Share data among controllers

Use $ rootScope

var app = angular.module('mymodule',[]);
app.controller('Ctrl1', ['$scope','$rootScope',
  function($scope, $rootScope) {
    $rootScope.showBanner = true;
}]);

app.controller('Ctrl2', ['$scope','$rootScope',
  function($scope, $rootScope) {
    $rootScope.showBanner = false;
}]);

Python nested classes json encoder

Json pickle will do the trick : http://jsonpickle.github.io/

## import lib
import jsonpickle

## create class
class Thing(object):
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name

## create class instance
obj = Thing('Awesome')

## from obj to json string
frozen = jsonpickle.encode(obj)

## from json string to obj
thawed = jsonpickle.decode(frozen)

Goddady wildcard subdomain url call handling

If I type in the browser www.jhonjairoroa87.com, the blog is shown. But when I type test.jhonjairoroa87.com, there was no page loaded. So iI wabnted to enable the routing from anysubdomain.jhonjairoroa.com to this blog.

So, the solution was:

Go to GoDaddy's DNS Manager, the first table on top should say A(Host), click the button under that first table that says Quick Add. In the first text field, enter an asterisk (*), in the second one, the IP address to redirect to (the same one you have for the @ record on top). Click "Save Zone File" on top-right and confirm.

This creates a catch-all record to anysub.yourdomain.com.

RequireJS: Uncaught Error: Module name "underscore" has not been loaded yet for context: _. Use require([])

I was getting the error

Uncaught Error: Module name "underscore" has not been loaded yet for context: _. Use require([])

Solved it adding the shim values in the require js config:

require.config({
    paths:{
        jquery:'jquery/jquery-min',
        underscore:'underscore/underscore-min',
        backbone:'backbone/backbone-min'
    }, 
    // here
    shim: {
        underscore: {
            exports: '_'
        },
        backbone: {
            deps: ["underscore", "jquery"],
            exports: "Backbone"
        },
        waitSeconds: 15
    }
});

.Net ReportViewer datetime format problem am/pm

I was having troubles formating a datetime parameter with am/pm. No matter the formatting, it was always missing the am/pm .

 - The expression was Parameters!initDate.Value and I got 2014/01/07 12:00:00
I also tried
 -Format(Parameters!initDate.Value,"yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss tt") and I got 2014/01/07 12:00:00

and so on....

So I decided to use an if to evaluate the hour and manually set the am/pm:

=Format(Parameters!initDate.Value,"yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss ") + IIf(Parameters!initDate.Value.Hour > 11, "pm", "am")
