copy-paste+url (ffox extention) ThiTan

Firefox extension for having a "copy-paste" that also copies the URL of the page. Very useful for citing blogs, webpages, etc. and easily keep the reference of the page ;-)

(links) For my camera

AVCHD Videos

I've got a Panasonic DMC-ZX3 since a few month and I found a few informations on how to view, convert, etc. the videos it takes. They are in HD and outputed in a strange .MTS files (and some others, I'll write more on that some time later). Regular players can't read those files, and I eventually found some converting tools under linux (I'm using ubuntu)


AVCHD = sudo apt-get install libavcodec-extra-52 winff openshot

Tethering (using computer as a screen for the camera while shooting)

Meanwhile, I found this website explaining how to use your computer screen for your camera. I didn't test already, but I like the idea.

Option Dash Dash

Une propriété intéressante des outils gnu,bsd&cie. est la possiblité d'indiquer la fin du passage des options avec un "--" (dash dash).

Pratique par exemple pour faire un grep sur quelquechose qui pourrait ressembler à une option, sans que la chaine à chercher ne soit interprétée comme otion de grep. Mais ce n'est qu'un exemple.


Application, pour chercher toutes les occurences de '-l' dans le fichier 'toto.txt' :

grep -- -l toto.txt
