Using Homebrew to manage Node.js and io.js installs on OSX

Having both Node.js and io.js installed with NVM was giving me a load of problems, mainly with npm. So I uninstalled NVM and manage Node.js and io.js with homebrew.
Heres how.

Install Node.js and io.js

$ brew install node
$ brew install iojs

Getting to know Prelude

Certainly the best way to understand how Prelude enhances the default Emacs experience is to peruse Prelude's source code (which is obviously written in Emacs Lisp). Understanding the code is not necessary of course. Prelude includes a prelude-mode minor Emacs mode which collects some of the additional functionality added by Prelude. It also adds an additional keymap that binds many of those extensions to keybindings.

OS X Screencast to animated GIF

This gist shows how to create a GIF screencast using only free OS X tools: QuickTime, ffmpeg, and gifsicle.

Instructions

To capture the video (filesize: 19MB), using the free "QuickTime Player" application:

	function getRange() {
	var lower = getLowerClosest(10);
	var upper = getHigherClosest(10);
	return moment(lower).format('HH:mm:ss') + ' - ' + moment(upper).format('HH:mm:ss');
	}

	function getLowerClosest(mins) {
	var coeff = 1000 * 60 * mins;
	var date = new Date();
	return new Date(Math.floor(date.getTime() / coeff) * coeff);
