lsloan / Toggle Character Viewer.workflow
Created June 12, 2015 18:12
When saved as an Automator workflow service in OS X, this Applescript will toggle the visibility of the character viewer palette. This is useful in older versions of OS X, which didn't provide easy access to special characters like emoji, etc. I bound this workflow to the Command-Option-Control-C key press for easy access.

lsloan / JsonPlus.php
Last active August 29, 2015 14:26
JsonPlus is a wrapper for PHP's json_encode(), which shamefully lacks the ability to automatically remove certain values from the JSON it produces.
<?php
/**
* Class JsonPlus
*/
class JsonPlus {
/**
* A wrapper for json_encode() with the ability to run a filter on the data first.
*
* @param mixed $value
