started using “GitHub Desktop” and migrating a couple of files (utilities)
The O’Reilly book describes using “GitHub for Mac“. Today (2017-07-21) there is “GitHub Desktop” instead – and I started using it 😎 . I started migrating a couple of utilities I uploaded to
misc/using_timestamps_in_filenames. Quite a big step for me! -
“Mishkan T’filah—A Reform Siddur” is a prayer book prepared for Reform Jewish congregations around the world

- https://www.ccarpress.org/shopping_product_detail.asp?pid=50113 – available for Kindle as well – and this should be easy to de-kindle 😆 – so this looks like a “general e-book” to me

upgrading my Macs from El Capitan (10.11) to Sierra (10.12) – keeping fink in sync
Nota bene: you should always upgrade fink before upgrading OS X.
http://www.finkproject.org/download/srcdist.php?phpLang=en :
$ sudo xcodebuild -license
Install the CLI:
$ sudo xcode-select –install
…
$ fink reinstall fink
Before running the fink utility you should “always” start
gcc, in order to clear any problems with Xcode.If your fink activities run into a gcc problem like this:
…, you currently have gcc (unknown version) selected.
… – remember I told you to run
gcc(resp.sudo gcc) on its own!Afterwards your fink activities will work smoothly again.
- http://fink.sourceforge.net/news/#2016-09-20%20fink-0.41.0%20released – for me these instructions also work for upgrading from 10.11 to 10.12 (not just from “10.9 or 10.10”, as the instructions they themselves)
Some of my installations need “sudo fink”, some of them work with a simple “fink” (w/o an explicit “sudo”). (How to change this??? Is this really true???)

MediaWiki – interesting use of a less prominent attribute: ref group=”…”, references group=”…”
These 2 MediaWiki XML elements carry an attribute named “group”: ref and references. And as you already know, those 2 elements work together.
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Cite – the reference manual
- https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wotan_Wilke_Möhring – this article has a separate list named “Anmerkungen”, the group attribute calls it “Anm.”
Using this attribute you can easily keep a separate group of references, that does not necessarily provide outside links but e.g. simple notes.

my Polar V800 and where to …
Its watch strap has 21 holes. I usually wear it at the 12th hole.
Whenever I have to charge its battery via USB, I ask myself: at which hole will I wear if for now?

your ODF file (“.odt”, “.ods”, …) and its “modified” timestamp
- https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/XML_-_Managing_Data_Exchange/OpenOffice.org_%26_OpenDocument_Format
- https://github.com/JochenHayek/misc/blob/master/using_timestamps_in_filenames/create_snapshot_from_ODF.sh
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMLStarlet
Your “.odt” (or “.ods”) file is a ZIP file with a meta.xml inside:
$ unzip -l YOUR.ods … … meta.xml …
This is a convenient way to extract meta.xml to STDOUT:
$ unzip -p YOUR.ods meta.xml …
This is how to get the XML reformatted using xmlstartlet:
$ unzip -p YOUR.ods meta.xml | xml fo
This command line shows you the possible XPath expressions:
$ unzip -p YOUR.ods meta.xml | xml el … office:document-meta/office:meta/dc:date …
How to extract “modified” to STDOUT?
$ unzip -p YOUR.ods meta.xml | xml sel --template --value-of office:document-meta/office:meta/dc:date
And how to extract the timestamp w/o anything but decimal digits?
$ unzip -p YOUR.ods meta.xml | xml sel --template --value-of office:document-meta/office:meta/dc:date | tr -d ':TZ-' | perl -pe 's/^(.*)..*$/$1/'
