Eventually I'm going to put more links to small useful shell scripts and Python programs I have written and use that aren't big enough to warrant their own page.

• popup_note.sh - a script to pop-up a specified Tomboy note. I described it in more detail in Quick pop-up of Tomboy notes. Briefly, to use, pass the name of the note to open as a parameter. To open a note named GTD Inbox:

    $ popup_note.sh GTD Inbox
  

• search_and_install.sh - a script for Debian-based systems for searching for and installing new packages. Provides a GUI For selecting packages to install that match given search term(s). I described it in more detail in Handy script to search for and install Debian Packages. Briefly, to use, either pass in the search terms on the command line (search_and_install.sh <search terms>), or you will be prompted for them.
