I am frequently running ./manage.py runserver SOME_IP:8000 , so I can run django dev on my local IP address, so it can be accessed by other computers on the network for testing. Here's a shell script to automate the steps it takes to do that:


#!/bin/bash

# virtualenv
source bin/activate

# get the local IP
IP=`ifconfig | grep 'inet addr:'| grep -v '127.0.0.1' | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print $1}'`;

# write the IP for use in settings module
echo "IP='$IP'" > local_settings_ip.py

# launch window in firefox ( will need to refresh )
firefox http://$IP:8000

replace string1 with string2, recursively:

Run this in a directory of .NEF files to
* create a directory "mkdir bw-jpg-greyscale-lightness"
* convert each image to black and white with auto exposure, colors, white-balence, etc.
* save each image as a JPG to the "mkdir bw-jpg-greyscale-lightness" directory

OK, this is really simple, but I'm always forgetting the exact syntax, and man pages are overkill for this.

Tar a directory "dir" into a gzip'd tarball:

And extract it:

This will globally find and replace all instances of "find" with "replace"

I'm attaching the shell script I used to do this...Slightly modified from other variations online. Obviously don't run this without understanding it- it will remove your existing php packages

Then if you need to install any additional php packages, just install them with ( notice the -t karmic option )

Here's a quickie to do a recursive grep, ignoring SVN files:

Why bother to download, unzip, and stick in your modules dir?

Just cd sites/all/modules and do this:

OR - if you're feeling really slick - use drush, then just run php-cli path/to/drush/drush.php pm install module_name

HOWTO Recursively remove all svn directories from a directory... yay I love shell scripting. BE CAREFUL WITH THIS!!
