Text of the page (random words):
ble on that page i also have a bunch of javascript code on the hitchhiker s guide to the moon to calculate the moon s phase and libration scripts and small programs note this list is incomplete and out of date see my github scripts repository for the overly large collection tweet play bird songs how do you find out whether that bird you re hearing is a cassin s finch or a bushtit i bought the stokes field guide to western bird songs a 4 volume cd set i ripped the four cds to disk you can t have mine they re copyrighted and it s an excellent set so i heartily recommend buying a copy getting filenames like barn_owl ogg of course you can use mp3 or whatever format you like then wrote a python script tweet to play them pass an argument containing some part of the bird name you want to match for instance tweet mock will play the mockingbird while tweet spar will display a list of sparrows from which you can either choose by number or type another string e g hou to play the house sparrow s song image processing scripts i wrote a collection ofimage batch processing scripts which do things like rotate resize make thumbnails and collect images together into web pages these work especially well when combined with pho this is now in its own imagebatch repository html slide presentations a javascript framework for html presentations for using a browser such as firefox as a powerpoint replacement for slide presentations a javascript html framework for ignite talks preso a lightweight python webkit script to display html presentations fullscreen without the overhead of a full browser eggtimer python tkintr is a little egg timer countdown application run eggtimer 15 your cornbread is ready and 15 minutes later it will pop up a huge red window showing your message any key or a mouse click will dismiss the window sounds like a toy i know but i find that i use it all the time and i keep tweaking it to be more useful i also have a different version eggtimer gui where you can set the time with a slider written for my linux planet article gui programming in python for beginners create a timer in 30 minutes pyblosxom plug ins and helper scripts i use pyblosxom for my blog and i ve written a few pyblosxom plug ins and helper scripts to make that easier assorted small scripts bdump long ago before linux even existed unix had a nifty program called od octal dump for viewing binary files you could say for instance od xc and it would dump the file as hexidecimal and characters and it would line up the two lines so you could follow the file from printable characters to unprintable ones unfortunately the gnu folk got hold of od and in their wisdom changed it so that the bytes no longer line up so you can follow the hex or the characters or the octal or whatever but heaven help you if you want to relate two or more of them there s a program called xxd part of vim that does a slightly better job but it isn t really as nice as i want either and it s such an easy thing to write so i did in python bdump c x and d indicate character hex and decimal does anyone ever want octal any more default is all three langgrep python is a little hack that helps me figure out how to do things in various scripting languages by grepping in only files of a specified language so if i can t remember how to use find to search within a string in python i can say langgrep python w find bin or usr bin if i don t have a lot of python programs in my own bin trivial but very useful i d wanted something like that for years pathmatch python searches for patterns in your path the which command can search for complete strings but you need pathmatch if you ve ever wondered what volume control programs do i have it s probably called something mix or something volume something just type pathmatch mix volume and see the answer randomline python chooses and prints one random line from whatever it s given as input you can use it for all sorts of things like printing a random quote from a file but i use it to set a random wallpaper on my desktop like this xsetbg fullscreen border black find home backgrounds randomline killtips kill any errant tooltips that buggy programs have left visible i had a problem with certain programs leaving tooltips on my display that wouldn t go away so i wrote a python xlib script that can close any currently open tooltip or similar override redirect window in x killtips dotback backs up my important configuration files dotfiles to a tar file without getting lost in backing up voluminous crap like the firefox cache you do have to spend some time making a list of what files and directories you care about miscellaneous fiddling neighbor the april 2002 atlantic had an interesting article called seeing around corners describing population dynamics in terms of cellular automaton rules trying to explain why neighborhoods tend to become segregated by race or other factors it was a fascinating article but i questioned it and decided to whip up my own simulation my results did not match those of the authors in fact i found much less tendency toward segregation than they did my simple ca simulation written in c displaying in xlib is here neighbor tar gz it s written as a framework that makes it easy to write new apps for other 2 dimensional ca rules and as an example it includes a bare bones implementation of conway s game of life animatch i had a bunch of handheld photos which i wanted to stitch together into a short animation of course the rotations and positions didn t all match i looked for a program that could help and couldn t find one so i wrote one run animatch on a list of files from a terminal window you ll need to save the output later you need to choose two control points in the image which will be fixed from shot to shot as animatch shows you each image click on the left control point then the right one when you ve chosen the right control point on the last image animatch will spit out a long list of image magick commands for rotating and translating each image save these commands to a file edit as necessary back up all your images then run the script animatch is very rough it s a one off i wrote in a day and it lacks documentation and polish it would be better done as a gimp tool use at your own risk but by all means let me know if you re using it and hit bugs or have a feature you d really like animatch tgz bookmarklets and other browser stuff see my two linux planet articles simple bookmarklets the power of the command line in your browser and roll your own custom bookmarklets in firefox part 2 javascript bookmarklets for a description of how to use my count words bookmarklet see the linux planet tip quick firefox tip word count bookmarklet see also kitfox in the next patches section patches to other software xbrightness i didn t write xbrightness but i found it very useful for adjusting brightness on a monitor that doesn t have hardware brightness controls particularly with some updates mikael magnusson made then some other changes i added later they re all described in this blog posting software brightness control in x11 i never heard back from the xbrightness author so i m making it available here xbrightness mika akk by the way if you grabbed an earlier version back when i first posted the blog entry now it clips at the top and bottom of the range rather than wrapping around i haven t updated the version kitfox this is long obsolete a collection of assorted patches i make to