An idea for the future...

I want to work on developing a webapp music player that integrates MusicBrainz services. The webapp should play local files with MusicBrainz meta-data.

List files in FTP and Download/Unzip it

curl ftp://ftp.aoml.noaa.gov/phod/pub/IES_FTP/abaco/ > temp.txt


for each in `cat temp.txt | awk '{print $9}'`; do wget ftp://ftp.aoml.noaa.gov/phod/pub/IES_FTP/abaco/$each && unzip $each; done;

Exporting path...

I always seem to forget this line...

I currently have this in .bashrc, but it may not be the best place to put it.

export PATH=$PATH:/new/path/to/add:/other/new/path

Renaming file numbers

This little script will rename badly named files into nice 3 digit numbers.

For example, if you have files, 1,2,3,...10,11,12, it will rename the files into 01, 02, 03, etc.

#!/bin/bash
echo $1;
mkdir $1/output

for each in `ls $1`
do
filename=$(echo $each | cut -f1 -d '.' | tr -d '[[:digit:]]')
extension=$(echo $each | cut -f2 -d'.')
number=$(echo $each | tr -cd '[[:digit:]]')
echo $number;
cp $1/$each $1/output/$filename`printf "%03d" $((10#$number))`.$extension
done

I Wish There Was....

I am not one to stand out or break out from the norm, but I have an idea that I think has a lot of potential.

I think that there should be a new playlist format that explicitly uses Musicbrainz Ids... or at least a music player which allows users to see the MBID....

Script to connect to HunterNet

The connection to my university wifi is terrible and requires authentication. I have written a small script here which allows me to connect to the internet without a browser. 


#!/bin/bash


IP=$(ip addr show wlan0 | grep inet | head -n1 | cut -f6 -d ' '| cut -f1 -d '/')
MAC=$(ip addr show wlan0 | grep link | head -n1 | cut -f6 -d ' ')


echo $IP;
echo $MAC;
echo `curl -d "user=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD" https://securelogin.arubanetworks.com/cgi-bin/login?cmd=login&mac=$MAC&ip=$IP`


echo "CONNECTED!"

Organizing a few links...

I am beginning an android project and I just wanted a place to organize a few links.


Maven Archetype
https://github.com/akquinet/android-archetypes/wiki/android-with-test-archetype

Maven Plugin
http://code.google.com/p/maven-android-plugin/

Android SDK
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

To download the correct version, run the 'android' application. You can choose which version to install from there.

Export ANDROID_HOME in your .bash_profile



Sighs.. this is looking like it will be more complicated than ever!
