A simple timer. Simple, but useful in a number of situations.

~ $ cat bin/timer

#!/bin/sh

sleep $@; mplayer /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/bell.oga

4chan image scraper. Just provide the link to a thread, then it saves all the images.

~ $ cat bin/4chan-dl

#!/bin/sh

curl -s $@ | tr '\"' '\n' | grep "images.4chan.org" | uniq | sed s/^/http:/g | xargs wget -nv
