Linux and GLX example of fast glReadPixels with PBOs
/*
* Minimal Linux- and GLX-specific example of using a pool of Pixel Buffer
* Objects to stream pixel data.
*
* This is a minimal test case for opening an OpenGL window with raw
* X11/Xlib/GLX, drawing a simple test image, and fast PBO-based streaming of
* image data to disk with glReadPixels().
*
* On an NVidia RTX2080 Super, on Ubuntu 20.04, saving to an SSD, this sustains
* 150+fps (peaking at 500+, hitting 900+ if only writing a single file instead

This quick and dirty script imports posts and images exported by the Posterous backup feature into Octopress. Requires the escape_utils and nokogiri gems. Doesn't import comments. See comments below the gist for more instructions.

# Videos and images are copied into a post-specific image directory used

# Posterous. Images will probably need to be compressed/optimized afterward.
#
# Links to other posts in the same import will try to be converted. You will

Two implementations of a popen3() function in POSIX/C providing stdin, stdout, and stderr (http://blog.mikebourgeous.com/2011/06/12/programmatic-process-control-in-c-popen3/)
/*
* This implementation of popen3() was created in 2007 for an experimental
* mpg123 frontend and is based on a popen2() snippet found online. This
* implementation may behave in unexpected ways if stdin/stdout/stderr have
* been closed or modified. No warranty of its correctness, security, or
* usability is given. My modifications are released into the public domain,
* but if used in an open source application, attribution would be appreciated.
