jordanmerrick / dropbox-pelican-auto-update
Created April 11, 2013 10:36
Automatically update Pelican via Dropbox by using the following shell script as a cron running every minute. Just make sure your user can run "make" without needing sudo (causes a TTY error otherwise and fails).
#!/bin/bash
Respawn="/home/user/Dropbox/files/respawn"
if [ -f $Respawn ]
then
make html -C /var/www/yoursite;rm $Respawn
else
exit 0
fi

jordanmerrick / Convert pelican tags to lowercase
Last active December 17, 2015 11:09
Finds any line starting with "tags:" (case insensitive) and converts any tags to lowercase
## This is destructive as it modifies the files in the directory you're currently in (only if they're .md) but always have a backup.
## I've tested this and it works ok for me, converting the tags all to lowercase. This was run in OS X 10.8.3
## Either copy/paste the entire line or create a shell script with it.
perl -pi -w -e 's/(?i)^tags:.*\n$/lc/ge' *.md

jordanmerrick / Clear TemporaryItems
Created December 19, 2013 13:48
Microsoft Office 2011 utilises the 'TemporaryItems' folder of Mac OS X, much like any other app. If there are any permissions issues within this folder, it can cause a number of problems with Office's Autosave function or prevent the function of emailing documents from within apps, such as Excel. While the path to the folder can be almost random…
set tFolder to path to temporary items
display dialog "Clear Temporary Items?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2
if the button returned of the result is "Yes" then
tell application "Finder"
delete tFolder
end tell
else
error number -128
