NOTES

AppleScript is a rather peculiar scripting language to learn.

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

This is a document full of notes of all the things that have hung me up getting into Python's new asyncio library. I mostly use it for tools that schlep data around between file systems, databases, and search engines for work. So lots of io. Usually I use gevent and python 2.7. But recently I've been trying to get more into asyncio and here I'm going to document all the things that I felt important to know or that tripped me up.

1. Thoroughly understand yield, and non asyncio coroutines

The first thing you need to do is write some coroutines without asyncio. This means understanding the yield keyword and how it can be used to create generators. Then next the protocol for sending/receiving from generator objects.

Recall generators are a special kind of iterator. When you specify a generator like so, you can use it in a for loop:

def generator()

for i in range(0, 5):

Auto-deploying built products to gh-pages with GitHub Actions

This is a set up for projects which want to check in only their source files, but have their gh-pages branch automatically updated with some compiled output every time they push.

A file below this one contains the steps for doing this with Travis CI. However, these days I recommend GitHub Actions, for the following reasons:

• It is much easier and requires less steps, because you are already authenticated with GitHub, so you don't need to share secret keys across services like you do when coordinate Travis CI and GitHub.
• It is free, with no quotas.
• Anecdotally, builds are much faster with GitHub Actions than with Travis CI, especially in terms of time spent waiting for a builder.
