Generate background office noise using Digg feeds and OSX.

Instead of having someone else read you the Digg headlines, Have OSX do it. Requires Curl+Sed+Say. This could probably be easily modified to use espeak for Linux.

Open windows executable, file, or folder from cygwin terminal

This executes faster than

cygstart.exe

I put this in a script and added it to my path:

cat `which explore.sh`

#!/bin/bash

if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then

explorer.exe $( cygpath `pwd` -w ) &

else

explorer.exe $( cygpath $1 -w ) &

fi;

Using the script you just type

explore.sh file_or_executable

Note: you can do this for any file that has an associated executable in the windows registry. This is quite handy if you want to open pictures or movies from xterm.

To retrieve a normal prompt

If you have tried to change your prompt and made a mistake, use this command to retrieve a standard prompt.

If you used the export command when you changed your prompt, also use it there:

export PS1='$PWD$ '

Resample MP3's to 44.1kHz

This heavy one liner gets all the files in the "/music/dir/" directory and filters for non 44.1 mp3 files. After doing this it passes the names to sox in-order to re-sample those files. The original files are left just in case.

Blinking, Color Highlighted search for input/output and files, like grep --color
hb(){ sed "s/\($*\)/`tput setaf 2;tput setab 0;tput blink`\1`tput sgr0`/gI"; }

hb blinks, hc does a reverse color with background.. both very nice.

hc(){ sed "s/\($*\)/`tput setaf 0;tput setab 6`\1`tput sgr0`/gI"; }

Run this:

command ps -Hacl -F S -A f | hc ".*$PPID.*" | hb ".*$$.*"

Your welcome ;)
