Migrating from Blinklist to Delicious.com: CSV to HTML

January 3, 2010 – 3:19 pm

Apparently blinklist doesn’t export bookmarks to JSON format any longer and delicious has changed authentication scheme for its delicious API for new accounts (now it forces new users to use the OAuth / Yahoo ID). So the solutions described in this old post of mine doesn’t work.

Migrating BlinkList bookmarks and Powermarks bookmarks to del.icio.us

July 11, 2008 – 4:52 pm

It seems that Blinklist’s JSON export doesn’t work any more, and delicious now requires OAuth authentication for new accounts (which rubilicious doesn’t support). So I created another script to transform Blinklist’s CSV format to HTML bookmark format which you can import to delicious.

Scripts to rename avi files from TV Shows

July 5, 2007 – 6:50 pm

If you got a lot of ill-named files like:

$ ls

The.Sopranos.1×04.Meadowlands.avi
The.Sopranos.S01E01.The.Sopranos.avi
The.Sopranos.S01E02.46.Long.avi
The.Sopranos.S01E06.Pax.Soprana.avi
The_Sopranos.105.College.avi

$ ls
1×01.avi 1×02.avi 1×03.avi 1×04.avi 1×05.avi 1×06.avi

you can use the following script in this way:

cd /path/to/avi/files
../script.sh|sh

and if you want to do the same thing to [...]

Merging two TikiWiki’s

June 29, 2007 – 7:31 am

I’ve created a ruby script to merge the content of a TikiWiki into another one. This script will read the tiki_pages, tiki_history and tiki_links tables from the MySQL backend of the source TikiWiki and import the contents into the destination TikiWiki. The script is ’safe’, meaning that it will not overwrite any page if it [...]
