These are some utilities I have written.
trackPackage.py prints the latest update about a package you're expecting in the mail. It is intended for occasional personal use on your computer.
xorTable.py generates the pretty image I use for my avatar on github. Each pixel is the XOR of its x and y coordinates. It can also print out a table of x XOR y or it can apply a XOR cellular automata rule to a random sequence of points to generate an image.
photoMover.py is for moving all files with a given extension from a directory to destination/YYYY/MM/DD/. By default is moves ./IMG_YYYYMMDD*.jpg from the current working directory to ~/Pictures/YYYY/MM/DD/, but it has flags to let you move a variety of other files:
-e- move files with this extension. Default is "jpg"-b- regex for the initial part of the filename. Default is "IMG_"[source]- default is current working directory[destination]- default is ~/Pictures
mandelbrot.py tries to guess whether a complex number is in the mandelbrot set or not.
humanshuffle.py shuffles a list in a way that appears random to humans. Humans will complain if [1, 2, 3, 4] shuffles to [1, 3, 2, 4] because it's "not random enough". This function is useful for when the appearance of randomness is more important than actual randomness. For example when deciding what order a group of players should take their turns in, people will be happier if the order is considerably different than last time.
