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:

	import re
	from datetime import datetime as dt

	fake_dates = '10-Jan-2011, 01-Feb-02, ##-Bla-##, 01-Bla-2014'

	# you can probably do some lookahead assertion at the end of the regex to only capture 2 digits or the last 2 digits
	# instead of the mess below [1]
	date_finder = re.compile('(\d{2}-(?:Jan\|Feb\|Mar\|Apr\|May\|Jun\|Jul\|Aug\|Sep\|Oct\|Nov\|Dec)-\d{2,4})')
	dates = re.findall(date_finder, fake_dates)

	#!/usr/bin/env python
	# get/store flickr photos in a spreadsheet
	# you'll need a key: https://www.flickr.com/services/api/keys/apply/
	import csv
	import json
	import sys
	from base64 import encodestring as b64
	from urllib import urlencode, urlopen as get
	from optparse import OptionParser

	import re
	from sys import argv
	from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs
	from pyquery import PyQuery as pq
	from lxml import etree

	filename = argv[-1]
	anchors = re.compile('<a.+?>.+?<\/a>', re.DOTALL\|re.I)

	with open(filename, 'r') as infile:

	const MODULE_NAME = 'base-app/events/'

	export const CONNECT_WS = MODULE_NAME.concat('CONNECT_WS')
	export const DISCONNECT_WS = MODULE_NAME.concat('DISCONNECT_WS')
	export const SUBSCRIBE_WS = MODULE_NAME.concat('SUBSCRIBE_WS')
	export const UNSUBSCRIBE_WS = MODULE_NAME.concat('UNSUBSCRIBE_WS')
	export const EMIT_WS = MODULE_NAME.concat('EMIT_WS')

	export const NEW_EVENT = MODULE_NAME.concat('NEW_EVENT')
	export const ADD_EVENT = MODULE_NAME.concat('ADD_EVENT')

	#!/usr/bin/env python
	# -- coding: utf-8 --
	# scrape complex systems article pdfs
	# requires bs4: `pip install beautifulsoup4`
	import os
	import re
	import json
