Default Mac OS X system behavior is to hide system and hidden unix files (usually starting with a . symbol, e.g.: .bash_history will be out of sight). This makes spotting/opening one of this files with Finder extremely difficult. you may use your terminal, typing command like "ls -a" that will show all of the files in that particular directory, including hidden and system one's. But sometimes it may become annoying to use terminal while using the GUI. So. To change this default behavior in finder you need to enter those commands in the terminal window: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE And after this you need to restart all your Finder processes like so: killall Finder Comments?

You may often require serialization of a form in JS and parsing of it's data. Here is a nice recipe to validate date with browser default methods. I like it because of relative simplicity. It works on a principle of parsing date's components. We will create a JavaScript Date object from it and check if it is the same as a parsed date string. Date components that are wrong will go out of rage. SO we will have them different from the existing strings. This method is based on that hack. I use this only to validate the string itself. I am specifying a placeholder of an input field to minimise user possibility to make a mistake. And I usually force user to enter date in my format with this tool. Anyway it's a good idea to put any datepicker component also. function validate_date ( value ) { /**********************************************     * Validating date in format dd/mm/yyyy     ************************************...

Here are my first steps. And I hope you will find something useful here, while configuring your Pi... First of all. Mine have been bought on ebay, from resellers. And were delivered a while ago. Main purpose of this purchase war to attach a headless server to my router. I have 2 external HDD's and would like to have torrents, Time Mashine fro my macs and so on. So buying a handheld computer like this would be a bargain for me. As for built in decisions like some kinds of NAT devices and different routers with external HDD features... They are either cost a lot or lack some kinds of desired functionality. So the goal is to make some kind http/api manageable server in my local network with Time Mashine and file storage/backup. Just for fun. And to have only laptop on my work table. SO back to the Pi. If you are buying "device only" configuration, like I did. First of all you'll need some different kind of things many computer fans usual...

Django supports security models and methods out of the box. They are Group and Permission objects. Permission is m2m related to internal Django User. I helps you relay on request.user later in your code. You often come to situations where you may need a view to be accessed only by certain group of users.  For example you have the app that has two groups of users. One can search and another one can Index files. Simplest approach is to use Groups here.  In fact you may use permissions in case your app will have several unique users that might do some stuff. In general best approach is to use Group to specify type of users and Permission to specify the role of users in this group. So if you will have Group called 'search' and it will have permission with name, say 'search stuff'. So when you will call: def my_view (request): # ... my view actions ... user_permissions = request.user.user_permissions.all() for p in user...
