peterkappus / haml-sass builder
Created August 24, 2011 23:33
Haml/Sass builder script (great for Wordpress themes & other HTML-like templates)
require 'digest/md5'
=begin
About:
This script automatically runs on a 2-second loop, searches the current directory for haml & sass files that have been modified since the last iteration and builds them as needed into a file with the same name minus the .haml/sass extension. I wrote it so I could use Haml & Sass to develop Wordpress themes.
How-to:
1) Name your source files with the extension you'd like them to have, then add ".haml" or ".sass" as appropriate...
For example: index.php.haml and styles.css.sass

Quick start for using Capybara in IRB with Chromedriver
# copy and paste this into your terminal to start an IRB session and use Capybara's DSL to write tests interactively
# Thanks to Tom Clements
# http://tom-clements.com/blog/2012/02/25/capybara-on-the-command-line-live-browser-testing-from-irb/
# I prefer using chrome...
# First you need to install the chromedriver https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads
# Unzip, and move the executable somewhere in your path...
# e.g.
mv ~/Downloads/chromedriver /usr/local/bin

Fix those annoying "invalid byte sequence in UTF-8" errors when parsing CSVs, etc. Just strips out undef/invalid chars. Use with caution.
#Fix those annoying "invalid byte sequence in UTF-8" errors when parsing CSVs, etc.
#prints to STDOUT where you can redirect to a new file, etc.
#NOTE: this just strips out invalid/undef characters which may be a Very Bad Thing™ - YMMV
#suggestions welcome...
#also fix annoying newlin chars created by excel... replace \r with \r (weird but works)

Turn a multi-column CSV file into the nested "flare.json" structure required by D3 for a collapsible tree diagram like this: https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4339083
# What: Turn a multi-column CSV file into the nested "flare.json" structure required by D3 for a collapsible tree diagram like this: https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4339083
# I couldn't find a generic way to do this so I wrote this script. Help & comments welcome!
# How: Nested hashes group the data. Then a recurive function builds a new hash with the correct format for the JSON.
# Caveats: Currently supports up to 4 levels/columns of depth
# TODO: make it generically support n-levels
# Who: Peter Kappus (http://kapp.us)
# CSV Format:
# Create a CSV called "data.csv" with any headers you like. It might look like this:
# group_name, team_name, person_name

Easily convert an SVG file into the various files required to sell things on Society 6.

#requirements: rsvg-convert to rasterise the SVG and imagemagick to make the versions
file = ARGV[0] or abort ("No input file specified.")
big_width = 6500
