Update 2008/11/18: Use xargs 😛 Here’s a bash script that you can pipe output into and tell it to run a specific program with the output as arguments. I’ve named it open-with and placed it in my personal script directory: /home/steve/bin/.

Jump-to-Playing Rhythmbox Plugin TODO
I haven’t looked at the plugin for a while, but I’ve been meaning to reproduce my “todo” list for it that I wrote on the rb-dev list a while back. the gconf keys in gconf-editor say they have no schema.

GNOME 3.0 Ideas (Intelligent Desktop)

WordPress Upgrade Script
Even though the WordPress upgrade is easy, it’s troublesome. So I wrote a script to do it for me. Yep. There’s lots of these out there. And a lot of hosts (including mine) have a one-click install/update thing. But for some reason, I decided to write my own script. In python. Got to use a… Continue reading WordPress Upgrade Script

AttrDict Python Module
I’ve been doing quite a bit of Python hacking in my recent free time. A couple days ago, I had the desire for a dictionary that I could access key values just like object attribute names. For example, in the dictionary d={‘key’:’value’}, I wanted to be able to use d.key to return ‘value’. I thought… Continue reading AttrDict Python Module
Recent Geekiness
Hmmm… I’ve been pretty quiet on the blog front. Better write something. Show some sign of life. Well, officially 2 weeks of not being gainfully employed and I’ve been making pretty good use of the time, I think! (I know, you’d expect more blog posts from someone who has more time – I’m weird).
