OS X ENV (re)Install

This is my personal guide to restore my configuration and setup my system for a fresh install. I use it and keep it updated frequently. Hope it will inspire you on your own way =].

Backup

Before a fresh reinstall, don't forget to backup many things. A regular ghost made with CarbonCopyCloner or Clonezilla is a good solution, but if you can't, you should save the following:

iOS
Android
Windows Phone 7
Windows Phone 8
Blackberry

iOS

Requirements

OS X
XCode

Converting a Word Document to Markdown in Two Moves

The Problem

A lot of important government documents are created and saved in Microsoft Word (*.docx). But Microsoft Word is a proprietary format, and it's not really useful for presenting documents on the web. So, I wanted to find a way to convert a .docx file into markdown.

The Solution

As it turns out, there are several open-source tools that allow for conversion between file types. Pandoc is one of them, and it's powerful. In fact, pandoc's website says "If you need to convert files from one markup format into another, pandoc is your swiss-army knife." But, although pandoc can convert from markdown into .docx, it doesn't work in the other direction.

	// Simulating infinite-length leading lookbehind in JavaScript. Uses XRegExp.
	// Captures within lookbehind are not included in match results. Lazy
	// repetition in lookbehind may lead to unexpected results.

	(function (XRegExp) {

	function prepareLb(lb) {
	// Allow mode modifier before lookbehind
	var parts = /^((?:\(\?[\w$]+\))?)\(\?<([=!])([\s\S]*)\)$/.exec(lb);
	return {

	using System;
	using limb = System.Int64;
