HPR1197: What I do with bash scripts

Summary: In this episode I talk about the way I use shell scripting on a day-to-day basis. I am not employed in a technical field, so the fact that I use shell scripts at all surprises most people. I am just a music history professor with an enthusiasm for Linux and free software. Although I have dabbled a bit with Python, I don't feel nearly as comfortable with Python as I do with bash, so all of the scripts I mention in this episode are written for bash. Here are links to blog posts about some of the scripts mentioned in the show. markdown2latex: http://jonathankulp.org/archives/570 Cowsay stuff: http://jonathankulp.org/archives/346 "stick" scp script: http://jonathankulp.org/archives/441 MyIP: http://jonathankulp.org/archives/620
