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. diff --git a/software/scripts/remove-links.js b/software/scripts/remove-links.js new file mode 100644 index 0000000..1defd2b --- /dev/null +++ b/software/scripts/remove-links.js @@ -0,0 +1,31 @@ +/* + * Copyright 2009 Nick White + * + * Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); + * you may not use this file except in compliance with the License. + * You may obtain a copy of the License at + * + * http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 + * + * Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software + * distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS" BASIS, + * WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. + * See the License for the specific language governing permissions and + * limitations under the License. + * + * Use something like the following to use this in uzbl: + * script @scripts_dir/remove-links.js */ + +function removeNode(n){ + if(n.hasChildNodes()){ + for (var i=0; i 0) { + removeNode(a[a.length-1]); +} -- cgit v1.2.3
