I created the following script which saves a few seconds of switching to a terminal and typing grunt on each change to my source files. [crayon-64cebbf0a2618924059853/] I can just leave this running in a terminal window and glance at the output to make sure there were no errors.
When I save a screenshot on my systems, it doesn’t try to automatically crush/minify the PNG. Here’s how on a Mac I’ve added a context menu item for images to crush them.

For one, the most recent version is alpha quality and stated for use on Mountain Lion since prior versions won’t work anymore on a newer system. But as of this writing, Mountain Lion was two major releases
Seil is a very cool utility for key re-mapping / enabling international keys on a Mac. I wanted to re-map the mostly useless Caps Lock key to Esc, which I use constantly in vi. If you’re a regular vi user, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Now I just have to develop the muscle
