if NOT EXIST MP3 md MP3

if NOT EXIST WAV md WAV



for %%f in (*.wav) do (

	cls

	lame -b 96 -V 5 -B 128 -m j --vbr-new -q 5 "%%f" "MP3\%%f.mp3"

	move "%%f" WAV

)

Opera Syncing using Svn

griflet (guillaume riflet) — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 18:47:19 GMT

This batch file allows to run opera after checking out your web-based opera profile. When you terminate your opera session, the batch will commit the changes you made to your profile during the opera session.



 REM OperaSync.bat

 @echo off

 

 set PRG=Opera

 set TARGET=%APPDATA%/%PRG%/%PRG%/profile

 set EXEC=%PROGS%/%PRG%/%PRG%.exe

 set REPO=https://********.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/%PROG%Sync

 set USER=*************

 

 echo Checking out from %REPO% ...

 svn checkout %REPO% "%TARGET%" --username %USER%

 echo %PROG% running ...

 %EXEC%

 echo Commiting to %REPO% ...

 svn commit -m --force-log "%TARGET%"

 echo Done.

 

 @echo on

Here's the list of files that I update from a svn repo for my Opera profile

MySql Backups Under Windows

Charlie (Stephen Martindale) — Mon, 13 Mar 2006 17:29:02 GMT

This batch script will backup any MySql database on the local machine, including all routines (stored procedures and functions), to a file named after the database followed by the date (YYYY-MM-DD) and time (HHMMSSSS). The first argument is the database name, second is the username to run the backup as and third is the password.

This script requires your date and time formats to be the windows default formats. Changing them can break this script. The script pauses at the end to cause a cmd window to remain open for long enough for the user to read the output.



@echo off

echo Starting Backup of Database: %1



For /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /t') do (set dt=%%c-%%a-%%b)

For /f "tokens=1-4 delims=:." %%a in ('echo %time%') do (set tm=%%a%%b%%c%%d)

set bkupfilename=%1 %dt% %tm%.bak

echo Backing up to file: %bkupfilename%



mysqldump %1 --routines -u %2 -p%3 > "%bkupfilename%"



echo Backup Complete!

pause

echo on

One-click connect from cygwin to full-screen Linux (X stuff required)

debedb (http://www.hrum.org) — Wed, 25 Jan 2006 22:13:49 GMT

Optional: execute the following once (see http://hacks.oreilly.com/pub/h/66 for
details), to avoid typing in the password.



set LINUX_HOST=mylinuxhost

ssh-keygen -t rsa

ssh %USERNAME%@%LINUX_HOST% "mkdir .ssh; chmod 0700 .ssh"

bash -c 'scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub %LINUX_HOST%:.ssh/authorized_keys2'

Now, if you save the following as a BATCH file, you can just click it
to connect to fullscreen Linux:



set LINUX_HOST=mylinuxhost

start /min xinit 

xhost +%LINUX_HOST%

ssh %LINUX_HOST% "declare -x DISPLAY=%COMPUTERNAME%:0; echo $DISPLAY;gnome-session"'

NOTES:
1.
Sometimes xhost + does not execute in time. O well. Just close
all windows that got opened and try again.

2.
If you didn't do the step one (ssh keys), you will be prompted
to enter the linux password; this increases the chances of the above
error.

3.
The single terminal window appearing in the Linux desktop is in fact
a window from your PC.
