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.

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

Get Homebrew installed on your mac if you don't already have it

Install highlight. "brew install highlight". (This brings down Lua and Boost as well)

	# Install dependencies
	#
	# * checkinstall: package the .deb
	# * libpcre3, libpcre3-dev: required for HTTP rewrite module
	# * zlib1g zlib1g-dbg zlib1g-dev: required for HTTP gzip module
	apt-get install checkinstall libpcre3 libpcre3-dev zlib1g zlib1g-dbg zlib1g-dev && \

	mkdir -p ~/sources/ && \

	# Compile against OpenSSL to enable NPN

	// Support routines for automatically reporting user timing for common analytics platforms
	// Currently supports Google Analytics, Boomerang and SOASTA mPulse
	// In the case of boomerang, you will need to map the event names you want reported
	// to timer names (for mPulse these need to be custom0, custom1, etc) using a global variable:
	// rumMapping = {'aft': 'custom0'};
	(function() {
	var wtt = function(n, t, b) {
	t = Math.round(t);
	if (t >= 0 && t < 3600000) {
	// Google Analytics

	function onOpen() {
	var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
	var menuEntries = [ {name: "Run Query", functionName: "runQuery"} ];
	ss.addMenu("HTTP Archive + BigQuery", menuEntries);
	}

	function runQuery() {
	var projectNumber = 'httparchive';

	var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
