Search from the command line
A simple Python script to allow you to quickly search from the command line that I’ve been playing with on and off for a while.
https://github.com/alastairhm/searchit
It uses the Python Library Fire to automatically generate the command line interface which is something I stumbled across recently.
You either pass it a paramater for the search term or if one it not passed it used whatever is in your clipboard buffet.
Updating the parameter file you can add other search engines and pick which one to use as your default.
Learn C on Linux
Came across this article of ways to Learn C on Linux which took me back to my 3rd real programming job.
It was with a software house mainly working with C/C++ on Linux/ Unix and embedded systems.
My first real experience use C/C++ in a professional environment, happy days with a good bunch of geeks.
If you’ve never tried it before it would be a good change from more recent languages to learn C for a challenge.
