Refresh POP Accounts in GMail using Keyboard Maestro

Ahoy Mac fans! One really great tool for automating repetitive tasks on my computer is Keyboard Mastro. I normally use it to automate inputting text (things like email signatures and addresses) but today I dug a bit deeper and in an effort to automate the tedious task of clicking on a series of links that I have to click each time that I want to fetch new POP email from my external accounts.

Before you dive in note that this will only work if you configure Safari to allow remote automation.

1. Action: Select Safari Tab

Set value Select tab to 1

Bootstrap 5

Notes

This is very incomplete.

Alerts

add class="fade" to alert components to give them a sleek fade effect while dismissing the alert box

Thomas Learns Python (and Git)

Hey Thomas, click here to jump to the current lesson

Goals

Configure your Development Environment
Learn Git + setup a Github.com account (you will be checking in all of your Python code to Github so that you can share it with me (so I can help). Learning Git is a fundamental skill for the modern software developer!
Begin the 100 Days of Code for Python. You will complete one lesson for each weekend day, checking in your code to Github as you complete assignments.

	# click_button 'Open Login Window', which opens a popup

	find(:xpath, the_xpath).click

	#Run all tests for this project
	bundle exec rspec

	#run single test
	bundle exec rspec path/to/spec/file/thingie_spec.rb

	#Useful switches
	bundle exec rspec --format documentation (more output context)
	bundle exec rspec --order random (tests should be able to pass in any order)
	bundle exec rspec --profile (shows you slowest tests)
