Quick HTML image gallery from folder contents

Setting: You have a lot of jpg files in a directory. Maybe your public_html folder which is readable on the net because of Apache's mod_userdir. All those files from the current folder will be dropped into a file called gallery.html as image tags that can be viewed within a web browser locally or or over the Internet. Original: find . -iname "*.jpg" -exec echo "<img src=\"{}\">" >> gallery.html \;

find . -iname '*.jpg' -exec echo '<img src="{}">' \; > gallery.html

Quick HTML image gallery

My take on the original: even though I like the other's use of -exec echo, sed just feels more natural. This should also be slightly easier to improve. I expanded this into a script as an exercise, which took about 35 minutes (had to look up some docs): http://bitbucket.org/kniht/nonsense/src/7c1b46488dfc/commandlinefu/quick_image_gallery.py

MP3 player

I tried a few curses based mp3 players for playing back choir practice songs for my wife. Unfortunately none of the ones I tried were capable of scrubbing a track. Firefox saves the day.

duckduckgo search to w3m browser

Just feed classical duckduckgo request replacing the "!" for the bang by a "-" (ie. "ddg -gi mickey mouse") and the result will be opened in w3m (think of installing w3m-img for image support in xterm or tty) To put it in the .bashrc, remove the "\" that escapes the "!".

Convert seconds to [DD:][HH:]MM:SS

Converts any number of seconds into days, hours, minutes and seconds. sec2dhms() { declare -i SS="$1" D=$(( SS / 86400 )) H=$(( SS % 86400 / 3600 )) M=$(( SS % 3600 / 60 )) S=$(( SS % 60 )) [ "$D" -gt 0 ] && echo -n "${D}:" [ "$H" -gt 0 ] && printf "%02g:" "$H" printf "%02g:%02g\n" "$M" "$S" }

List all installed Debian packages

Should work on all systems that use dpkg and APT package management.

send substituted text to a command without echo, pipe

zsh only - This avoids the need for echo "message" | which creates an entire subshell. Also, the text you are most likely to edit is at the very end of the line, which, in my opinion, makes it slightly easier to edit.

Get the size of all the directories in current directory

Rename files in batch

list block devices

Shows all block devices in a tree with descruptions of what they are.

Extract your list of blocked images hosts from Firefox database

I use this to replicate my blocked images hosts list between work and home to keep my browsing ad-free.

Remove comments and empty lines from a conf file

Some conf file are very long (squid.conf) This command help to read it.

Look at your data as a greymap image.

Keep width to a power of 2 to see patterns emerge. 512 is good. So is 4096 for huge maps. PNM headers are super basic. http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/pbm.html

Remove all .svn folders

With the plus instead of semicolon, find builds the (eg.) rm command like xargs does - invokes as few extra processes as possible.
