with_status

Use with_status to run commands and have your arduino let you know when they are done.

with_status starts by turning the LED off before running your command. Once your command completes, it will turn the LED on. Green if the command succeeded, and red if it failed.

I use this with long running commands (such as deploying to heroku), so I can start working on something else without forgetting about my process.

2013-01-25 18:06:55.146 Stride[86479:c07] *** -[__NSCFCalendar components:fromDate:]: date cannot be nil
I mean really, what do you think that operation is supposed to mean with a nil date?
An exception has been avoided for now.
A few of these errors are going to be reported with this complaint, then further violations will simply silently do whatever random thing results from the nil.
Here is the backtrace where this occurred this time (some frames may be missing due to compiler optimizations):
