Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

Using sketchtool to diff your .sketch files using text

Requirements

You need to have SketchTool installed somewhere in your path.

Setup

Add this in your ~/.gitconfig file (for some reason, it won't work in a local .gitconfig file):

Generate File System Trees in CSV Format with "tree" and "sed"

Description

I don't know whether this will be useful to anyone else, but I wanted to use the Linux tree command to generate file system trees in CSV format on OS X. This should work pretty much as is on Linux, although you may need or want to change the paths and optimize the usage of sed.

Dependency

This uses the Linux "tree" command, which is not standard on OS X.

Dong some learnin' about the osacompile command for using JS to write OS X apps/applets/automations etc. If you're on Yosemite (or greater):

• Download this here JavaScript file https://www.dropbox.com/s/r6bcw0xjykfqb8a/mycool.js?dl=0
• use yer handy terminal and run: osacompile -l JavaScript -s -o MyCool.app mycool.js
• That will create the "MyCool" App.
• Double click that dude and you should see a little mini app
