "$artist - $title\n$song"

TL;DR

Part of this is a response and part of it a challenge. If you are only interested in the challenge clone the repo and run rake (more detailed instructions here).

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:
