Fun scripts from tablespoon

• adblocker.sh - blocks ads and malware at router-level (OpenWrt only)
  • Documentation can be found here.
• auto-blockip - squashes breakin attempts automatically
• awesome-background-changer - randomly select a new wallpaper every hour (gnome 2 only!)
• bt-auto-lock - lock/unlock gnome 2 session based on cell phone proximity
  • you will need to create ~/lib/bluetooth-phone and add "MAC=<your phone's bluetooth mac address>" to it for this to work
• cli-clock - make a clock with ANSI art
  • --world : shows multiple clocks with timezone labels
  • --24hour : displays a 24-hour clock (this is the default)
  • --12hour : displays a 12-hour clock
  • This script can also be used to print strings. For a demonstration, try: ./cli-clock 'Hello, world!'
  • Because of tiny memory leaks in bash, this script will eventually (over the course of weeks/months) begin to lag a little bit. The python re-implementation below doesn't have as many features as this bash version, but it can run indefinitely without any slowdown. I submitted a bug report to the bash devs (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2014-01/msg00012.html), but they didn't seem to think it was worth fixing.
• cli-clock.py - re-implementation of cli-clock using python
  • Prettier than the bash version, and unaffected by bash's tiny memory leaks. However, only provides basic clock functionality.
  • You can turn it into a 24-hour clock by uncommenting line 130.
• cpi - bash parallel pi estimator
• cpi.py - python pi estimator (not parallel... my bash is stronger than my python)
• last_n_minutes - bash script to print the last N minutes of a standard linux log file
• nvidia-update - check for (and optionally download) a newer nvidia driver
