Sass/Less Comparison

In this document I am using Sass's SCSS syntax. You can choose to use the indented syntax in sass, if you prefer it, it has no functional differences from the SCSS syntax.

For Less, I'm using the JavaScript version because this is what they suggest on the website. The ruby version may be different.

Create a WXR-format export file to export comments from ExpressionEngine and import into Disqus
I had some difficulty trying to get a format exported from ExpressionEngine which I could use to import comments into Disqus, and eventually settled on the code above after looking at Disqus' own import format (http://docs.disqus.com/developers/export/import_format/) and trawling the ExpressionEngine forums to adapt other solutions which exported to Movable Type format.
You need to start off by creating a new template group called 'export'. Inside that, you make a template called 'index' and paste in the contents of index.xml above, making sure that you replace the channel name and template group name to those appropriate for your setup. This needs to be the index for the template group. Next, create another template called 'comments' and paste the contents of comments.xml, again, replacing the channel name as appropriate.
Now visit http://yoururl.com/export and you should see the exported entries. Wait for the whole page to load which may take some time with a lot of entries. Then use your browsers 'View s

Checkout github pull requests locally

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:

A bash script to make .pot files for WordPress plugins

Installation

To install, you need to have the WordPress i18n library on your computer. Check it out using SVN:

sudo svn co http://i18n.svn.wordpress.org/tools/trunk/ /usr/lib/wpi18n

You don't have to put the library in /usr/lib/wpi18n, but if you don't put it there, make sure to set the $WP_I18N_LIB environment variable in your .bashrc file (with no trailing slash):

export WP_I18N_LIB="/path/to/i18n/lib"

TRIM Enabler for OS X Yosemite 10.10.3
#
# UPDATE for 10.10.4+: please consider this patch obsolete, as apple provides a tool called "trimforce" to enable trim support for 3rd party SSDs
# just run "sudo trimforce enable" to activate the trim support from now on!

# Original version by Grant Parnell is offline (http://digitaldj.net/2011/07/21/trim-enabler-for-lion/)

For WordPress, force the protocol scheme to be HTTPS when is_ssl() doesn't work, e.g. on a load-balanced server where _SERVER['HTTPS'] and _SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] don't indicate that SSL is being used. NB: may not be needed now, see SSL Insecure Content Fixer and HTTP Detection: https://ssl.webaware.net.au/https-detection/
