My ~/bin/ files

Scripts I Wrote

• ashuffle - A script that will continuously enque songs for mpd.
• ddupe - A script that removes duplicate files based on sha1sums (uses dupes).
• dupes - A script that given a set of hashes and file names, will output duplicate files.
• dotmake - A script that generates a Makefile to link your dotfiles automatically.
• fat32-rename - A script that temporarily renames all the files (and directories) in a directory to fat32 compatible names and saves the mapping so it can be un-done later. I mostly use this one for syncing music to my phone which only supports sd cards that have fat32 file naming limitations.
• finish_album - Add the tracks from the currently playing song's album after the currently playing song.
• flac2mp3 - Simple script for converting a directory full of flac files into a directory full of mp3 files.
• fpost - My school's CMS Canvas has a pretty awful WYSIWYG editor. Since I post a lot of example source, I wrote this script which renders markdown files, inlines the CSS and then dumps the HTML to standard out for pasting into the bare-HTML input.
• htmlencode - Encode a given string into HTML encoded identities.
• inlinebody - Takes an HTML page on stdin, inlines the CSS and outputs the 'body' portion. Used with fpost.
• kick-wifi - Try to re-initialize the wifi-interface and then connect to the preferred service using connman.
• lf - A simple bash script that list files in a directory based on size.
• linkdf.sh - It's a simple script to symbolically link my dot files from a directory into ~. It could use some fixing up.
• mpcp - an extremely minimal music mpd interface using mpc
• mpc_trans - A bash script for transferring the state of one MPD instance to another mpd instance.
• mqueue - Adds a file to mpd, even if that file isn't in MPD's library. I had to patch mpd to get this to work. I think it had a faulty check.
• mshuffle_dir - Shuffle add music files in this directory and all sub-directories using ashuffle.
• music.py - It's an interface to all of the music players I was using at the time: Spotify (the linux version) and cmus. It provides a standard interface to do things like playing, pausing and getting information about playing tracks.
• music_bindings - It's the cli interface to music.py. I don't thing it's ever worked.
• nfsn-pingbot - A script I cron to update my ip address on NearlyFreeSpeach.net's DNS. It's there to provide dynamic DNS stuff.
• opml2feeds - Converts a .opml file of podcasts to yaml compatible with podcasts.
• pause-next - Bash script to pause MPD after the current song has finished playing.
• pdf2kindle - A python script that takes a pdf, converts it to a mobile-formatted pdf (using k2pdfopt) and then mails that PDF to your kindle email address so it get synced onto your kindle. I primarily use this for reading academic papers on my kindle. NOTE: The output pdf is formatted specifically for the kindle paperwhite. If you use it with a different model, you'll want to change the options supplied to k2pdfopt (see the convert function).
• pfile - Open the next file of a given name, if that file already exists, add an incrementing counter to the end.
• pick - output random lines from stdin, using probability!
• psearch - A script that greps your PATH for programs.
• remounte - One of my drives keeps disconnecting. So instead of fixing the problem I wrote a script to disconnect it and reconnect it.
• rip - A script that rips a CD using abcde. This script exists because I kept forgetting what options I wanted to specify.
• rnames - Generate random usernames for various services
• rundzen - Pipes status.py into dzen2 with some custom font options.
• shuff - Runs ashuffle with some common options.
• ssha - Reads a password and then generates a salted-sha1 hash of that password using a method acceptable to servers like nginx for use in auth_basic passwd files.
• status.py - A python script that writes various system information to stdout in dzen2's format for display. The top of it actually has a class for adding in arbitrary information. It's actually kinda cool.
• strip_audio - BASH script for removing audio from video track.
• sync_music - Sync my music library between my laptop and my desktop.
• sync_musicr - Sync my music library between my laptop and my remote server.
• sync_dap - Sync my music on to my DAP using a filter file generated by fpick.
• tn - A simple command to open a new not taking file.
• updatesums - Update a checksums file
• watcher - A script that runs some command when a file (or directory of files) updates by using inotify. Handy for doing things like re-compiling files.
• win-remote - A shortcut for connecting to my school's windows machines.

Scripts I Didn't Write

• dbox - It's a cli for drop box, I'm pretty sure it's official, but I don't remember.

• youtube-dl - The every video downloader.
• youtubedown - JWZ's better youtube downloader.
