Create an easy to pronounce shortened URL from CLI

Just add this function to your .zshrc / .bashrc, and by typing "shout *URL*" you get a randomly chosen English word that ShoutKey.com uses to short your URL. You may now go to shoutkey.com/*output_word* and get redirected. The URL will be valid for 5 minutes.

(I've never used sed before, so I'll be quite glad if someone could straighten up the sed commands and combine them (perhaps also removing the whitespace). If so, I'll update it right away ;) )

recursive find and replace. important stuff are grep -Z and zargs -0 which add zero byte after file name so sed can work even with file names with spaces.

delete all leading and trailing whitespace from each line in file

Sometimes those files have more than just spaces and tabs around them. Plus, this is just a little shorter.

Display a random man page

Great idea camocrazed. Another twist would be to display a different man page based on the day of the year. The following will continuously cycle through all man pages:

Display a random man page

Broaden your knowledge of the utilities available to you in no particular order whatsoever! Then use that knowledge to create more nifty one-liners that you can post here. =p

Takes a random number modulo the number of files in $dir, prints the filename corresponding to that number, and passes it as an argument to man.

Convert ascii string to hex

If you're going to use od, here's how to suppress the labels at the beginning. Also, it doesn't output the \x, hence the sed command at the end. Remove it for space separated hex values instead

Convert ascii string to hex

Same as another one I saw, just with a cleaner sed command

Edit: updated the sed command to use the [[:xdigit:]] character class - more portable between locales

Note that it will have a newline inserted after every 32 characters of input, due to the output of xxd
