OCR on OS X with tesseract

Install ImageMagick for image conversion:

brew install imagemagick

Install tesseract for OCR:

brew install tesseract --all-languages

Or install without --all-languages and install them manually as needed.

var userName = "PatelNachiket";

console.log("Recent tweets from stream!");
$('#fetchButton').attr('disabled','true').val('loading...');

Plot distribution of image file sizes using ImageMagick 'identify' command - default output. 1. Reorganize the 'identify' output into a sorted .csv file. 2. Look for and remove broken images, regenerate .csv file with clean image set. 3. Plot histogram of image size distribution with R.
# image_identify.txt is a file with the default output from ImageMagick 'identify'
# run over a set of JPG files locally,
# or the equivalent Manta MapReduce 'identify' output from the previous Gist.
$ identify *.jpg > image_identify.txt
$ head -5 image_identify.txt

Using PyObjC and NSWorkspace to set the desktop picture. I am such a hypocrite!

'''Uses Cocoa classes via PyObjC to set a random desktop picture on all screens.

(* Script to record and tag spotify tracks, by Lloyd Moore *)
(* Modified by Tiffany G. Wilson to resolve audio splitting issues, automate starting/stopping, and add recording customization *)
(* Snippets for controlling Spotify are from Johnny B on tumblr (http://johnnyb.tumblr.com/post/25716608379/spotify-offline-playlist) *)
(* The idea of using delayed tagging/filename updating is from a guest user on pastebin (http://pastebin.com/rHqY0qg9) *)
(* The only thing to change in the script is the output format; you must change the file extension and the recording format to match *)
(* Run this script once a song you want to record is queued (stopped at beginning) or playing *)
(* Running the script will initiate hijacking, recording and audio playback *)
(* To stop script, pause Spotify or wait for album/playlist to end*)
(* To set id3 tags, use application Kid3 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/kid3/) and copy '%{artist} - %{album} - %{track} - %{title}' from file name to Tag 2 *)
# If you open your Ressource monitoring under OSX, you'll see that the
# Process "Spotify Helper" is eating between 20% and 30% of CPU constantly
# It means that when you're on battery, it'll drain it faster.
# To prevent the Spotify Helper (which are basically ads for spotify) from spawning process,
# you should disable access to the app doing this (close Spotify first) :
sudo chmod 000 "/Applications/Spotify.app/Contents/Frameworks/Spotify Helper EH.app"
sudo chmod -N "/Applications/Spotify.app/Contents/Frameworks/Spotify Helper EH.app"
