Some magic tricks scripts to help us overcome the day.
OSM deployment script, corrected to work behind a proxy.
Notify your shell when messages are received in IRC (irssi), works fine over SSH using Cygwin on Windows, as an example.
Email you when IRC messages are received (or even sent) in irssi, including mentions. Very configurable with multiple options.

Modified version of Griffon's xrdp 0.9 script for Ubuntu 16.04, originally available at http://c-nergy.be/blog/?p=10513.
This bash script checks if the host computer is connected to a network whose address includes a part that is specified by an argument.
This bash script makes it easy to give the same command to a set of (Upstart) services sharing the same string prefix. Currently supports Ubuntu 12.04 LTS onwards, at least.
This bash script makes it possible to batch add any number of tasks straight into Wunderlist (there is no native way to batch add tasks in Wunderlist, yet: http://support.wunderlist.com/customer/portal/questions/750794-batch-add-tasks). The way this is possible is by using the "Mail to Wunderlist" feature (https://www.wunderlist.com/blog/mail-to-wunderlist/) but in an automatic way so as to send 1 email per each line of a text file. The script comes ready for Gmail accounts only. If you use another email provider, please hack the script and change the $smtp_addr and $smtp_port variables. Depending on the provider you may also need to change something else. Any issue just contact me. This script requires mailx (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mailx) to be installed.
After some testing it seems wundermail works better if no sync is carried out while the process is ongoing. So, close any Wunderlist instance and then wait at least 2 minutes after wundermail has finished. The Wunderlist mail feature is very sensitive. Also, I've added a delay of 10 second between each task because it seems Wunderlist throttles the amount of mails accepted per unit of time when they become too frequent.
