nondescript (adj.) - "lacking distinctive or interesting features or characteristics"
A collection of some scripts I wrote. Most of these are pretty simple and straightforward, mostly written for fun or to implement a basic feature. This work is provided "as is", so feel free to use any part of these.
-
timer - a countdown timer that pops up a notification message of your choice when time's up, and plays a Ubuntu notification sound (might need to install the sox package).
-
pickforme - feed it a list of several shows or movies that you're stuck on choosing between, and let it "calculate" and "analyze" which show you should watch.
-
weather - grabs the current temperature and weather conditions in La Jolla, CA. Perhaps this will incorporate your location in the future. Also spits out the current battery level as a percentage (why would anyone do this? good question).
-
jackd - automatically mutes the system audio when it detects that the headphone jack has been unplugged, intended to be run as a background process on system startup. Tested using Ubuntu 14.04.
Fun fact: nonde (飲んで) means "drinking" in Japanese!
