About a week ago I picked up a new digital camera. Actually, I picked up my *first* digital camera. I had never owned one before. For a geek, I have less toys than most.
However camera prices have come down, and I think I got an ok deal on it.
I am pretty pleased with it.
This morning I wanted to upload a bunch of pics, and then delete them from the 2G sd card I also purchased (like, wtf would a 8MP camera come with a 16M card…I could take like half a picture before that would fill up). At the same time I wanted to keep a few. Luckily for me the ones I wanted to keep were early in the sequence of the auto naming the camera does.
for i in `seq 106 171`;do rm IMG_0$i.JPG;done
I know there are other ways to do that, but I thought it was fun. Post your bizarre solutions in the comments if you like (and none of this…I would open Windows explorer and drag a rectangle around them :).
