Well, another semester of grad school is over — I’ve not been very good about updating this site… sorry for that.

I’ll try to be better about it in the coming months! (:

Automated Unrarring

August 3, 2009 No comments »

So, I had a pack of National Geographic TV Episodes — but each one is packaged in little rar packs. In general I have to unrar the files, and remove the pieces. But since there was a folder of like 100 of these episodes I wrote a python script to do it for me! (:

It’s very rudimentary, and probably mostly inefficient –> for example, I didn’t know if there was ‘contains’ method so I just run through a for loop to find the right file. (:

This will remove everything but the avi file that remains once the unrarring is complete. a real time saver for me! (:

You will need this python module to use winrar: it’s by ‘chilkat’ –> http://www.example-code.com/python/rar_unrar.asp

Google Search Results

Is it just me or did google’s search results just gain a whole lot more whitespace?!  Maybe they’re incorporating some kind of user feature to set up how you want the results back.. I don’t know.

I thought it was just me, but I’m pretty sure something changed!

It will take some time to get used to it, but I like it.

Command Line anywhere

No comments »

This is a neat little registry edit to allow you to have a “CmdHere” option when you right click either in a folder or on a folder.  After clicking “CmdHere” you get a command line that is located in that directory.  No more going from C:\ to Documents and Settings to .. etc .. etc.

PLEASE BE FOREWARNED THAT THIS IS NOT A HAPPY ENDING STORY.

I am working on this as I get time… sorry it is constantly being updated until I get all the details in there.

IT’S ALSO VERY LONG ————————- PROCEED WITH CAUTION
