Recently I have been using one my favorite text editors on my mac to process some text lines. Below is a list of some commands I found useful:

Lowercase every character: tr [:upper:] [:lower:]
Sort the lines: sort
Show only unique lines: uniq

I really like this idea of slowing down music and have heard it used by Brian Eno many times when he creates is music, but I never would have imagined to slow down music I dont like lol.

J. BIEBZ - U SMILE 800% SLOWER by Shamantis

Here is the original track that I find hard to believe people use their hard earned money:

Justin Beiber song before slowdown

I rarely need to convert files on my Mac, but when I do, I seem to think I have to find some type of weird audio program to help. My usual pattern to solve this problem was to go onto google.com and put in "convert wma to mp3" and hope for the best. But tonight was different. While playing around with the program VLC, I noticed a menu item that I have never used before: "Streaming/Exporting Wizard". This option allows for doing just as it suggests, but after playing around with some options, I found out that VLC can convert WMA files to MP3 files!

Here are the steps:

1. Open the WMA file(s) in VLC
2. Goto File -> Streaming/Export Wizard
3. Choose "Transcode/Save to file" and click Next
4. Choose "Existing playlist item" and highlight the items you want converted and click Next
5. Because I was converting audio, I used the "Transcode audio" option
6. Set the codec to "MP3" and choose your bitrate (I went with default of 192) and click Next
7. Set your encapsulation to "RAW" and click Next
8. Set your destination directory and click Next and it should start converting!

Afterwards I used Automator to rename my files from "Song Title.wma.raw" to "Song Title.mp3" by:

1. Dragging the audio files onto Automator
2. Adding "Rename Finder Items"
3. Set the operation of the "Rename Finder Items" to "Replace Text"
4. Find = .wma.raw
5. Replace = .mp3
6. Click Run!

I really like the Trac project management software. Recently I have been using it very much and customizing it to fit my needs at work. In regards with the notification system, I found that the default format was not acceptable and a custom one was desired. I added the following code to the file "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/trac/ticket/templates/ticket_notify_email.txt" to have a nice date in the template:

{% python

    from genshi.builder import tag
    from trac.util.datefmt import format_datetime
    import time

    def custom_time(value):
        return format_datetime(t=value, format='%H:%M:%S', tzinfo=PST)

%}

${custom_time(ticket.time)}

My entire file looks like the following:

{% python

    from genshi.builder import tag
    from trac.util.datefmt import format_datetime
    import time

    def custom_time(value):
	return format_datetime(t=value, format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', tzinfo=PST)

%}
{% choose ticket.new %}\
{%   when True %}\
On ${custom_time(ticket.time)} PST, a ticket with the summary of '$ticket.summary' was created by '$ticket.reporter' and assigned to $ticket.owner .
{%   end %}\
{%   otherwise %}\
{%     if changes_body %}\
${_('Changes (by %(author)s):', author=change.author)}

$changes_body
{%     end %}\
{%     if changes_descr %}\
{%       if not changes_body and not change.comment and change.author %}\
${_('Description changed by %(author)s:', author=change.author)}
{%       end %}\
$changes_descr
--
{%     end %}\
{%     if change.comment %}\

${changes_body and _('Comment:') or _('Comment (by %(author)s):', author=change.author)}

$change.comment
{%     end %}\
{%   end %}\
{% end %}\

--
${_('Ticket URL: <%(link)s>', link=ticket.link)}
$project.name <${project.url or abs_href()}>
$project.descr
