Library Hours

Library Hours

Gives us a Grid view for a the hours for all the libraries and departments. The grid can be made for a weekly view or the monthly view. Buttons are provided to show other months or weeks. LibCal Provides us the code for these widgets. But the one thing different about these widgets is that the CSS also needs to be copied in to our site not like the other widgets by LibCal.

API Output

Option: JavaScript

Connect a new computer to GitHub account

I've done this many times but every time I attempt to do it anew many months have passed and I always have to look it up again. Here is a quick reference for myself and others to do this quickly and easily.

Create SSH key

First create the ssh key on your local computer and copy to your clipboard:

~$ cd ~/.ssh && ssh-keygen
~$ cat id_rsa.pub | pbcopy

Installing phantomjs on El Capitan

PhantomJS will not install on Mac OS X El Capitan.

Trying to install the stable release will give a pleasant enough error:

~$ brew install phantomjs
phantomjs: This formula either does not compile or function as expected on OS X
versions newer than Yosemite due to an upstream incompatibility.
Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.
