Change phpMyadmin theme.

Changing the phpMyAdmin theme is as easy as downloading a theme from <a href="http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/themes.php" target="_blank">here. Then look at your /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf file and check the line similar to

Alias /phpMyAdmin /phpMyAdmin

The second path is the path to your phpMyAdmin installation. Go to that directory and then go to themes directory and unzip the file. Reload your phpMyAdmin page in browser and select the newly installed theme 🙂

View the newest xkcd comic.

This function displays the latest comic from xkcd.com. One of the best things about xkcd is the title text when you hover over the comic, so this function also displays that after you close the comic.

$ xkcd(){ local f=$(curl -s <a href="http://xkcd.com/">http://xkcd.com/);display $(echo "$f"|grep -Po '(?<=")http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/[^"]+(png|jpg)');echo "$f"|awk '/<img src="http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/.?" title=./{gsub(/^.title=.|".?$/,"");print}';}

To get a random xkcd comic, I also use the following:

xkcdrandom(){ local f=$(wget -q <a href="http://dynamic.xkcd.com/comic/random/">http://dynamic.xkcd.com/comic/random/ -O -);display $(echo "$f"|grep -Po '(?<=")http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/[^"]+(png|jpg)');echo "$f"|awk '/<img src="http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/.?" title=./{gsub(/^.title=.|".?$/,"");print}';}
