The “whack a mole” script

Todd Troxell, our “Super System Admin” at Viddler whom we also call The Todd, recently wrote a script for destroying bad queries while we were receiving an incredible amount of bad requests the other day. I called it a whack a mole script and told him he should blog about it… he called it “how to keep an ovrloaded db running”.

Install Git on Mac OS X 10.5 using a script

Although I’m a fan of Subversion as my version control system of choice, I have a few friends that are gushing all over Git. In order to begin my migration to Git, I’ll be needing to install it locally on my Mac.

This script, by Martin Bergek, seems to be the simplest way I’ve found to install Git from source on the Macintosh.

Michael Bay’s – The Dark Knight

REJECTED!

You’ve got a love these script spoofs that have been popping up lately. Â Recently we saw The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull parodied, and now we’re seeing the upcoming Batman epic flick The Dark Knight being written as if Michael Bay were set to write, produce, and direct it.

There are some gems in here, here is one of my favorites which appears in the opening sequence:

We open with a shot of The Pentagon: nerve center of the entire free world.Â An American flag (CGI) flies proudly in the central courtyard.

Yep, it is a Michael Bay film alright – complete with unnecessary CGI. Â The script is pretty well done, as was the Indiana Jones spoof, so check out either one of them.
