Euangelion I wanted a way to be able to send command line (CLI) output to myself through an encrypted email. I looked to Python for ease of programming, relearning what I had first practiced my freshman year of college. I wrote the original version nearly a year ago today and have updated it to try to implement a more standard project layout. The original program was contained in three files, while the current version is held in two files, one for install, one for emailing.

Today, I bumped into an issue of undesired keyboard behavior. Long ago I discovered the joys of the Compose Key, and within the past month I had to set up keyboards for languages besides English, as well as setting up IBus in order to have access to the full range of International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) characters (although I’m pretty sure I still don’t have this functionality truly working). Besides these things, I thought I would never have to touch my keyboard layout again.

When I began 3D printing, I watched instructional and introductory videos to tell me more about the process, the art, the product, the machine, and the rest of the lot. The videos often included time lapses of the featured print and I thought it would be a perfect addition to Redemption Studio. When I published A Dice Tower Gift, Part Two, I mentioned I would provide the scripts I wrote in order to produce the videos. All in all, I constructed six scripts which I used to learn FFMPEG, Montage, and several other programs, not to mention Bash’s getopts, data validation, arrays and more. It felt rewarding by the end of the process! Those scripts are provided in the Bash Scripts downloads.
