Zirak

xzf, XTRACT ZE FILES!, is a utility for file extraction, as you may have guessed. Inspired by xkcd and general boredom. Works on both python v2.7 and v3.3.

Usage:

$ python xzf.py file [extra_tar_flags]

Or, programatically:

Zirak

var fragger = {
	root : null,
	cur_root : null, //ungh, but I can't find a better place...
	last_index : null,

	new : function () {
		return Object.create( this );
	},

	init : function ( text ) {

Display block devices list:
$ lsblk

Mounting a user-writable fs:
# mount -o gid=users,fmask=113,dmask=002 /dev/sdx path

Zirak

#!/bin/bash
#a small script to automate installing from downloaded AUR tarballs

if [ ! -f $1 ]
then
    echo "File $1 does not exist" 1>&2
    exit
fi
base=$(basename -s '.tar.gz' $1) #meh

Postfix increment (i.e. n++) is usually explained as such:

• Tell me the value of n
• Increment the value of n

And prefix increment (++n):

• Increment the value of n
• Tell me the value of n

//this is a tiny helper method for making JSON Http Requests
//if you want a more comprehensive solution, write it yourself
//
//the callback function will receive two arguments: the response,
// parsed as JSON, and the xhr object used inside jhr, with an added
// responseJSON property (you can probably guess what it is)
//
//this always sends a POST request, and the data is always serialized to JSON
//
//returns the xhr object used

So, you want to send a motherfucking XMLHttpRequest (XHR, or commonly and falsly known as AJAX.) Too bad, just ran out of motherfucking XMLHttpRequests; but I still have one regular. XHR is not magic. It does not autofuckinmagically send things the way you want them do be sent. It does not do the thinking for you. It just sends an Http Request.

You get a hold on such a prime beast like this:

    You see the sun setting to your right (it's always to your right.) Beneath
the diminishing globe, the ocean, ending in the horizon; but you know it doesn't
really end. You're driving. Perhaps a car. A convertible? No, maybe a
motorcycle, or just a unicycle. I don't know. You're the one who's driving, you
should know how to do it. Is this a good beginning? To anything? Especially to a
javascript tutorial?

Quentin Tarantino taught me something. Not the singular version of something,
but the plural - he taught me somethings. In one of the greatest movie of all
times (PULP FICTION MOTHERFUCKER HAVE YOU SEEN IT?), Mia Wallace, noticing the
