Submitted by Federico Pistono on Thu, 07/31/2008 - 12:17.Pretty simple.
#!/usr/bin/env bash wget -S $1 2>&1 | grep -q -m 1 "Expires: Sun, 19 Nov 1978 05:00:00 GMT" \ && echo "Yes" || echo "No"
Save the script in a file called is-drupal, and make it executable (i.e. chmod +x is-drupal) and put it in a directory in your path (e.g. ~/local/bin/). Now, you can easily check a site with following command:
is-drupal www.federicopistono.org

hacks - Pizza Party Unix - order a pizza from a terminal
Submitted by Federico Pistono on Mon, 06/09/2008 - 21:57.This is awesome. pizza_party is a 24 KB Perl script written for people who spend so much time at the command-line that they don't have time to pick up the phone and call Dominos, or even to go thru the many-step process of using Dominos web interface. Obviously it's released under the GPL. The website reports that it's been ported to Python.

hacks - feeling at home with bash
Submitted by Federico Pistono on Mon, 06/02/2008 - 20:40.I longed for this for so many year but somehow never took the effort to research it. Turns out that bash autocompletion can be be made into something sane by adding the following to profile/bashrc:
# make bash autocomplete with up arrow bind '"\e[A":history-search-backward' bind '"\e[B":history-search-forward' # make tab cycle through commands instead of listing bind '"\t":menu-complete' # make cd try only directories complete -d cd
