Recursively set file or directory permissions. Make sure to leave spaces between brackets.
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \+
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \+

Replace matches in multiple files. I need to replace snippet with an Xargs version.
for file in $(find . -type f -name '*.php'); do sed s/OLD/NEW/g $file > ../temp/test.php; mv ../temp/test.php $file; done;

Create a development SSL certificate. Need to verify if this is the best way to do it or not, but for now just transferring my old Snipplr account.
#Create server key
openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 4096
#Remove password
openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.pem
#Create certificate
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
#Sign certificate

Quick and dirty script to import bookmarks into Evernote. Expected bookmarks file is in Delicious format. In my case, I needed to export Diigo bookmarks into Evernote.
from xml.sax.saxutils import escape
from datetime import datetime
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
headerXml = """<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE en-export SYSTEM "http://xml.evernote.com/pub/evernote-export3.dtd">
<en-export application="Evernote" version="Evernote Mac">"""
footerXml = "</en-export>"
