A personal collection of Python scripts for solving annoyances, automating repetitive tasks, and experimenting with new ideas.
Some are polished, some are quick hacks - all are here because they proved useful at least once.
| Script | Description |
|---|---|
photo_frame_sync.py | Emails new photos from a local folder to a Pix-Star digital frame. Tracks sent files using SQLite. A workaround after Google Photos API changes broke direct sync. |
google-translation.py | Command-line utility that uses Google Translate to translate phrases between languages. Great for quick lookups and rough translations. |
semantic-model-translator.py | Translates semantic model resources (created with eGain's semantic model editor). This was a development tool I knocked up to see if translations could be done using Google. This is highly bespoke and was a POC piece. |
extract_kindle_books.py | Extracts book titles and authors from Kindle’s local cache (KindleSyncMetadataCache.xml) and saves them to a CSV file. |
scramble_pad.py | Tkinter app to practise entering a fixed 4-digit PIN on a scramble-pad. Measures accuracy and speed. |
These scripts are provided as-is. There's no hand-holding. If something here helps you, feel free to adapt and reuse however you like.
