How to convert unreadable mp3 tag in Ubuntu?

In Asian language (for me, Thai) always suffer unreadable mp3 tag. Here is a workaround to solve it.

install python-mutagen with this command

sudo apt-get install python-mutagen

cd to directory that your files at

and use it with this command

find . -iname "*.mp3" -execdir mid3iconv -e [encode] {} \;

done.

you can choose encode that suit to your language here. For Thai user use ISO-8859-11

Copy non-formatted(plain) text in Ubuntu

Sometime, when we are browsing in the rich text place such as web page and we want to copy some text to our writing field (also rich text field too) without text format but normally it can not do.

In Ubuntu, there is a tool to help you called "Glipper"

you can install it with this command

sudo apt-get install glipper

and then you can add it to your panel. Its name is "Clipboard manager" in Add to Panel menu.

My first shell script

I'm the one of English Premiere league fans but my dorminitory doesn't provide TV channel for it. So I have to find out my own. Fortunately, there are several pirate channel available on the internet in the shape of p2p client. One of that is Sopcast

Sopcast provides very easy using application for Windows OS user but it's not me. For Linux user there are a program that can invoke by command line and you have to use your own media player to play it yourself (In fact, there are someone writing linux's front-end Sopcast but it's not work in the way I want)

My problem is that I can't remember the command to run it. Every weekend, I have to open README file of Sopcast for the program running instruction. So I decided to write a script to handle it automatically. And it's also my first shell script ever. Here it is.

#!/bin/sh

echo Start Sopcast at $1
/usr/local/bin/sp-sc $1 3908 8908 > /dev/null &
echo Waiting for Sopcast starting
sleep 10
vlc http://localhost:8908/tv.asf

From now on, any other weekend, no README file. This makes me love not-Windows OS more and more.

VIM - tab size & tab to space setting

to change tab size use this command
:set ts=n
(n=expected size ,ts=tabstop)

to change tab to space use this command
:set et
(et = expandtab)

also invoke it together like this
:set ts=4 et

if you want permanent changing, add command above to file named .vimrc (normally is at your home folder)
