Scripts

Various scripts. Basically a copy of my ~/bin directory. Some may be useful, some are simply one-use scripts I wrote to solve a specific problem, and some are just for fun.

Useful

• mkv2gif.py ---converts a specified clip from an mkv file into an animated gif.
• mkv2webm.py ---converts a specified clip from an mkv file into a webm file with no audio.
• timer.py ---enter events, and how long they take, and it tells you when to set alarms so that they all end at the same time

Anime Management

• get_titles.py ---reads episode titles from the files in the current directory, and saves them in titles.txt
• link_anime.py ---creates hardlinks to all the files in the specified directory, while cleaning the filenames
• move_with_dest_names.py ---moves all contents from one directory to another, keeping the destination names.
• redirect_anime_symlinks ---a one-use script to quickly redirect links if my anime directory moves. Obselete now that they're all hardlinks
• set_titles.py ---reads episode titles from titles.txt, and applies them to the files in the current directory

Obscure

• backup ---superceded by backup.py
• backup.py ---Back up various drives to external HDDs
• progbar ---creates a nice progress bar from completion information
• updateImperialCalendar ---downloads an exchange calendar, converts it and uploads it to Google Calendar. Obsolete

Fun

• stripify.py ---given an mkv file, produces a bmp image of vertical stripes, where the colour of each stripe represents the mean colour at that point in time at the mkv file.

Easter Eggs

The shell is pretty much the least exciting text adventure ever. And what would a text adventure be without easter eggs?
