I have two user accounts set up on my mac. User drew I use for most things, but if I'm making a screencast I'll switch to the demo user. I know that the demo user has a clean desktop, and the font size is larger than usual in my terminal and text editors, making everything a bit more legible when capturing the screen. When I record a screencast as the demo user, I save the file to /Users/Shared/screencasts. As I understand it, the /Users/Shared directory is supposed to be accessible to all user accounts on the mac. If I created and saved a screenflow document as the demo user, I should be able to read and write that file when logged in as user drew.

That was the theory, but it didn't always work out that well in practice. I would occasionally find that a directory was only writable by one user or the other. Perhaps I'd open a screenflow document as user drew and attempt to export the video to the same directory, only to find that the directory was owned by demo, meaning that I couldn't cr

require 'childprocess'

guard 'shell' do
  watch %r{^app/(.+)\.rb$} do |m|

    # Why this:
    # - spawn a child process to avoid locking Guard
    # - make sure that the child process has stdout and stdin otherwise it crashes
    # - bonus point: get REPL access in the simulator!

ConfKick

A community funded event sponsor

Description

ConfKick makes it possible for individuals to sponsor confernces and meetups focused, to begin with, on developer events.

A user can pledge an amount towards a conference/meetup/hackday as a token sponsorship, often a lot less than the price of a ticket to attend the event.

• All sessions are 30 minutes long
• There will be no Q/A (a.k.a: please hang out with the attendees at our awesome bar and hack with them on any questions that might come up)
• You must use our presenters computer
• There will be a presenter remote
• Your slides must be 1440x1080px

I know that not using your own computer can be painful but I will go length to install everything under the sun to make you feel as comfortable on that machine as possible.
