Wiring Notational Velocity to a Github Wiki

Copying my comment from the blog:

Instead of running a sync script every minute, you can just use filesystem events [1] notification to run your commit script every time a file is changed. I have used the ruby wrapper for it [2], but apparently there's a perl one as well [3].

Also, I'm told that the "modern" perl way to do this is AnyEvent:

Still backed by OS X's FSEvents, so you're not reinventing the wheel.

Ah, nice. I just mentioned the first perl fsevents google result, AnyEvent definitely looks nicer :)

Oh, interesting; I was looking for something like this but hadn't worked out what to search for. Will read up on it for sure.
