1.  Open a command prompt and navigate to /etc/nginx/ssl
2.  issue "openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout server.key -out server.csr"
  

3. Get your certificate - Go to your certificate authority and give them the CSR

4. copy your new crt to the /etc/nginx/ssl and give it read priveledges

5. reconfigure your nginx.conf, here is mine.  The first part redirects 80 to 443, the second part listens to 443 and is optimized to return Ruby on Rails application requests using gzip and unicorn.

# Permanently move a subversion repos to git

# If you have tags and branch but never used them you can do this:
git svn clone -s --no-metadata --authors-file ~/git_resources/authors https://example.com/svn/repos
git remote add origin git@github.com:username/repo.git
git push -u origin master
# Don't forget to add a README.markdown file.
#
# optionally use git clone on the repository again, this will remove all the svn stuff from 
# .git/config file.  If you push to github all you need to do is do the initial push and then

# The "getting started" when creating a new project doesn't cover how to setup git so

# This fixes that.

git config branch.master.merge 'refs/heads/master'

Now that bitbucket supports git, it's easy to use their service as a free, private, offsite code backup. Just create an empty repo for your project on bitbucket, add it as a remote to your development repo:

username@host:~/project$ git remote add bitbucket git@bitbucket.org:username/project.git

Edit: I had to change in the config file the url value to set the complete https url: https://username@bitbucket.org/username/project.git

and use this post-commit hook to silently and automatically push your changes up after each commit.

At one point at work I needed to run a script several times. As a quick and dirty hack I made this python file that just gives me a list. I then ran it several times changing the month. It's quick, it's messy, but it worked.
