pavgup / twittercompetition.py

Created February 21, 2013 19:10

This is a simple tool that uses two twitter accounts to tweet to each other about something interesting. The data provided must meet certain characteristics (ask me if you have questions) and you need to fill in the appropriate key details, but it should work quite simply.

	import twitter
	import csv
	import string
	import time
	import random
	import sys

	pavan = twitter.Api(consumer_key='<REMOVED>',consumer_secret='<REMOVED>',access_token_key='<REMOVED>',access_token_secret='<REMOVED>')
	fark = twitter.Api(consumer_key='<REMOVED>',consumer_secret='<REMOVED>',access_token_key='<REMOVED>',access_token_secret='<REMOVED>')

pavgup / getMyPublicIP.py

	#!/usr/bin/python

	import urllib2
	import threading
	import re
	import Queue
	import sys


	# The fourth URL returns a 403 error which python dies on, so I wrap this grab_ip function with exception handling.

pavgup / PrintPOSTandGET.py

Created April 23, 2014 15:47

This stands up a python http server and receives both POST and GET requests and prints to the console the parameters and values it receives over HTTP. This runs on port 9000 and binds 0.0.0.0, so be careful about firewall settings when testing this.

	import BaseHTTPServer
	import urlparse

	class SimpleHandler(BaseHTTPServer.BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
	def do_GET(self):
	self.send_response(200)
	if "?" in self.path:
	for key,value in dict(urlparse.parse_qsl(self.path.split("?")[1], True)).items():
	print key + " = " + value

uber fast subversion exports with parallel

	svn ls 'https://svn.pavgup.io/svnroot' \| parallel svn export 'https://svn.pavgup.io/svnroot/'\{\}

	# Nothing clever here. Seeking adventure? Get yourself a couple more layers of the svnroot with more pipes. Definite overkill.

pavgup / net-image-size.sh

Created May 4, 2015 13:18

Before a magical image optimization pipeline kicks off (e.g., imagemin inside grunt/gulp) you'd probably want to know what the size of all your images are. Here's a quick one-liner that grabs a filetype for every file inside your current directory and then awks out the files that *nix is considering an image before finally handing off the file s…

pavgup / backup-all-images.sh

Created May 4, 2015 15:02

Find all images in a directory, create a backup subdirectory in the current directory, and then copy these images to the backup folder. Preparation for keeping track (poorly) of original files that are being optimized.

	#!/bin/sh

	mkdir backup; \
	for file in $(
	find . -exec \
	file {} \; \| \
	awk -F':' '{ if ($2 ~/[Ii]mage\|EPS/) print $1,"\n"}'\| \
	sed s/\.//);
	do
	cp -R -v .$file ./backup/

pavgup / overwrite-images-with-optimized-images.sh

Last active August 29, 2015 14:20

This is a wee bit dangerous when used in isolation. It will search for all files that *nix believes is an image and will then use imagemin (npm install -g imagemin if you need it) to begin optimizing assuming the defaults are worth trusting. This is not lossless. It does make a backup of each file inside the current working directory inside, con…

	for file in $(
	find . -exec \
