Set random background image in gnome

Changes your desktop background image in gnome. Update the directory to wherever you keep your wallpapers. I like to create a sub-directory in my Wallpaper folder called "cycle" that I use to define the wallpapers I wish to loop in cron. ex: gconftool-2 -t str -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "$(find ~/Wallpapers/cycle -type f | shuf -n1)" Show Sample Output

XKCD "now" wallpaper (http://xkcd.com/now)

Get http://xkcd.com/now image, inverts colors (I prefer dark backgrounds) and set it as wallpaper. You can replace the "convert" part by "wget -q http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/now.png -O /tmp/now.png" if you prefer light backgrounds. The DISPLAY variable is here to work as a cron job.

What's this?

commandlinefu.com is the place to record those command-line gems that you return to again and again. That way others can gain from your CLI wisdom and you from theirs too. All commands can be commented on, discussed and voted up or down.

Hypnosis

rather don't depend on those sleepin'pills http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_sheep

Find usb device in realtime

Using this command you can track a moment when usb device was attached.

Write comments to your history.

A null operation with the name 'comment', allowing comments to be written to HISTFILE. Prepending '#' to a command will *not* write the command to the history file, although it will be available for the current session, thus '#' is not useful for keeping track of comments past the current session.

Search for a string inside all files in the current directory

options: -n line nbrs, -i ignore case, -s no "doesn't exist", -I ignore binary args: * for all files of current dir (not hidden), .[!.]* for all hidden files I don't include by default the -R (recursive) option, which is not always useful. You add it by hand when needed.

Convert CSV to JSON

Replace 'csv_file.csv' with your filename.

Random colours at random locations

Auto Get Missing Launchpad Keys

You can choose these mirror servers to get gpg keys, if the official one ever goes offline keyserver.ubuntu.com pool.sks-keyservers.net subkeys.pgp.net pgp.mit.edu keys.nayr.net keys.gnupg.net wwwkeys.en.pgp.net #(replace with your country code fr, en, de,etc)

history autocompletion with arrow keys

This will enable the possibility to navigate in the history of the command you type with the arrow keys, example "na" and the arrow will give all command starting by na in the history.You can add these lines to your .bashrc (without &&) to use that in your default terminal.

Search replace with Ansible style timestamps

$ ls httpd.conf httpd.conf.2015-07-22@14:43:20

exit without saving history

this exits bash without saving the history. unlike explicitly disabling the history in some way, this works anywhere, and it works if you decide *after* issuing the command you don't want logged, that you don't want it logged ... $$ ( or ${$} ) is the pid of the current bash instance this also works perfectly in shells that don't have $$ if you do something like $ kill -9 `readlink /proc/self`
