Quick and dirty shell script for getting screenshots quickly taken and uploaded.

push.sh

#!/bin/bash
#
# Local push to own server
#
# Requires: 
# - remote webserver (best used w/userdirs)
# - local package "scrot"
# - local package "xclip"
# - local package "pngcrush"
# - iq > 20
# - linux
# - internet connection...unless you do it all via LAN. why would you do it all over LAN?  are you some kind of introverted, lonely, angsty sadist?
#
# If you want it hooked up to a hotkey, figure out how to do that in your distro of choice.
