avrocat

After playing a bit with simpleavro, I've decided it'll be better done in the Unix tradition of "doing one thing well" and using pipes. Hence avrocat was born, a "cat" like utility for avro files.

usage: avrocat [-h] [-n COUNT] [-s SKIP] [-f {json,csv}] [--header]
               [--filter FILTER] [--schema]
               filename

`cat` for Avro files

positional arguments:
  filename              avro file (- for stdin)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -n COUNT, --count COUNT
                        number of records to print
  -s SKIP, --skip SKIP  number of records to skip
  -f {json,csv}, --format {json,csv}
                        record format
  --header              print CSV header
  --filter FILTER       filter records (e.g. r['age']>1)
  --schema              print schema

EDIT: Seems like avrocat is finding itself into the "avro" package.

I couldn't find any other addon online the gives me keyboard shortcut for saving the current page in Delicious.
Lucky for me, there is GreaseMonkey. Below is a short script to have CTRL-M save the current page in Delicious.

Convert PDF to JPEG

The wife needed a quick and dirty solution to convert PDF files to JPEG. Below is a quick UI (using Tkinter) about ImageMagic's "convert" utility.
