Rails 4 Custom Configurations

Update: June 29, 2015: Added a clarifying example for MyApp name and a template on how the custom configuration would look like.
Was working on a Rails 4 side project when I realized that I should make a configuration file for a constant that I wanted. I knew there was a way to do configuration in Rails, but wasn't sure what best practices were so I looked it up. It turns out that as of Rails 4.2 there is now a configuration x namespace for you to provide your own custom configurations!

CGroups and No Space

I've been working with Control Groups recently to investigate a performance issue. I have not found a solution yet but will post again if that does happen! As for CGroups, I came across an issue that although simple if I just read the documentation, didn't seem obvious by the error:

Kindle Reader on Mac OS X Bug

I use Kindle heavily for reference books and normal books across many devices and for some reason, I always have issues with the Mac version of Kindle reader. For some reason my purchased books do not always appear in my library. These are the non-downloaded versions so I can't download them because I can't see them. I've found a fix that although can be annoying, works so far 100% of the time. All you have to do is go to Kindle > Preferences and then Deregister your account and re-register! Now all your books should appear in your library for you to download! I've had to do this a couple of times which is annoying but at least it works! Hope they fix this issue! Edit (June 27, 2014): Apparently, this happens on the Windows version too. You'll need to deregister as well and re-register to get all the books to appear again. Quite disappointing.
