The best way to use this tool is to hook apt's use of dpkg to run it before doing any package installs.

In your apt.conf, put this:

DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"xargs -rL1 bash /path/to/stripdeb.sh 2>&1 | logger -t stripdeb"}

Then, a demo:

% sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.1

# Changes:	– create only one Evernote note per (Multi)Markdown input passed (instead of one per line)
#			– do not choke on shell escape characters (use Tempfile instead of shell pipe for osascript)
#			– default to MultiMarkdown 3 executable (instead of MMD 2 Perl script)
#			– make smart typography processing optional (set SMARTY to 'false' to bypass processing;
#			  note smart typography cannot be disabled in MMD 3.0 and 3.0.1
#			– handle both smart typography processing scripts (ie. SmartyPants.pl)

--Script for setting Reminders for LaunchBar and Alfred
--For Alfred, Applescript must NOT be set to run in Background otherwise date parsing does not work
--For LaunchBar, place the script in ~/Library/Scripts/LaunchBar

--Inspired by https://gist.github.com/3187630
--A related Alfred version 2 workflow can be found here: https://github.com/mlgill/alfred-workflow-create-reminder

--Changes
--02/01/2013 * Fixed an issue with setting the time when the hour is 12 and AM/PM (12-hour clock) is used
--            * Removed the ability to set seconds for the time since Reminders doesn't recognize them

I have spent quite a bit of time figuring out automounts of NFS shares in OS X...

Somewhere along the line, Apple decided allowing mounts directly into /Volumes should not be possible:

/etc/auto_master (see last line):

#
# Automounter master map
#

+auto_master # Use directory service

What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

Disclaimer: This piece is written anonymously. The names of a few particular companies are mentioned, but as common examples only.

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would
