Gnome to Wine color scraper
This is a Python script to extract GNOME/GTK's color scheme and apply it to Wine, so that the themes (approximately) match.
Instructions:
1. Set your Gnome theme as you would like it
2. Run with a command like "python wine_colors_from_gtk.py"
3. Restart any apps running in Wine. They should match the Gnome theme colors now.

Unicode on Mac is insane. Mac OS X uses NFD while everything else uses NFC. This fixes that.

convmv manpage

Install convmv if you don't have it

sudo apt-get install convmv

Convert all files in a directory from NFD to NFC:

convmv -r -f utf8 -t utf8 --nfc --notest .

ducks: linux command for the 10 largest files in current directory
du -cks * | sort -rn | head -11
# Usually set this up in my bash profile as an alias:
# alias ducks='du -cks * | sort -rn | head -11'
# Because it is fun to type ducks on the command line. :)
