`$ diary` to create/open a file for today's diary in vim: https://github.com/Aperocky/diaryman/blob/master/diaryman.sh
Or try `pip install diarycli`: https://github.com/Aperocky/diarycli, for a pip packaged python version that does the exact same thing.
I've actually kept diary and work logs, things I did not know I was capable of.
Why it was even nessecary to dothis in the first place rather than a script that also entered the correct answer was presumably some weird thing in the contract with the state who administered the test.
This tiny script keeps my gmail inbox clean and manageable. It auto-archives any emails older than 2 days (you can change this obviously) unless they're starred - this changes my email experience in two ways: 1) My email inbox ONLY has emails that are either new or that I decided were relevant. I have two days to notice this. 2) When I'm scanning my email, if I see something important that I don't have time to deal w…
Virus that turned files and folders on removable drives into hidden system files was a popular thing that antivirus progs just didn't help with was everywhere. Friend's and co-workers would constantly bombard me for help recovering the files. When I figured out essentially how the pesky virus worked (this was before the variants that made reg edits) I coded something to do the opposite in a batch script. Would then just set it to identify the portable drive added and it'd delete the virus....the .lnk shortcut files it created and then unhide and return the folders and files back to normal.
Nothing fancy but it did influence my career direction alot.

The issue I had with these were that, these pages are always in desktop mode even on mobile. So i made a one page static website which takes & stores these urls in local storage, & fetches the one I click upon. On next pageload, it remebers the last loaded city & it loads it again.
All the page is in mobile-first view mode in css.

You might see nothing as you need to preload/populate the local storage with either manually copied urls or simply paste this json.

]One is GenFortune: https://github.com/EternityForest/GenFortune Which is like fortune, but it generates them using a MadLibs style algorithm from data files.
One is a candle flicker simulation algorithm. I did not make this demo, I wrote the original for the PIC, they adapted a version of it for JS: http://blackdice.github.io/Candle/
At the time cheap LED candles weren't very good, but it seems many are a lot better now. I used a model assuming that the flickering was wind driven, that the flame always wants to rise towards it's maximum at a certain rate, but that depending on the current wind speed at any time it can get randomly "toppled" to a lower value, while then wind settles down to a baseline but can randomly jump up in a gust to a higher speed.
Of course, now we have multicolor multipixel flame algorithms that do way better, but this is pretty good on a single pixel light.
I still use mostly the same algorithm for DMX flame effects in Python, but I apply then effect less to the red channel so it gets redder when the light goes down for a little added variety.
The other is this RNG. It does not even have a full period for it's 32 bits of state but it's very fast on PIC10 type chips. I can't think of any reason I'd use it. I was like 15. But of everything I've ever made, this gets the most attention, and I'm not entirely sure why. It doesn't even pass all statistical tests. I'd probably use it over LCG though.
``` uint8_t x,a,b,c; uint8_t randRNG8() // Originally unsigned char randomize(). { x++; //x is incremented every round and is not affected by any other variable a = (a^c^x); //note the mix of addition and XOR b = (b+a); //And the use of very few instructions c = ((c+(b>>1))^a); //the right shift is to ensure that high-order bits from b can affect return( c); //low order bits of other variables } ```

To practice my marketing copy, I wrote a not-for-profit one page site about how I use it:
Most useful script I've ever written, and legitimately how I keep track of everything important in my life: #! /bin/bash function todo { if [ $# -eq 0 ] then vim ~/Dropbox/todo/todo_list.txt else vim "$HOME/Dropbox/todo/todo_list_$1.txt" fi } Sourcing this in my shell means I just have to type... todo To automatically get into my default todo list which is synced to dropbox (and thus accessible everywhere on mobile a…
Do you have a format in your text files to track when things are done, like a checklist?
In Org, you can give things states like "TODO", "INPROGRESS", "DONE", "CANCELLED", add checkboxes (like "[ ]" and "[x]"), have sub-tasks/lists, etc.
I have really gotten into Org, and I have found there are a few other checklist formats/programs in plain text. Just wondering how you do it.
Something like the following, then just copy it in a shell script, chmod +x it and execute it:
select 'curl -XPOST localhost:9090/apis/some-service/' || p.technical_name || '/locale/' || l.full_locale
