Homebrew

How To

Homebrew is a package management system for OS X. You can read more about it here, or simply run

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

to install it.

Get node binary (node.exe) from http://nodejs.org/download/
Create the folder where node will reside and move node.exe to it
Download the last zip version of npm from http://nodejs.org/dist/npm
Unpack the zip inside the node folder
Download the last tgz version of npm from http://nodejs.org/dist/npm
Open the tgz file and unpack only the file bin/npm (without extension) directly on the node folder.
Add the the node folder and the packages/bin folder to PATH
On a command prompt execute npm install -g npm to update npm to the latest version

Now you can use npm and node from windows cmd or from bash shell like Git Bash of msysgit.

jquery.scrollLock.js

Useful for when a blocking user experience is needed (in my case, didn't want people unwittingly loosing their place by scrolling while a modal required their attention): $.scrollLock() locks the body in place, preventing scroll until it is unlocked.

// Locks the page if it's currently unlocked
$.scrollLock();

// ...or vice versa

For feedback or suggestions, please send a tweet (@dideler). Gist comments don't notify me. Pull requests aren't possible with gists (yet), so I don't recommend forking because then I can't easily get the change.

Starring this gist will give me an idea of how many people consider this list useful.

	{#
	time can be any string acceptable by http://www.php.net/strtotime, the
	template will output that time's month.

	If you don't want to pass in a date you can set time like this:
	{% set time = "now"\|date("U") %}
	{% set time = "December 2012"\|date("U") %}

	How ever you want to output items onto the calendar is a different issue,
	but I'd assume pushing everything into an array numerically indexed by that day:

	<?php

	/**
	* A PHP class to access a PHP array via dot notation
	* (Agavi http://www.agavi.org was the inspiration).
	*
	* This was hacked in to an existing codebase hence the
	* global config array variable.
