Read a podcast mp3 file and print a list of its chapter marks. Useful if your podcast client of choice doesn't yet support chapter marks

An incomplete collection of ugly sqlite commands to export metadata from a Lightroom catalog. You can export Lightroom keywords, color labels, collections and more depending on your sqlite skills. Only tested with a Lightroom 2 catalog! (Note that this is not a complete script but rather a collection of commands that may need to be modified to run)
sqlite3 backup-catalog.lrcat
.output export.txt
-- get all keywords with their id
SELECT id_local, name FROM AgLibraryKeyword;
-- get list of all files with keyword id 88890
SELECT stackParent_fileName, stackParent____colorLabels, rating FROM Adobe_images AS a JOIN AgLibraryKeywordImage AS b WHERE b.tag=88890 AND a.id_local=b.image;
-- get list of all files for keyword Bob

A small script to make recording http live streams (HLS, those streams that work on iOS devices) nicer on a Mac. Script records the stream for a defined period of time and sends the user notifications if anything goes wrong and once it's done.
# required: ffmpeg (e.g. from homebrew), terminal-notifier from https://github.com/alloy/terminal-notifier
# you can schedule this with launchd to run e.g. weekly
# Specify in seconds how long the script should record (default here is 1 hour).
seconds=3600
# Date format for the recording file name
DATE=`date "+%d-%m-%y_%H-%M"`
# start ffmpeg recording

Wunderlist 2 drops the email and print export features and also creates a new database. It's still a sqlite database that you can look at with something like http://sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net/. You can export data by running commands like the example below (make a local copy of the database to your desktop before if you're not familiar with s…
