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.

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

Pretty git Log

SO you dislike git log output in console like me and do not use it... Because it looks like so: How about this one? It's quite easy... Just type: git log - - graph - - pretty = format : '%Cred%h%Creset -%C ( yellow ) %d%Creset %s %Cgreen ( %cr) %C ( bold blue ) <%an>%Creset' - - abbrev - commit - - It may be hard to enter such an easy command every time. Let's make an alias instead... Copypaste this to your terminal: git config --global alias.lg "log --color --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit --" And use simple command to see this pretty log instead: git lg Now in case you want to see lines that changed use: git lg - p In order for this command to work remove  the -- from the end of the alias. May the code be with you! NOTE: this article is a rewritten copy of  http://coderwall.com/p/euwpig?i=3&p=1&t=git   and have b...

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_...
