Comment on Managing Your Grails Versions with gswitch by Ed

Ed — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:19:13 +0000

Just moved back to Grails for a new project from Ruby. I had been using rvm to manage many rubies and gem bundles – elegant, and functional. I used MacPorts to install Grails 2.0.0 on a new MacBook (yeah!) but I couldn’t get 1.3.7 installed. Then I found gswitch – I was up and running with multiple versions in seconds, all nicely organized like in rvm. Thanks Steve!

Comment on App Store Price Drop: A Post-Mortem by Nicolai

Thank you for sharing!

Just to supplement: We have on two occasions seen a short burst in sales in Japan with sales rising to 3-5 times the normal daily sales.

And both times it followed a pattern much like you describe with one day being very high and second day much lower and after 3-4 days back to normal.

In both occasions our googling brought us to think that twitter and blog mentions was the source -- we had done nothing and for us it came out of the blue.

Comment on Automated DNS for AWS instances using Route 53 by Rafal Lukawiecki

Thanks for the script, very useful. Just a couple of comments: the dhclient-exit-hooks.d is a distro-specific technique. Unless you configure additional utilities, it won't work on RHEL, I believe. You may prefer to put the call to update-route53-dns towards the end of your /etc/rc.local in those cases. rc.local gets run on boot only, but that should be fine, as AWS does not change the IP address of an instance while it is running.

Also, the utility ec2metadata seems to be called ec2-metadata, so your script needs a tiny update.

Many thanks anyway, Rafal Lukawiecki

Comment on Forget Github Limits: Free Private Git Repositories with Dropbox by Dan Adams

Yeah, I’ve been using this for a few months without a problem. I always view the git log in my cloned repo so it’s the same as any other.

Trying this today. Great idea. For one or two repos it’s not really worth investing in a paid personal GitHub account. What’s the best way to look at the git log in this circumstance?
