postgres.rake - Reset sequences

Sequences get out of sorts when you start doing a lot of pg_dumping from production back to staging and development.

Someone came up with this on one of the projects I was working on, but I've seen references to it in other places, so I'm not sure who was first.

I've updated it (removed Object.subclasses_of) so it'll work with rails 3.

collectiveidea/delayed_job - GitHub

If a method should always be run in the background, you can call #handle_asynchronously after the method declaration:

class Device
  def deliver
    # long running method
  end
  handle_asynchronously :deliver
end

device = Device.new
device.deliver

If you haven't looked at Delayed::Job in a while, there's a bunch of new features in the 2.1.x branch, like the one above.

About | Bookmarks

This delicious-like bookmark website was created using WordPress with some plugins and a custom theme.

Twenty Links
A theme designed to look like delicious and optimized for saving bookmarks. Theme by Stephanie Leary, updated to use the custom bookmark post type by Aaron Parecki.

Bookmarks Post Type
A custom post type for storing bookmarks. Includes a custom field for storing the link URL. By Aaron Parecki.

Delicious XML Importer
Import your Delicious XML file into WordPress as posts, links, or bookmarks (using the custom post type above). Based heavily on the WordPress XML importer, written by Guillermo Moreno, Stephanie Leary and updated to use the custom post types by Aaron Parecki.

This looks really cool. I'd love for some way to mash tumblr/posterous style postings with the rest of my blog content, even keeping them generally separated by /big-category/.

Not sure I want to install another blog just for my links, but it's a damn nice looking site.

html - CSS strikethrough different color from text? - Stack Overflow

Here is a sample jQuery implementation – thanks to gojomo's answer and utype's suggestion (+1 for both)

$(function(){  //===================================================================  // Special price strike-out text  // Usage:  //   Normally:    <span class='price'>$59</span>  //   On special:  <span class='price' special='$29'>$59</span>  //===================================================================  $(".price[special]").each(function() {    var originalPrice = $(this).text();    $(this).html('<strike><span>' + originalPrice +'</span></strike> ' + $(this).attr('special'))           .removeAttr('special')           .addClass('special');  });});

The CSS for that could be

.price strike, .price.special { color: Red; }.price strike span { color: Black; }

Really slick jQuery to do special price with strike through in all text.
