I recently started using FontAwesome 5's beautiful SVG icons. However I was unable to get them to work on my Leaflet.js markers using https://github.com/lvoogdt/Leaflet.awesome-markers

After a little poking around in the inspection window, I came up with this:

You need to give the extraClasses value in your marker definition (fas or fab or whatever, it's on the FontAwesome page for each icon)
The default layout is not great, but a little CSS fixes it right up. You'll want to constrain it to only these icons though, using some SASS nesting, or it will screw up all the other FA icons on your page

I hope somebody finds this useful

You need a client_id, but if you don't already have one you might be shit out of luck because 'register a new app' now presents you with a Google Form and the message ***Please allow up to a month to receive an update on the outcome of your application*** ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

gem install httparty
gem install soundcloud

Fill in the client_id and your username, then run it. It will only download tracks that you've already marked as downloadable because who has time to mess with Oauth?

I have a presentation built in Reveal.js but I was asked to provide my slides as screengrabs, so I came up with this. It's hacky as fuck, but it solves the problem in a repeatable way. (Note: this works on my computer, your mileage will almost certainly vary)

This presumes that your presentation lives at presentation/index.html (relative to where you're running all of this from) and is available at http://localhost:4000/presentation/ (i.e. via Jekyll). Then, from (possibly flaky) memory:

brew install selenium-server-standalone
brew install chromedriver
npm install nightwatch

Copy the Rakefile (or copy the contents of my one into your existing Rakefile), copy the *js files into _nightwatch/, then run
