Unfortunately it was -designed as a 'bookmarklet,' meaning that one must rely on external -servers for its operation, with the speed, connectivity and privacy -implications which that entails. I lightly reworked the code to remove -some unnecessary functionality and ensure it can be easily used -locally. - -I also created a simple companion script which removes all links from a -page. I currently use these in [uzbl](http://www.uzbl.org), with the -command: `chain 'script @scripts_dir/readability/js/readability.js' -'script @scripts_dir/remove-links.js'` - -[Democracy Now! fetcher](fetchdnow.sh) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -The wonderful news programme -[Democracy Now!](http://www.democracynow.org) provide FLAC, Ogg Vorbis -and MP3 files of all of their episodes, but only a RSS feed for the -MP3s. This script downloads the latest episode, in FLAC, Ogg Vorbis -or MP3 format. I use this from a cron job to automatically fetch new -episodes in my prefered format. - -[LWN fetcher](getlwn.py) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -The online publication [LWN](http://lwn.net/) provides excellent news -on free software each week. However to access the latest issue one -needs to log in to a subscriber account. This script just automates -the login and download of the latest issue. - -[Encrypt email if possible](encrypt-if-possible.sh) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -One feature I really wanted with the [mutt](http://www.mutt.org/) mail -reader was to automatically encrypt email to anyone I have an OpenPGP -public key for. This simple script accomplishes just that, and can be -easily included in any mutt configuration. - -[Gather flagged email](gatherflaggedmail.sh) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -I store my email in Maildir format, in a variety of folders, and read -it using the mutt mail reader. This setup worked well for me, except -that there was no way for me to easily see all flagged messages in any -folder. This script enables this, by creating a dynamic folder with -links to all flagged email. - -[File non-personal email](filenonpersonalmail.rc) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -I find it useful to keep personal email separate from everything else I -receive. This is a simple procmail rule which moves email from anyone -not in my personal -[alias](http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-3.html#ss3.2) -file into a different folder. This could be done more neatly with awk, -but it has always worked perfectly so I'm leaving it be. - -[osCommerce Easy SEO URLs](http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/5901) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -osCommerce doesn't have a robust plugin system, so it's particularly -important to me that any modifications I make to osCommerce -installations are as simple and maintainable as possible. I found this -contribution to rewrite urls, which nearly did what I needed. I fixed -some serious bugs, added a few little features, and generally made it -a little more robust. I am currently maintaining the releases, and -(time-permitting) handling bug and feature requests. |
