Clean an iTunes M4A audio track from all identifying/personal information with AtomicParsley and Python

What is this

This python script is a radical attempt to remove all personal information from iTunes M4A audio tracks. All ID3 information will be lost in the process, sadly. You need to figure out a special offset in one of your audio files in a hex editor for this to work. If you are looking for a very simple solution, this is not your script.

If this helps you, please consider tipping to make up for the ridiculous amount of time I lost putting this together:
Gittip Flattr

A vanilla javascript method that returns the closest DOM ancestor that matches a selector, or null.
var closest = function(selector, ele) {
if(!selector || !ele) return null;
//polyfill .matches()
if(Element && !Element.prototype.matches) {
Element.prototype.matches = Element.prototype.matchesSelector || Element.prototype.mozMatchesSelector || Element.prototype.msMatchesSelector || Element.prototype.oMatchesSelector || Element.prototype.webkitMatchesSelector;
}
if(ele.matches(selector)) return ele; //return self if it matches

A small utility that copies mailboxes from one IMAP account to another.
<?php
/*
This code is based heavily on the instructions given on http://egil.biz/migrate-e-mail-over-imap-with-php/
Many hours on Stackoverflow have been spent trying to make this.
I tried to clean it up, make it readable, add a nicer UI and feedback about errors.
If you like this, use this or it helps you, I'm happy to hear about it.
Drop me a line if you have feedback, too.

Müllkalender .ics der Stadt Mannheim aufhübschen

Die .ics-Datei, die man von http://abfallkalender.mannheim.de/ bekommt, kann man mit ein bisschen Geduld und Arbeit im Code-Editor der Wahl recht gut aufhübschen. Die Notizen hier sind für mich selbst, aber wer mag, kann sich ja auch daran versuchen. Ich habe die Termine nicht in einem eigenen Kalender, sondern in einem allgemeinen Termine-Kalender, darum füge ich vor jeden der Einträge den Begriff Müllabfuhr. Dann weiss man Bescheid.

basics

  • .ics datei öffnen (im format windows 1252?)
  • datei speichern als UTF-8
  • Ersetze ;CHARSET=UTF-8 durch empty string (braucht man nicht, die ganze datei ist jetzt eh utf-8)
