How to install a user-specific perl on OSX.

Much like RVM installs rubies. Useful for updating perl or installing cpan modules without using sudo, or mucking up the system perl.

'homebrew' won't work for this. Instead, install 'perlbrew'.

$ curl -kL http://install.perlbrew.pl | bash

Put this in your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc

source ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc

Imported my todos from Toodledo to Asana.

README

Obviously I exported the tasks from Toodledo first into a csv file. So its not reading directly from Toodledo.

I mark all the new tasks with Toodledo project to track what source they came from.

reset mac hardware without reboot

This is useful, say, if your camera stops working. It forces the hardware to reboot without rebooting the OS. OSX doesn't provide a way to do this explicitely. In Windows its just called "Hibernate".

output readings from a Griffin PowerMate USB on osx

I was toying around with my PowerMate USB on the Mac.

I noticed that in the PowerMate application, you can set triggers for mouse wheel scrolling. But some applications coughMAMEcough don't pick it up.

Investigating I found that it provides its spinner as a uncommon HID type. So applications ignore it, not knowing how to handle that.

The click is presented as a normal button though. So no big deal there.

  1. brew install libusb
  2. brew install hidapi

Add a "Checkbox" shortcut to Evernote Web Client

I recently switched from using the Evernote Desktop Client to the web client. The only thing I missed was the short-cut for creating Todo checkboxes.

Here is a quick TamperMonkey (Grease Monkey) script to add that functionality back in. Add the userscript to Tampermonkey.
