One liner…
Ever wish you had a simple webserver on a machine? You can do it in a single
line with Python.
python -c "import SimpleHTTPServer ; SimpleHTTPServer.test()"
This will start a webserver on port 8000 in the current directory, and allow you to serve content for any files in that directory.
I recall burning three or four weeks of a sabbatical getting Saccade.com on the air with Wordpress. So much tweaking…
