Update lib for Titanium

I like easy drop-in CommonJS libraries that need minimal configuration to perform common tasks.

This CommonJS library checks with Apple every X days to see if there's a new version available. If so, it asks the user if he/she would like to update and then opens the app in the App Store.

At minimum, the library requires no configuration at all and just a single line of code.

Look at advanced.js for all available options and methods.

Also check out my rating library:

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

Here’s some basic recipe stuff to put into the top of .htaccess, above WP Super Cache and WordPress rules. Together, they reduce load on the server by compressing static files before sending them, making browsers cache static files, dying quickly on static files 404 errors, and blocking some common hacker / spammer attacks.

Screencapture and animated gifs

I say "animated gif" but in reality I think it's irresponsible to be serving "real" GIF files to people now. You should be serving gfy's, gifv's, webm, mp4s, whatever. They're a fraction of the filesize making it easier for you to deliver high fidelity, full color animation very quickly, especially on bad mobile connections. (But I suppose if you're just doing this for small audiences (like bug reporting), then LICEcap is a good solution).

Capturing (Easy)

  1. Launch quicktime player
  2. do Screen recording

PDFtk Server Install Workaround for Mac OS X

Installing PDFtk Server edittion on your Mac

This workaround install is necessary because PDFtk was pulled from homebrew-cask due to issues with it aggressively overwriting file permissions that could impact other installed libraries. See this homebrew-cask issue.
The following steps worked on Mac OS X 10.10.1 with a standard brew installation for the PDFtk Mac OS X server libary version 2.02.
All Terminal commands separated by a full line space. Some commands wrap into multiple lines.

Download and extract the Mac OS X server install pacakge
