Pingu is a tiny little Heroku app pinger that prevents your dynos from falling asleep.
Kinda like that horrible guard guy on Reykjavik airport.
#Usage (recommended)
Clone pingu. Run npm install.
Create a pingu user.
Save your Heroku API token somewhere in pingu user's ${HOME} and make sure you
limit access (only make it readable by pingu)! You can source it in your pingu user ~/.bashrc file.
Create a Cron job that runs pingu and pass it the Heroku token. Something like:
*/30 * * * * HEROKU_API_KEY=${HEROKU_API_KEY} ${HOME}/pingu/node_modules/.bin/coffee ${HOME}/pingu
PROFIT!
