Build large maven projects quicker on OS X, this gist will ensure a ramdisk is mounted in /Volumes/ramdisk and triggers a profile that redirects output to a ram disk. It also only builds modules which have changed and their dependent modules. This is done by supplying the target directory of the ultimate artifact you are interested in.

Make sure you have a profile called quick that redefines the location of maven's output to the ramdisk. To do this ensure all of the below are in your parent POM.

<properties><my.build.directory>target</my.build.directory></properties>

<build><directory>${my.build.directory}</directory></build

neilellis / StickyTopScrollHandler.java
Last active December 15, 2015 00:38
Simple GWT 'sticky' scroll handler - like the one used in http://boardcast.it - it will cause scrolling to 'stick' from headerTopTriggerInPixels to headerBottomTriggerInPixels with a gravity towards initialScrollPosition. Useful if you have content you wish to 'hide' above the normal viewable area.
import com.google.gwt.user.client.Window;
public class StickyTopScrollHandler implements Window.ScrollHandler {
private final int headerTopTriggerInPixels;
private final int headerBottomTriggerInPixels;
private final int initialScrollPosition;
private Timer timer;
private int oldTop;

neilellis / rsnync_backup.sh
Last active December 15, 2015 01:08
A simple script to rsync to a backup-server, use this script with caution and make sure the destination is disposable (and running same version of OS). If unsure add --dry-run into the rsync options. You will probably want to tailor rsync-exclude.txt to your needs.
rsync -azPx -e ssh -azPx --delete-after --exclude-from="rsync-exclude.txt" / root@$1:/

Builds a new Eucalyptus image based on an existing *CentOS* image combined with the contents of running modified instances. Then adds it to the images in Eucalyptus. This is really useful if you want to constantly make changes to your base images. Also includes support for a custome run_once.sh script which will be run on first boot. Please read…
