	RUBY:
	# push timecheck command to clients every 30 minutes for rooms where client count is greater than 0
	timecheck = EM.add_periodic_timer(60*30) {
	@channels.keys.each do \| key \|
	if @channels[key][:clients].length > 0
	data = { :type => "roomnotice", :special => "timecheck", :msg => "heyo!" }.to_json
	@channels[key][:channel].push data

How day do dat? Pulling vine videos from twitter based on a hashtag. create the json request, bump the script tag with object into your dom, delete dom element, parse it.

	result.entities.urls[0].expanded_urlfetch = function(query) {
	var script_tag = document.createElement("script");
	script_tag.id = "fetcher";
	script_tag.src = "https://search.twitter.com/search.json"+query+"&callback=parse";
	document.body.appendChild(script_tag);
	}

	parse = function(data) {
	document.body.removeChild(document.getElementById("fetcher"));
	if( data && data.results ) {

I was having a hard time figuring out how to upload an image to Twitter with a progress callback. Turns out I wasn't far off, just needed to convert my SLRequest to an NSURLRequest and then AFNetworking(godbless you) does the rest with progress blocks.

	-(void)sendTwitter {
	ACAccountStore *account = [[ACAccountStore alloc] init];
	ACAccountType *accountType = [account accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:
	ACAccountTypeIdentifierTwitter];

	[account requestAccessToAccountsWithType:accountType options:nil completion:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error) {
	if (granted == YES) {
	NSArray *arrayOfAccounts = [account accountsWithAccountType:accountType];
	if ([arrayOfAccounts count] > 0) {
	twitterAccount = [arrayOfAccounts lastObject];

Run a piece of code after a delay. I'm sure an Objective-C nerd loses it's wings every time i use this, but god damn is that useful as shiiiiit. Even worse, im iterating over subviews to destroy them.

	double delayInSeconds = 1.0;
	dispatch_time_t popTime = dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, delayInSeconds * NSEC_PER_SEC);
	dispatch_after(popTime, dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^(void){
	//code to be executed on the main queue after delay
	sendButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, self.view.frame.size.height-(191.5), 640.5, 191*.5);
	CGRect frame = sendingLabel.frame;
	frame.origin.y = -30 - frame.size.height;
	[sendingLabel setFrame:frame];

	for (id subview in self.view.subviews) {
