Upgrade outdated brew casks. One liner, and the ”official” way to do it without using different hacks or scripts. However, it does not really replace some scripts out there, as in-app updates is not seen by Homebrew.
# Upgrade / Update outdated casks installed.
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Looks for outdated casks and installs the the latest version.
# User data (like application preferences) is intact.
# Updated one liner (thanks Henrik242)

brew upgrade $(brew outdated --cask --greedy --quiet)

Decoding Canon Printer ICC Profile Names (macOS/OS X/Others). Work in progress. Comment if you have any input, or if you see any issues.

Decoding Canon Printer ICC Profile Names

Work in progress.

Canon ICC Profile Naming Conventions

ICC Profiles from Canon follows a simple naming convention. The file always (with few exceptions) starts with Canon, and then the printer model number/name (or printer series), the paper/media type in short form sometimes with a number corresponding to the quality (usually on the scale 1-5, where the lower number is the highest quality, and the higher number is the lowest quality) of the slider in the Print Quality Dialog on your Operating System.
