Twitter official client for Mac problem "Unauthorized" solving.

I had a problem "Unauthorized" in official twitter client for Mac.

Tried several instal/reinstall. Deleted/Downloaded again from Apple App Store. It all didn't help. They seem to change something in authentication. So I've tried deleting all the config files in ~/Library/
Main solution that helped me:
1. Switch off the client. (be sure to Close an app)
2. Delete:

~/Library/Preferences/com.twitter.twitter-mac.plist.lockfile
~/Library/Preferences/com.twitter.twitter-mac.plist
3. Launch Twitter app and login from scratch.

I have revoked access this twitter client too in my https://twitter.com/settings/applications but it seem to make no effect.

Making similar actions to TweetDeck for Mac does not help. So it seems like problem is somewhere deeper. Hope it will help you solve similar issue.

    Indeed, that fixed it. It's been bugging me for weeks and Twitter Inc. wasn't helpful at all (ie. they said nothing). Thanks!

Time Capsule for $25

The real article name might be something like:  Configuring Raspbery Pi to serve like a Time Capsule with Netatalk 3.0 for Mountain Lion.  But it's too long ;) Here I will describe the process of using Raspberry Pi like a Time Machine in my network. To be able to backup your MAC's remotely (Like it would be NAS of some kind). It assumes you have a Raspberry Pi and have installed a Raspbian there and have a ssh connection, or somehow having access to it's console. Refer to my previous article for details . Now that we have a Pi that is ready for action let's animate it. So to make it suit you as a Time Capsule (NAS) for your MAC's you need to do those basic steps: - connect and configure USB hard drive(s) - install support of HFS+ filesystem to be able to use MAC's native filesystem - make mount (auto-mount on boot) of your hard drive - install Avahi and Netatalk demons - configure Netatalk daemon to make it all serve as a Time Machine - configure ...

Django: Resetting Passwords (with internal tools)

I have had a task recently. It was about adding a forms/mechanism for resetting a password in our Django based project. We have had our own registration system ongoing... It's a corporate sector project. So you can not go and register yourself. Admins (probably via LDAP sync) will register your email/login in system. So you have to go there and only set yourself a password. For security reasons you can not register. One word. First I've tried to find standart decision. From reviewed by me were: django-registration and django password-reset . These are nice tools to install and give it a go. But I've needed a more complex decision. And the idea was that own bicycle is always better. So I've thought of django admin and that it has all the things you need to do this yourself in no time. (Actually it's django.contrib.auth part of django, but used out of the box in Admin UI) You can find views you need for this in there. they are: password_reset password_reset_...

Django: Beautiful multiple files Upload Plugin using jQuery UI.

After successful developing python back-end for Sebastian Tschan jQuey Plugin  I've decided to make a reusable app for that purpose. So: This is a plugin, made using multiupload form from Sebastian Tschan. It uses jQuey UI and jQuery instead of Flash uploader. On Django side it uses sorl-thumbnails and PIL. You can use it in your applications with simple inclusion tag jQuery Features it has: Multiple file upload: Allows to select multiple files at once and upload them simultaneously. Drag & Drop support: Allows to upload files by dragging them from your desktop or filemanager and dropping them on your browser window.
