Extracting Emoji From Slack!

Slack doesn't provide an easy way to extract custom emoji from a team. (Especially teams with thousands of custom emoji) This Gist walks you through a relatively simple approach to get your emoji out.

If you're an admin of your own team, you can get the list of emoji directly using this API: https://api.slack.com/methods/emoji.list. Once you have it, skip to Step 3

HOWEVER! This gist is intended for people who don't have admin access, nor access tokens for using that list.

// add a flash message
//
  App.flash = function(msg, options){
    options = options || {};
    var flash = jQuery('.flash');

    var template = App.templates['flash-list-item'];
    var data = {'message' : msg};
    var message = jQuery.tmpl(template, data);

#Dr StrangeCode or "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Rails 3.0 Upgrade"* I recently upgraded one of my Rails applications from 2.3.5 to 3.0.0 (and from ruby 1.8.7 to 1.9.2). I took a series of notes of all the problems and issues I ran into. ##Ruby 1.8.7 to 1.9.2 upgrade

• FasterCSV is part of 1.9.2, but not 1.8.7. If you want to maintain compatibility with both, then keep using FasterCSV.
• ftools no longer exists in ruby 1.9.2. Was using it in a require. I just used fileutils instead.
• I had a bunch of old-style case/when statements that no longer work in 1.9.
