I love CiteULike. It makes keeping a bibtex library easy and keeps all my papers in one place. However, it can be a pain when I add new entries and have to go through the procedure for downloading the new version in my browser, so I made this to grab it for me! I actually pipe it directly into a couple of SED one liners to tidy it up a bit too. Extremely useful, especially if you make a custom BibTeX script that does this first. That way you can sort a fresh BibTeX file for each new paper with no faf. To use just replace with your CiteULike user name. It doesn't download entries that you've hidden but I don't use that feature anyway.
-1curl -o <bibliography> "http://www.citeulike.org/bibtex/user/<user>" -
-1ps -u<user>

Some of us have both Macs *and* Linux machines — so it makes sense to know how to run this command on the former in the event that a botched reinstallation renders the latter unbootable.
-1sudo curl -L -o /dev/disk4 https://some-distributor.org/some-distro.iso -
This adds all new files to SVN recursively. It doesn't work for files that have spaces in their name, but why would you create a file with a space in its name in the first place?
-1svn status | grep "^\?" | awk '{print $2}' | xargs svn add -
Similar.
-1dd if=/dev/hda of=file.img -
-1svn log | grep "$LOGNAME" | grep `date '+%Y-%m-%d'`
-
Change the number to change the number of spaces. Leaving it out defaults to 8. Leaving out the filename defaults to stdin. And to do it in reverse, you can use the unexpand command.