mozilla firefox locally to make it work more like the old lamented mozilla suite the patches are against a full firefox development tree but might be useful to binary users who want to change specific javascript or menu files xchat don t hard wire key bindings xchat drives me crazy it has a key binding dialog but a lot of its key bindings aren t settable through the dialog and are compiled in and can t be un done in particular for people who like to use emacs readline bindings to edit text you can t even though xchat sees your gtk key theme because ctrl f is hardwired in the c code to pop up a find window whether you want one or not there are several other hardwired key bindings i change like the ctrl i i keep hitting accidentally that detaches the current tab and then i have to reattach it and go hunting for the magic keybinding to move the tab back to its normal position anyway i ve been building my own xchat for years and here s the current patch i apply to it xchat 2 8 6 diff exmap make it build i wanted to try exmap for showing memory use on my system but it totally failed to build and the patch in ubuntu bug 284863 wasn t enough i had to fix quite a few other things and also install libpcre3 dev libpcrecpp0 and libgtkmm 2 4 dev libgtkmm 2 4 1c2a here s my patch exmap 0 10 patch for ubuntu jaunty and kernel 2 6 30 4 obsolete scripts these are no longer useful or maintained but included for historical purposes vol python gtk is a fast and simple volume control app written in pygtk the normal gtk volume control program changes its name seemingly monthly is it gnome volume control gtkmix gtkmixer gnome mixer or what and in any case it s slow to start up and creates a rather large window all i need is a single slider for master volume something which starts up quickly enough that i don t miss too much of the beginnings of audio or video clips but that didn t seem to exist except as panel applets for specific window managers vol calls the command line program aumix under the hood which means that you need the commandline version of aumix and not the program of the same name which actually has a gtk interface sigh maven i raphene has taken this script and extended and improved it in various useful ways siv or if you don t even want anything as elaborate as vol you can use louder and make a link named quieter to the same script then bind that to keys in your window manager to have volume control from the keyboard pyruler python gtk is a quickie pixel ruler for measuring pixel distances on the screen helpful when developing web pages or gui apps by default it s a horizontal ruler but typing v will make it vertical h will make it horizontal again uses pygtk boondoc python searches for documentation related to a particular program it looks for man pages info readmes and other usr share doc files and anything else it thinks might be documentation written at request of a friend eg perl is a little perl script i wrote to simplify figuring things out from man pages lots of man pages have hundreds of lines of theory and background when really all you want is a simple example of how to run the program so eg looks at man pages and gives you only the examples section if there is one maybeshutdown sh zenity is a trivial little script to let you shut down the computer from gnome panel or any other panel or menu that doesn t offer its own shutdown option it s easy enough to call shutdown directly but since it s easy to hit a panel button by mistake the script gives you a confirmation dialog put maybeshutdown somewhere in your path adjust it for your own system shutdown vs halt vs poweroff and remove the sudo if you ve made the shutdown program setuid then make a new panel launcher which calls maybeshutdown and has an icon you won t mistake for anything else i used the warning triangle icon and you re all set twitref lets you search twitter for a pattern for instance yourname to see any references or replies to you for instance you could run it from cron and mail yourself the output parsexml is a demo of how to use python s xml etree elementtree class to parse a large xml file without reading it all into memory use this if you need to process a large xml file for instance splitting it contextually i wrote it in order to extract geographically smaller regions from a huge usgs kml file of geologic data i ll make that script available when it s finished wifi picker python gtk is a very simple wireless network chooser it lets you define essid and or key for your usual networks or you can type in an essid and or key if you re somewhere new comments at the beginning of the script explain how to set up your known networks it calls iwconfig eth0 so run it as someone who has permission to do that unfortunately iwconfig seems not to work very well for setting essid on ubuntu so i haven t actually used this very much lsconfig sh is a shell script which lists services available in this runlevel essentially what chkconfig list does on redhat systems talksplit sh is a script in sh which takes a long mp3 file and splits it into a collection of 5 minute segments why because i like to listen to podcasts and the mp3 player i had once upon a time could remember which file it was playing but not where it was in the file with talksplit at least i end up within five minutes of where i left off listening last time talksplit tries to do sensible things with id3 tags it uses splitmp3 to do the actual splitting and id3tool to handle the id3 tags these days i use an android program to listen to podcasts so this script is obsolete netscheme switch among several different network schemes netscheme is a fast comand line way of switching among network schemes in places you visit a lot i find it faster to type netscheme home or netscheme work than to fiddle with networkmanager type menus it s built around a useful python networking library called netutils py that offers python wrappers for finding active network interfaces bringing interfaces up and down getting lists of essids associating with an accesspoint etc webclient for android for years it was ridiculously difficult to take a standalone web app html javascript and css and run it as a standalone app on android webclient was a little app that lets you collect a bunch of local web files and run them on android from a home screen icon now in 2017 you can make a progressive web app to accomplish that purpose much more easily though there doesn t seem to be any way to keep a progressive web app entirely offline so you can use it without paying data charges which is possible with webclient twit twitter clients i didn t like the options on linux so i wrote a couple of lightweight twitter clients in python completely unrelated to the tweet birdsong script which was named long before twitter existed friendlier shell bash errors a new project shellerrs a little bash script shell learners can add to bashrc to get friendlier errors that give you a better idea what might be wrong see the article i wrote explaining it in linux planet friendlier shell errors or the earlier blog post friendlier error messages for shell newbies flashcard python flash card self teaching program i wrote flashcard to help myself learn vocabulary words for a spanish class it s a tiny little program but it s pretty useful for the same spanish class since i don t know how to type accented characters i wrote a little python script called escribo that provides buttons for all the common spanish special ch...
