macOS 10.12 Sierra Setup

macOS 10.12 Sierra Setup

Custom recipe to get macOS 10.12 Sierra running from scratch, setup applications and developer environment. This is very similar (and currently mostly the same) as my 10.11 El Capitan setup recipe and 10.10 Yosemite setup recipe. I am currently tweaking this for 10.12 Sierra and expect to refine this gist over the next few weeks.

I use this gist to keep track of the important software and steps required to have a functioning system after a semi-annual fresh install. I generally reinstall each computer from scratch every 6 months, and I do not perform upgrades between releases.

This keeps the system performing at top speeds, clean of trojans, spyware, and ensures that I maintain good organizational practices for my content and backups. I highly recommend this.

You are encouraged to fork this and modify it to your heart's content to match your o

This script looks for text files in a specific folder that include completed tasks ('@done') and timestamps, and then collects them into a daily log for the Day One journaling application. It works especially well when it's connected to IFTTT. See more details at http://craigeley.com/tagged/sifttter

# Based on tp-dailylog.rb by Brett Terpstra 2012 <http://brettterpstra.com>
# Multiple Date Function by Paul Hayes 2014 <http://paulrhayes.com>
#
# Notes:
# * Uses `mdfind` to locate a specific folder of IFTTT-generated text files changed in the last day
# * The location of your folder should be hardcoded in line 67, and the location of your Day One in line 66
# * Scans leading timestamps in each line matching the selected dates
# * Does not alter text files in any way

Create a bookmark and paste the code from `grab links.bookmarklet` into the url. Trigger it on a page containing links you want to save and then click the section of the page containing the links. A Markdown list of all links will be generated, and clicking the resulting list will select all for copying.

Grab all Pinboard.in bookmarks for your account, create a bookmark file for Launchbar indexing
#!/usr/bin/ruby
=begin
This script is designed to generate a simple html file with _all_ of your Pinboard.in bookmarks
The HTML file can be added to Launchbar's index as a custom bookmark file and you can search
your entire Pinboard.in collection instantly from Launchbar (by title only). It includes
any applied tags as part of the title to aid in searching.
This does no checking for deltas, it just grabs the whole bunch and overwrites the html file
every time. Don't run it too frequently.
