gist embed

I just noticed that you can embed gists by pasting the url to the gist into the post editor on a line of its own. This uses the shortcode module of the Jetpack plugin so you need to Active the plugin and then the shortcode module.

this example is an applescript that creates auto-complete gifs for google searches. Not something many folk would need.


–needs gifsicle http://www.lcdf.org/gifsicle/
— updated for retina screen
set thetext to text returned of (display dialog "What do you want to autocomplete?" default answer "I hate")
set theFileName to change_case_of(thetext, "lower") & ".gif"
set tempdir to POSIX path of (path to temporary items from user domain) & "autogifs/"
try
do shell script "mkdir " & tempdir
end try
set alphabet to {"a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z"}
set vowels to "aeiou"
tell application "Safari"
activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Safari"
click menu item "New Private Window" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
end tell
end tell
set bounds of window 1 to {0, 0, 800, 600}
set the URL of the front document to "http://google.co.uk"
delay 5
tell application "System Events"
keystroke thetext

repeat with letter in alphabet
set typing to " " & letter
set tfile to tempdir & letter & ".gif"
tell application "System Events"
keystroke typing

keystroke (ASCII character 8)
keystroke (ASCII character 8)

set the source_string to "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"

set x to the offset of thisChar in the comparison_string
if x is not 0 then
set the new_text to (the new_text & character x of the source_string) as string
else
set the new_text to (the new_text & thisChar) as string
end if
end repeat
return the new_text
