AWS S3 Command Line Tool for Backups

How to quickly copy an AWS S3 bucket to your local hard drive (without FTP):

aws s3 sync s3://mybucket .

The Problem

Using FTP to backup a large S3 bucket is slow. That's because FTP creates a new request for each file, downloads the file, and closes the request. That adds a lot of time to your download.

chrisyour / _twitter_wjs.js.coffee
Created January 10, 2014 07:29
CoffeeScript to load Twitter's twitter-wjs JavaScript. Tip: Any link that goes to an intent URL (like http://twitter.com/intent/tweet) acts like a Twitter button with all the Widget-wjs functionality with events, so you can customize the look of your button without having to use the Twitter generated iFrame buttons.
# Load Twitter Widgets
window.twttr = ((d, s, id) ->
js = undefined
fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]
unless d.getElementById(id)
js = d.createElement(s)
js.id = id
js.src = "//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore js, fjs
window.twttr || t = { _e: [], ready: (f)-> t._e.push(f) }

chrisyour / Remove Textmate 2 Cache
Created July 29, 2013 19:31
If your bundles start acting funny and aren't loading properly, you can always remove TextMate's cache and start again. For example, the basic HTML indenting features in Textmate 2 suddenly vanished on me along with some other HTML commands I use everyday. I removed the cache folder and restarted Textmate 2 and everything was back to normal.
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Cache/*
