SVN setup

Quick reference:

http://www.tonyspencer.com/2007/03/02/setup-a-subversion-server-in-4-minutes/

SNV port: 3690

You are going to need to type fast but I think you can do it in 4 minutes.  These are my notes on what worked for me on my Fedora core 6 with svn lib already installed by the package manager:

1. Create a Repository

svnadmin create /svnrepos

2. Create a SVN User

vi /svnrepos/conf/svnserve.conf

In that file add these three lines:

anon-access = none
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd

Create a password file:

vi /svnrepos/conf/passwd

In that file add a line for your user:

# add users in the format : user = password
tony = mypassword

3. Import Your Project

(assuming you’ve put your project files in /projects/myrailsproject)

svn import /projects/myrailsproject file:///svnrepos/myrailsproject

4. Start the SVN Server as Daemon

svnserve -d

Done! You should now have a svn server running with one project named myrailsproject.

Try checking it out of the repository:

svn co svn://192.168.0.2/svnrepos/myyrailsproject

Since we set anon-access to none you should be prompted for username and password which you created in the file /svnrepos/conf/passwd.

Windows 8 Application tile update

Ref:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh761490.aspx

Updating notification tile:

//1. Choose a tile contents template:
var tmpl = Windows.UI.Notifications.TileTemplateType.tileWideImageAndText01;

//2. Get tile xml dom:
var xml = Windows.UI.Notifications.TileUpdateManager.getTemplateContent( tmpl )

//3. Update text:
var txt = xml.getElementsByTagName("text");
txt[0].appendChild( xml.createTextNode("Hello World") );

//4. UpdateImage:
var img = xml.getElementsByTagName("img");
img[0].setAttribute("src", "ms-appx:///images/logo.png");

//5. Create a notification via the new xml and set it to expire in 10 minutes:
var notification = new Windows.UI.Notifications.TileNotification( xml );
notification.expirationTime = new Date( (new Date()).getTime() + 600 * 1000 );

//6. Send the tile update
Windows.UI.Notifications.TileUpdateManager.createTileUpdateForApplication().update(notification);

CSS: box-sizing

Don't Overthink It Grids | CSS-Tricks: "Gutters
The hardest part about grids is gutters. So far we've made our grid flexible by using percentages for widths. We could make the math all complicated and use percentages for gutters as well, but personally I don't like percentage gutters anyway, I like fixed pixel size gutters. Plus, we're trying to keep too much thinking out of this.

The first step toward this is using box-sizing: border-box;. I like using it on absolutely everything.

*, *:after, *:before {
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
Now when we set a width, that element stays that width, despite padding or borders being applied."
