a backup script i keep on my flash drive. when i wanna backup my files i just run the script and it copies the folders i want to back up

A few years back, I made a python program that searched free-for-commercial-use Google Images and auto-adjusted them to fit Amazon Merch shirts and uploaded them to Amazon. This was, of course, a violation of their terms of service.

I have a python script that I run on my phone to scrape a few websites and return the current food trucks at my few local breweries with the times they’re there. It makes our once/twice a week dinner selections so much easier than having to manually visit 4 websites. Some sites have been updated, and I haven’t updated my script and I need to.

me and a few friends have a dumb chatbot we’ve been fiddling with for 15 years. started out on irc, moved platforms multiple times, and i’m currently porting it to matrix. it can do poetry, markov chains, tell you when the weekend starts, pull youtube videos, create email aliases, etc.

I wrote a powershell script to rename and reorder about 1000 comic books based off a reading order I put in a csv file once

My most used one is a two letter terminal alias (zz for zigzag) that copies all the track information from a specified playlist, or from my “download" playlist if none is provided. It can also read from CSV and text files in order to remove all special characters and repeated words from each name. Then it outputs a formatted version to my clipboard, which I then paste into another program’s config file. Then I wait…

I have a lot of comic book boxes:

I created a script that lets me query the database to return the box numbers for certain content.

I can search by writer, artist, title, character, notes, even down to issue number.

What I’d LIKE to do is hook it into a voice recognition system and smart lights and get it to light up the boxes “Wheel of Fortune” style. But I’m aways off that yet.

i wrote a simple program to wiggle my mouse

you can guess why

it was a rip off from a coworker’s program

I mostly write utilities/tools like this. Some examples from my ~/bin/ folder:

• A script that turns caps lock off and numlock on, and remaps caps lock to compose. I have this run by cron every minute.
• A script that saves the current buffer of my continously running screen recorder to a file. Bound to the Lenovo coilot key.
• A half-finished script that downloads and installs the latest version of discord, as Discord and ants me to manually upgrade it every time I start it.

Edit: OH, and on my work laptop I have a script named Fnkeyfuckery. The keyboard layout is annoying in that I have to choose between Function keys or have Home+End.
I want my function keys AND I want home+end. Luckily I don’t need F11 and F12 very often, so I’swapped around those two with their alternate function. That way I have F1 through F10, Home and End by default, and if I hold Fn I can have F11 and F12 too. It runs on startup.
