Move all images in a directory into a directory hierarchy based on year, month and day based on exif information
This command would move the file "dir/image.jpg" with a "DateTimeOriginal" of "2005:10:12 16:05:56" to "2005/10/12/image.jpg". This is a literal example from the exiftool man page, very useful for classifying photo's. The possibilities are endless.

I always wanted to be able to copy formatted HTML, like from emails, on trello cards or READMEs... but the formatting is always wrong... But from this two links: * https://jeremywsherman.com/blog/2012/02/08/pasting-html-into-markdown/ * http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3261379/getting-html-source-or-rich-text-from-the-x-clipboard For instance, to to copy an formatted email to a trello card, just: 1. Select the email body 2. run: xclip -selection clipboard -o -t text/html | pandoc -f html -t markdown_github - | xclip -i -t text/plain 3. Paste in your trello card 4. Profit! 8-)
