A small script to make recording http live streams (HLS, those streams that work on iOS devices) nicer on a Mac. Script records the stream for a defined period of time and sends the user notifications if anything goes wrong and once it's done.
# required: ffmpeg (e.g. from homebrew), terminal-notifier from https://github.com/alloy/terminal-notifier
# you can schedule this with launchd to run e.g. weekly
# Specify in seconds how long the script should record (default here is 1 hour).
seconds=3600
# Date format for the recording file name
DATE=`date "+%d-%m-%y_%H-%M"`
# start ffmpeg recording

A new user's guide to SublimeText 2. Estimated reading time: 2 mins. Estimated workthrough time: 12 minutes.

Make it useful

  • Install Package Control. For SublimeText 2, paste the following in Terminal:
import urllib2,os; pf='Package Control.sublime-package'; ipp = sublime.installed_packages_path(); os.makedirs( ipp ) if not os.path.exists(ipp) else None; urllib2.install_opener( urllib2.build_opener( urllib2.ProxyHandler( ))); open( os.path.join( ipp, pf), 'wb' ).write( urllib2.urlopen( 'http://sublime.wbond.net/' +pf.replace( ' ','%20' )).read()); print( 'Please restart Sublime Text to finish installation')

From here on out, use Package Control to install everything. +Shift+P, then type Install to get a list of installable packages you can 'livesearch through. After installing plugins, they should be running.

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style
