    What to do when GitHub goes bad?

    This was originally posted on github, I save a backup here just in case. :)

    • Git build-in server

    git daemon –base-path=/Users/libinpan/clone-from-github –export-all

    git clone git://127.0.0.1/rails…

    Note: The default port git uses is 9418. Make sure that your firewall is set up to handle this.

    • GitWeb

    git instaweb –httpd=webrick

    • Deploy with Capistrano

    set :repository, “git://127.0.0.1/rails-app”

  • iftop: display bandwidth usage on an interface

    How to install?

    • Download and install the Universal Binary from here
    • Or if you already have MacPort installed

    sudo port install iftop

    How to use it?

    • run “ifconfig -l” or “/Applications/Utilities/Network\ Utility.app” to get your network interface id.

    • In my case is ‘en1′, so I just type into Terminal:

    sudo iftop -i en1

    Enjoy!

  • Trading Places with Indian Outsourcers

    This is the best show I’ve seen on this topic, besides the movie Outsourced. Definitely worth watching!

    Roger Spurlock (from the Supersize Me movie) explores what the the US job outsourcing experience is like on the other side.

    Outsourcing has changed our planet.

    This was done on the “30 Days” series on FX hosted by Morgan Spurlock. It was very entertaining and thought-provoking for the guy who went to India, the Indians themselves and, of course, those of us watching.
