Screencapture and animated gifs

I say "animated gif" but in reality I think it's irresponsible to be serving "real" GIF files to people now. You should be serving gfy's, gifv's, webm, mp4s, whatever. They're a fraction of the filesize making it easier for you to deliver high fidelity, full color animation very quickly, especially on bad mobile connections. (But I suppose if you're just doing this for small audiences (like bug reporting), then LICEcap is a good solution).

Capturing (Easy)

  1. Launch quicktime player
  2. do Screen recording

Automatically mount the EC2 ephermal SSDs as raid0 on Ubuntu

Launch your EC2 EBS instance with two SSDs on the second and third slots (after the root EBS volume), with this in your userdata:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

umount /dev/xvdb
umount /dev/xvdc
apt-get install mdadm -y
mkdir /u01

cat > /etc/init/mount-ephermal-ssd.conf <

Response to a dude who asked about heaven. https://github.com/holman/feedback/issues/422

@holman got a request about our deployment system, heaven

I know it's not a high priority, but has there been any activity on open-sourcing the core Heaven gem?

There is. I've been working on extracting the non-GitHub specific parts into two gems. This first is a CLI portion called hades. The second is an HTTP API portion called heaven.

When you open source something previously used as in internal tool like Heaven, Hubot, Boxen, etc., how do you manage and hook in the parts that need to stay internal?

Normally I focus around four questions:
