Complete Google Drive File Picker example

Google Drive File Picker Example

This is an example of how to use the Google Drive file picker and Google Drive API to retrieve files from Google Drive using pure JavaScript. At the time of writing (14th July 2013), Google have good examples for using these two APIs separately, but no documentation on using them together.

Note that this is just sample code, designed to be concise to demonstrate the API. In a production environment, you should include more error handling.

See a demo at http://stuff.dan.cx/js/filepicker/google/

Command to create installable OS X USB drive.

Creating a bootable macOS USB installer

  • First, plug in an 8GB (or bigger) USB drive, and use Disk Utility to erase it
  • If you use the default settings, you should wind up with a blank drive at /Volumes/Untitled.

With that volume in place, and with the macOS installer sitting in /Applications/Install\ macOS\ [VERSION].app, run the following command in your terminal to create a bootable install media (for Sierra):

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app --nointeraction

My DefaultKeyBinding.dict for Mac OS X
/* ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.Dict
This file remaps the key bindings of a single user on Mac OS X 10.5 to more
closely match default behavior on Windows systems. This makes the Command key
behave like Windows Control key. To use Control instead of Command, either swap
Control and Command in Apple->System Preferences->Keyboard->Modifier Keys...
or replace @ with ^ in this file.
Here is a rough cheatsheet for syntax.
Key Modifiers

Another Twitter widget is rolling your way! This widget will scroll through the most recent tweets that mention the account associated with the keys! To get this widget up and running you only need to add your keys into this area of twitter.rb:

 config.consumer_key = 'YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY'
 config.consumer_secret = 'YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET_KEY'
 config.access_token = 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'
 config.access_token_secret = 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET'

Google Calendar API v3 widget for Dashing

Description

Dashing widget to display the next and some subsequent Google Calendar events using the Google Calendar API v3.

I use this widget to display my shift calendar - see the screenshot below

Set up

This widget works with API v3 and requires a service account to be set up via the Google Developer's Console. Once a project is set up, enable the Calendar API. On the Credentials page create a new OpenID and download the p12 key file - set up the path to this file in the job file and grant the email address access to the relevant calendar.
