lelandbatey / scrap.tf-scraper.py
Last active December 13, 2015 19:58
Short and dirty page scraper to tell you the different hats that are available on http://scrap.tf. Loops on a ten second delay. If this in any way causes problems for the scrap.tf guys, I'll take it down. However, it's a super useful tool for other fellow hat-hounds.

import urllib2
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import time
def getItemDivs(url):
opener = urllib2.build_opener()
# For this to work, you need to paste your scrap.tf cookies into here. I used the following javascript bookmarklet to get the cookies:
# javascript:void(document.cookie=prompt(document.cookie,document.cookie));

Recursively "git pull" all git directories

# Strips the ".git" from the path produced by 'find'
# passes that master-folder to xargs which cd's into that directory and runs "git pull"

Convert video to .gif really easily. See this commit to my help files as an example: https://github.com/lelandbatey/configDebDev/blob/master/helpFiles.txt#L113
#!/bin/bash
#Alright, so this should automatically convert a given video into a gif called optimized_output.gif
# See here for explanation: https://github.com/lelandbatey/configDebDev/blob/master/helpFiles.txt#L113
ffmpeg -i $1 out%04d.gif # Extracts each frame of the video as a single gif
convert -delay 4 out*.gif anim.gif # Combines all the frames into one very nicely animated gif.
convert -layers Optimize anim.gif optimized_output.gif # Optimizes the gif using imagemagick
# vvvvv Cleans up the leftovers

lelandbatey / tf2ItemsJsonGenerator.py
Created May 19, 2013 23:14
Generates a json file with the item-ids of all tradable items as the keys, and the corresponding item names as the values. Very "hacky" in it's approach to getting the right data that it needs, but it gets the job done. Might break in the future.
from __future__ import print_function
from pprint import pprint
import json
# What do I need?
# This requires two files: tf2ItemsFile and tf2PricesJson.
# tf2ItemsFile
# A copy of the "current client item schema" for tf2. This can either be found

Whiteboard Picture Cleaner - Shell one-liner/script to clean up and beautify photos of whiteboards!

Description

This simple script will take a picture of a whiteboard and use parts of the ImageMagick library with sane defaults to clean it up tremendously.

The script is here:

#!/bin/bash
convert "$1" -morphology Convolve DoG:15,100,0 -negate -normalize -blur 0x1 -channel RBG -level 60%,91%,0.1 "$2"

YouTube 1080p Download Script

YouTube 1080p Downloader

The Problem

It used to be you could directly download any YouTube video in any quality you wanted, as a single .mp4 file. However, around a year ago, YouTube switched from the "single file stream", to "DASH" streaming, which streams the video and the audio to you as two separate streams, which are played in sync with each other in the YouTube player.

It's still possible to download YouTube videos as a single file, but YouTube only offers that for qualities up to 720p. So you can't download "single file stream" videos in 1080p or higher.
