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:

Direct copy of pre-encoded file:

$ ffmpeg -i filename.mp4 -codec: copy -start_number 0 -hls_time 10 -hls_list_size 0 -f hls filename.m3u8

	# Sample configuration file for Unicorn (not Rack)
	worker_processes 1

	# listen on the sinatra port
	listen 4567


	# feel free to point this anywhere accessible on the filesystem
	pid "#{ENV['XDG_CACHE_HOME']}/unicorn.pid"
	stdout_path "#{ENV['XDG_CACHE_HOME']}/unicorn.log"

	# First do a fresh install of CentOS 5.7 i386, server configuration (no GUI)
	# This should be performed as root since it's going to be installing a bunch of stuff

	# --- Update things to make sure we have the latest patches ---
	# Add EPEL so we can get reasonably recent packages
	rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

	# --- Install all the packages --- #
	yum -y install python-whisper python-carbon graphite-web python-memcached python-ldap httpd memcached

	//GOOD NEWS, YOU CAN NOW OPEN POUCH SYNCRONOUSLY (god damn lack of spell checking in code pages)

	/*var db,
	cb = function(err,database){
	if(err){
	console.error("Bad Stuff happend");
	}else{
	console.log("good news!")
	db=database;
	}
