Konami Code

Matt told me about the Konami Code in Google Reader.

Pure awesome.

Nice BackgroundRb.yml Config File

Here is a handy configuration to easily run BackgroundRb in both development and production environments without having to worry about multiple backgroundrb.yml files:

:backgroundrb:
  :ip: 0.0.0.0
  :port: 11111     # use port 11111

:production:
  :backgroundrb:
    :port: 22222      # use port 22222
    :lazy_load: true  # do not load models eagerly
		:debug_log: false # disable log workers and other logging
    :environment: production # use rails production environment

Then in development:

ruby script/backgroundrb start

and in production:

ruby script/backgroundrb start -e production

The backgroundrb environment variable loads all of the production variables from the config.yml file (including the rails environment), this isn’t obvious from the documentation and kind of confusing with the double environments.  Hope this helps.
