I'm currently in the process of expanding my programming horizons to linux. In order to do that, it is important to have a good basic toolset on which you can rely on. and what is more basic then the IDE in which you write your code?

# Quick and dirty hack: converts a font to truetype (.ttf)

How to remove new lines from files or pipe streams under Linux? This post contains simple examples that show how to use common Linux shell tools such as tr, awk/gawk, perl, sed and many others to delete new line characters. C and C++ source codes are also provided. They can be compiled into a binary tool that removes new lines. To get started, here is an example text file: days.txt. Lets have a look at its content by running the following command from shell.
The webcollage program pulls random image off of the World Wide Web and scatters them on the root window. One satisfied customer described it as "a nonstop pop culture brainbath." This program finds its images by doing random web searches, and extracting images from the returned pages.
This is a small application that can be fed the output video stream of a webcam, in which it can recognise and decode code-39 barcodes. It is simply a console application that is limited to parsing an input raw ppm stream, outputting the barcodes to the stdout.
Hmm. I should mention that I dual boot with Windows sometimes, and in fact it's currently completely broken in there - Fn+F5 doesn't even show it (it shows the other two functions) and my Vodafone program can't turn it on. I tried leaving it on in Linux and then booting into Windows, to no avail.
Just a list of 20 (now 28) tools for the command line. Some are little-known, some are just too useful to miss, some are pure obscure -- I hope you find something useful that you weren't aware of yet! Use your operating system's package manager to install most of them. (Thanks for the tips, everybody!)
Gnome-Entwickler Richard Hughes hat ein Colorimeter für TFT-Displays vorgestellt. Der USB-Farbsensor besteht aus nur wenigen Bauteilen, und sowohl die Hard- als auch die Firmware sowie die Client-Software wurden unter GPL veröffentlicht.
