Accessing external MySQL database form a mobile On Mobile (via PhoneGap/Cordova)
function selectDB(dbNum) {
	document.getElementById("dbResult").innerHTML = "Loading...";
	document.getElementById("dbTitle").innerHTML = "Database " + dbNum;
	$.ajax({
		url: 'http://www.pereanu.com/health/backend.php?num=' + dbNum,
		dataType: 'jsonp',
		jsonp: 'jsoncallback',
		timeout: 10000,
		success: function(data, status){
			$.each(data, function(i,item){
				document.getElementById("dbResult").innerHTML = item.name;
			});
		},
		error: function(){
			document.getElementById("dbResult").innerHTML = 'Connection took too long. Try again.';
		}
	});

cd sox-14.4.0
./configure --prefix=/home/sox
make -s && make install

Cleaning up WordPress databases WordPress stores post/pages drafts indefinitely which can take up a lot of space. This SQL statement will delete
DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE post_status="trash";
DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE post_status="auto-draft";
DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE post_status="draft";
DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE post_status="inherit" AND post_type!="attachment";

Getting around AutoCAD opening menu on dash When typing a dash “-” on most newer versions of AutoCAD, a drop-down menu will open (this appears to be similar to pressing ALT and then down). This gets in the way when you type negative values in any command (for example, “@12′&-90"). One way around this is to turn off the drop-down menubar completely. To do this:
MENUBAR 0
The menubar can be turned on at any time by simply:
MENUBAR 1

Adding a custom WordPress post type Creating a custom post type in WordPress requires changing your function.php file. This can be found in the /wp-contents/themes/<theme name>/ path. To do this, add the following to the bottom of the file:
add_action( 'init', 'create_hacks' );
function create_hacks() {
	$labels = array(
		'name' => _x('Hacks', 'post type general name'),
		'singular_name' => _x('Hack', 'post type singular name'),
		'add_new' => _x('Add New', 'Hack'),
		'add_new_item' => __('Add New Hack'),
		'edit_item' => __('Edit Hack'),
		'new_item' => __('New Hack'),
		'view_item' => __('View Hack'),
		'search_items' => __('Search Hacks'),
		'not_found' =>  __('No Hacks found'),
		'not_found_in_trash' => __('No Hacks found in Trash'),
		'parent_item_colon' => ''
	);
	$supports = array('title', 'editor', 'custom-fields', 'revisions', 'excerpt', 'thumbnail', 'comments');
	register_post_type( 'hack',
		array(
			'labels' => $labels,
			'public' => true,
			'supports' => $supports
		)
	);
}

Modifying struts configuration Adding a page requires setting up a path, an action and then restarting the server with the new configuration. Modifying the struts-config.xml file, located in WEB-INF:
<action path="/WC_Autism" type="org.mindspec.autdb.web.actions.DbSearchAction" name="dbQuery" scope="request">
<forward name="success" path="wcautism"/>
</action>
Modifying the tiles-def.xml file, located in WEB-INF:
<definition name="wcautism" extends=".layout_main">
<put name="title" value="AutDB - Autism"/>
<put name="body" value="/WEB-INF/pages/WC_Autism.jsp"/>
</definition>
Restart tomcat, found in /bin.
./shutdown.sh
./startup.sh

Modifying "More Fields" WordPress plugin to work with new TinyMCE The "More Fields" plugin allows you to add custom fields within the WordPress GUI. At some point, the TinyMCE editor that is used for the WYSIWYG fields will stop working. This can be fixed by updating the javascript call that turns it on. The file to modify is "wp-content/plugins/more-fields/more-fields-field-types.php". Line 40 should be replaced with:
tinyMCE.execCommand("mceAddEditor", false, "%key%");

Adding AdMob to a Cordova/PhoneGap project On a command-line terminal:
cordova create AAA com.neromike.AAA AAA
cd AAA
cordova platform add ios
cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.console

In XCode, add the entire folder of AdMob files ("googlemobileadssdkios.zip") to the project.

In XCode, go to "Build Phases", then "Link Binary with Libraries" and add the following:
Edit the "Classes/MainViewController.h" file:
Add #import "GADBannerView.h" under the other import statements.
Modify the MainViewController to:
	@interface MainViewController : CDVViewController { GADBannerView *bannerView_; } @end

Edit the "Classes/MainViewController.m" file:
Add the following lines to "webViewDidFinishLoad"
	// Initialize the banner at the bottom of the screen.
	CGPoint origin = CGPointMake(0.0, self.view.frame.size.height - CGSizeFromGADAdSize(kGADAdSizeBanner).height);

	// Use predefined GADAdSize constants to define the GADBannerView.
	bannerView_ = [[GADBannerView alloc] initWithAdSize:kGADAdSizeBanner origin:origin];

	// Specify the ad unit ID.
	bannerView_.adUnitID = @"ca-app-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXX";

	// Let the runtime know which UIViewController to restore after taking
	// the user wherever the ad goes and add it to the view hierarchy.
	bannerView_.rootViewController = self;
	[self.view addSubview:bannerView_];

	// Initiate a generic request to load it with an ad.
	[bannerView_ loadRequest:[GADRequest request]];

Making Cordova external links open in Safari browser Add the following to each HTML page with external links. Requires jQuery.
$(document).on('click', 'a', function (event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    window.open($(this).attr('href'), '_system');
    return false;
});

Freeing disk space on a Fedora instance Our m2.medium EC2 instance has a small 10GiB volume that unfortunately filled out quickly.

We have two main sources of large files:
Cleaning this up was automated by setting up a cron job to just delete the log files and make sure the yum cache is always cleaned.
0 * * * * rm -f /opt/apache-tomcat-6.0.44/logs/*
