Multiple Domains on a Single Host

So the problem is simple. We're developing one, or a number of sites on our development box. We would like to be able to hit them in our browser via their url names, rather than various permutations of ip number and folder structure. I do my development on a Mac, so this solution is for OS X. The first step is to go into: 
/etc/hosts
in a text editor, and assign the url to the loop-back address (you can just put it under all the other entries): 
127.0.0.1 my-ghost-blog.com
No that this is done, we next need to flush our dns cache using the following command in the terminal: 
dscacheutil -flushcache
OK, now we can go to: 
my-ghost-blog.com
in our web browser, and it will bring up our local running instance of ghost. ---

This is a well known problem, and has a well known solution. The more of these solutions there are across the web, the greater the chance they will be found by any number of different key words.

Java application opening then immediately closing on OSX

I have had several occasion's where Java apps would open, and then immediately close.  Often, I don't have the time to dig into the reason, as they aren't crucial.  So, I just move on. Recently, I was maddened by this happening to an application ( see other blog post on Kindle Previewer ) I really needed to use, so I had to get into the trench.  After cracking open the app, and rooting through the various files, I did some spot-checks of the java version used to build the jars ( 2 bytes at offsets 6 & 7 ), as well as had a look at the info.plist, which had the JVMVersion key set at 1.5+. Since Oracle took over Java, Apple has essentially abandoned it to them, and hasn't done an update I *think* since version 6. All of Apple's Tooling for Java stops with JVMVersion key's of 6* and 6+.  The short answer to all this is, if something was built using Apple's AppBundler tools, and you have updated Java on your Mac to 7 or above, you're probably SOL to g...

The Easy Way to Set up Emacs for Clojure Development on OS X

I had mixed results following The clojure-doc tutorial for Emacs, and found I had to do a few modifications. Following the recipe is easy: I was not able to easily get Aquamacs to work. Frankly, I lost interest after the initial try, and just went with the emacs build for OSX. I might mess with Aquamacs at some future point, but for now, let's just stick with Emacs proper. Install Emacs from brew First, set up Emacs from brew: $ brew install emacs --cocoa --srgb $ brew linkapps Emacs NOTE If you already have Emacs in your Applications folder, the second brew command will fail. To make sure we're on the same page, just rename Emacs.app to something else, like EmacsCocoa.app or whatever, then re-run the second brew command to link the Emacs distribution you just installed with brew to your Applications folder. After it successfully runs, you'll have a link in your Applications folder called, "Emacs". Clicking it will open the GUI version of Emacs....

Boost on OS X using the brew boost keg

I was installing boost today using the *brew keg*, which shows it's for the latest version, 1.55.0, but I kept running into errors. --HEAD --with-mpi In the case of #1, it kept puking every time it tried to grab boost from svn. In the case of #2, no matter what I did, including this option kept giving a warning about Python support soon to be deprecated. And yes, I tried the --without-python` option. It just wasn't happening. I don't know if it's a problem with the keg, or a problem with this particular build of Boost. Finally, I was successfully able to get things to build using: brew install boost --c++11 --with-icu --without-python --without-single
