you can always use environment-aware wrappers to have you application do different things based on deployment level. i use these pretty often. it may not seem all that elegant but sometimes the best way to do something in dev may not be the best way to do the same thing in live. or as is the case with some load balancers, your available resources may differ amongst your different deployment levels.

# globally define your current deployment level
env = "live" # or dev or whatever

# method to get some value based on deployment level
def clientIpWrapper curEnv
   clientIp = case curEnv
     when "live" then "Get client IP from HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"
     else "Get client IP from the usual place"
   end
end

# your value for the current deployment level
myClientIp = clientIpWrapper(env)

i was under the impression that you could get the client IP from ELB in the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header as long as you're balancing HTTP(S) rather than TCP. is there something about your application that prevents you from using that header for getting the client IP or was HTTPS not supported when you went in to production with the ELB?

the speeds are more snug, but i've got some extra room in my KSOs so I got the same size. They are pretty tight but not so much so that they cause a problem. find someplace where you can try them on, on an online retailer that will let you swap sizes if you can, especially if your feet are different sizes. my feet are close to a 1/2 size different and going up a size from my KSOs would have probably been too big for my small foot.

i was never big on scarves, but this summer in particular my office was kept too cold and I found light weight scarf was a simple and unobtrusive way to keep warm. that, and i also feel some pressure to accessorize because many of my coworkers are well dressed.

the first season is where it's at. the new format isn't as convincing, but still fun.

Thanks! I spotted this guy on my way home today and pretty casually took this picture. Looks like my phone's spotty low light capabilities made it a little hard to tell what's going on and maybe a little interesting.

meatballs: no flag. curry rice: flag. maybe the rules for flag placement at the ikea restaurant have more to do with food height than food content.

it's a guide for how to bow and clap your hands at a shrine. you bow twice, clap twice, tell the deity what you want, then bow one more time. it's pretty easy.
