Javascript bookmarklet to create markdown-style link
This bookmarklet creates a markdown-style link for the current webpage
javascript:function htmlEscape(s){s=s.replace(/&/g,'&');s=s.replace(/>/g,'>');s=s.replace(/</g,'<');return s;} function linkEscape(s){s=s.replace(/&/g,'&');s=s.replace(/"/,'"');return s} h = '[' + htmlEscape(document.title) + ']' + '(' + linkEscape(location.href) + ')'; with(window.open().document){write(h+'<form name=f><textarea name=a rows=5 cols=80 wrap=hard>'+htmlEscape(h)+'</textarea></form>'); close(); f.a.select(); } void 0
It’s shamelessly ripped off from this bookmarklet which creates an html-style link for the current webpage
javascript:function htmlEscape(s){s=s.replace(/&/g,'&');s=s.replace(/>/g,'>');s=s.replace(/</g,'<');return s;} function linkEscape(s){s=s.replace(/&/g,'&');s=s.replace(/"/,'"');return s} h = '<a href="' + linkEscape(location.href) + '">' + htmlEscape(document.title) + '</a>'; with(window.open().document){write(h+'<form name=f><textarea name=a rows=5 cols=80 wrap=hard>'+htmlEscape(h)+'</textarea></form>'); close(); f.a.select(); } void 0
I got the above, I think, from Web Development Bookmarklets

[IO.Directory]::EnumerateFiles vs. Get-ChildItem
On my laptop, with a fairly random set of files, I found that
[http://IO.Directory]::EnumerateFiles
….is a lot quicker than
get-childitem
….given that all I wanted was the filename.
Here is the test I did:
11:24 [1.83] C:\powershell >measure-command {$x = [IO.Directory]::EnumerateFiles("c:\temp", "*", 'AllDirectories')} | select milliseconds
Milliseconds
------------
4
14:26 [0.02] C:\powershell >measure-command {$x = [IO.Directory]::EnumerateFiles("c:\temp", "*", 'AllDirectories')} | select milliseconds
Milliseconds
------------

14:26 [0.01] C:\powershell >measure-command {$x = [IO.Directory]::EnumerateFiles("c:\temp", "*", 'AllDirectories')} | select milliseconds
Milliseconds
------------

14:26 [0.01] C:\powershell >measure-command {$x = get-childitem -recurse "c:\temp"} | select milliseconds

podcasts I listen to - some episodes
I’ve split the list into three posts, depending on whether I listen religiously to every episode, or just most episodes, or whether I cherry pick the ones that interest me:
This .opml file should be import-able into podcast apps
When I started consuming podcasts, I was very ‘hunt-and-peck’. I had a list of podcasts in an RSS reader and I would only download individual episodes that I thought looked interesting. ‘Interesting’ meaning ‘interesting to me’. I’ve only started downloading every episode of some podcasts fairly recently.
….anyway, I often download from all of these, but typically not every episode.
