bootstrap v3 accordion

Was banging my head on the wall for hours trying to figure out a bug in Bootstrap's accordion component. I followed the example code in the Bootstrap doc, but for some reason, the accordion would only toggle once. So if it was initially open, then I could collapse it, but clicking on it again, wouldn't open it. If the accordion was initially closed, I could open it (once), but then clicking on it again wouldn't close it. Turns out this was the issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17202285/bootstrap-collapse-only-toggles-once The solution suggests that there's a conflict with an…Read more …

setting up hyperkitty dev environment

Stumbled across one of Fedora's app called HyperKitty and was interested in some of their UI. To get started mucking around with the code, I followed these directions to setup the dev environment. I used a Fedora 19 image running on VMWare. The only changes I needed to do were: Run all the software updates for Fedora before doing any of the dev setup steps. Set up a Launchpad account and a GitHub account Create a SSH key and add it to your accounts. To create a SSH key: # create ssh keys…Read more …

newbie compile error: @import and semicolons

In case others are encountering this error, it took me awhile to figure this out (but only because I was learning as I go and knew nothing before I started playing around). I'm using a SMACSS template in my Middleman setup. In my styles.css.scss, I wanted to do several @import, since I had already gone ahead and created modular CSS files (in an attempt to follow SMACSS). For newbies like me, please note that When using multiple @import's, you need to have a semi-colon after each @import line, or else you'll see errors…Read more …

troubleshooting rvm install

In an effort to get reacquainted with Ruby on Rails, I embarked on installing rvm on my machine. Unfortunately, right out of the box, I ran into a few problems. Since I already have macports and the latest Xcode installed (along with its command lines tools), I started the installation process off by running : \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --rails --autolibs=enabled However, running that gave me this error message: curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html I tried a bunch of options…Read more …

bitbucket setup

While I do have a GitHub account, I've decided to give BitBucket a try. The biggest selling point for me is that they have unlimited private repos. I still think GitHub is better for the general open source community, since more developers are on that site so it's one less account they have to create when they are contributing to a particular project. But for tinkering on small, personal projects, it seems like BitBucket is more along the lines of what I'm looking for. After creating a BitBucket account, I went ahead and…Read more …
