Handy Unix Tools

Various useful utils around the system. Most were developed by me, unless stated otherwise.

• feeder - feed one argument at a time to a program that accepts only a single argument
• makegdocs - convert a folder of scanned images into a sequence of pdfs, under 11MB each - so that these can be uploaded to google drive and subsequently auto-OCRed by google docs.
• makepdf - convert a folder of scanned images into a pdf file
• rename.pl - rename dir/file names using perl regex as an argument - a very old but still extremely useful program written by Larry Wall in 1990! You definitely want to have this one in your $PATH directory.
• cmd-reformat.md - a one liner tool to compared 2 sets of cmd args and also to format/sort cmd args - same as a program: cmd-reformat.
• cliptomd - copy preformatted text from Slack, github, Google docs, etc. into markdown w/o losing the rich formatting
