sudo apt-get install libsnack2-alsa
sudo dpkg -i wavesurfer_1.8.8p3-kth.debwavesurfer_sndfile.tgz: plug-in for Wavesurfer that adds sound file formats supported by libsndfile. Currently only available on GNU Linux. To install, unpack the file content into the directory .wavesurfer/_VERSION_/plugins/

bm-unsrt.bst: a BibTeX style based on unsrt.bst ti add Bibliometric data to the reference list
par.pdf: illustration of some of the graphical parameters in R plot (work in progress, more will come, in the meantime check this).
phpwrap.cgi: a CGI wrapper for PHP (useful if the PHP server is different from the WEB/CGI server). This script is used in the TMH web pages.

Useful one-liners
This is a collection of useful one-liners that come handy when you don't have time to read the program's man pages. I did this mostly for myself, see if you find it useful. All the tools described here are freely available on unix systems (on Ubuntu/Debian apt-gettable).
Images to PDF and viceversa (ImageMagick)
Convert many files and concatenate them into one pdf (works with any other image format supported by ImageMagick):
convert *.jpg file.pdf
PDF concatenation (pdftk)
Simple case: concatenate all pdf files in the current directory into one:
pdftk *.pdf cat output all.pdf
Slightly more complicated: substitute pages 13 and 14 of file1.pdf with the corresponding pages from file2.pdf (can be used also to cocatenate only a subset of pages from each file):
pdftk A=file1.pdf B=file2.pdf cat A1-12 B13-14 A15-16
output file3.pdf
Change file encoding (recode)
Change file encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 (Unicode). Note that you
can achieve the same in emacs
by pressing C-x C-m f utf-8 or C-x RET f utf-8:
recode ISO-8859-1..UTF-8 file
Emacs: Run external command on region (e.g. count words)
Start the selection with C-space, move to the end of the region, press M-x shell-command-on-region (the same with M-| but didn't work for me), then type the command and Enter. For example with 'wc -w' you can count the words in the region. Put this in your .emacs file to add the commands count-words-buffer and count-words-region
