Simple script to add the current time to a screenshot.
Pass in the filename of the screenshot as an argument and the script will create a new file (named after the time, in the current directory) with the time written in the lower right corner.
The location of the time string and the location of the font to use is hardcoded.

Helper scripts for me to manage my blog.
I write my blog entries as restructured text files. The copytoblog command
copies the text file to the correct date's blog subdirectory, creating it if
necessary.
There's also a command to open today's entries in emacs.
Note that some of this might be better placed inside my website project instead of here. TODO.

Helper script to generate a zettelkasten ID (YYYYMMDDHHMM-some-info.md) filename
dtname by itself just outputs 202208171545.md, dtname some info gives
you 202208171545-some-info.md

Simple script to add notes to a logfile from the command line.
The idea, that I read somewhere, is that a good engineer should keep logs of what he does so that he can look at it later. It helps me quite a lot as I regularly encounter a weird problem, knowing that I solved it earlier. But not remembering what the solution was.
So either I have to write a blog entry about it so that I can find it in google, or I need to add it to a simple text-based logfile somewhere. That's what this script does.

Add/commit/push a git checkout in one command ("gac", for "Git Add Commit").
Lots of my personal stuff is in git, so I need to do a lot of git add -u,
git commit -m "update" and git push. Note the "update"
message. I'm often not bothering with more descriptive commit messages.
The script does ask for confirmation after first showing the status: prevent accidents.

Open github page for your current directory in your browser.
You're working on the commandline and want to check something for the github
project you're working on. This script (called gh) looks up the github url
for your project and opens it in your webbrowser.
If you call it like gh issues, you'll get the issues page.
I got the idea from https://github.com/myusuf3/octogit.

Create a directory and pre-fill it with an __init__.py
Basically: mkdir plus the creation of the init file. Handy for creating a
django app's $APP/management/commands/ directory.

Small utility script for printing a bunch of calculations for my kids.

Fix the thunderbird newsrc settings
The settings sometimes contain lines like:
gmane.comp.python.distutils.devel: 1-12428,12431-12446
There's a two-article 'hole' in there that shows up as two unread messages. This script removes the holes.
