Check These Out

show the real times iso of epochs for a given column

When you have one of those (log)files that only has epoch for time (since no one will ever look at them as a date) this is a way to get the human readable date/time and do further inspection. Mostly perl-fu :-/

check open ports without netstat or lsof

renice by name

Stores the certificate expiration date on the variable A

Generate soothing noise

Substitute 'brown' with 'pink' or 'white' according to your taste. I put this on my headphones when I'm working in an "open concept" office, where there are always three to five conversations going in earshot, or if I'm working somewhere it is "rude" of me to tell a person to turn off their cubicle radio.

Analyze awk fields

Breaks down and numbers each line and it's fields. This is really useful when you are going to parse something with awk but aren't sure exactly where to start.

copy remote ssh session output to local clipboard

ssh from local to remote and pipe output of file to the local clipboard

Auto download Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with super fast zsync

Need to have rc iso pre-downloaded before running command.

list files recursively by size

Look for English words in /dev/urandom

* to get the English dictionary: wget http://www.mavi1.org/web_security/wordlists/webster-dictionary.txt
