How to create gists from the command line

I was a bit astonished that I couldn't find a working example written in bash on the net that would create gists on the github from the command line. Some examples didn't work at all because they were using old github API or because the text escaping weren't properly implemented. The rest didn't have the functionality I needed.

Visualization of live data streams with the gnuplot and bash (Part 2)

In my first article I have demonstrated the gnuplotwindow.sh script and other utilities to feed the gnuplot with live data streams. Shown scripts are easy to use and if combined together they build powerful chains of data filters. The only problem with the script is that it can only display a continuous data stream updating the plot with each new incoming data sample. To display even more complex data like scatter or 3D plots a different approach of data feeding is needed. It would be necessary to update the plot blockwise and input data should also be fed in blocks. This new concept didn't match well with the gnuplotwindow.sh script so I have written a new script because mixing both concepts in one script would make it unnecessary complex and unmaintainable.

Here is the next article from my "Minimal Xubunu Installation" serie. This time I'll be installing Xubuntu 16.04 LTS codename Xenial Xerus. Please read to the end before you start with installation.

Visualization of live data streams with the gnuplot and bash

This article describes a tiny framework consisting mainly of bash scripts to feed the gnuplot with live data. Different examples are presented to cover general use cases and usage scenarios.

How to fix broken power management in Xubuntu 15.10 (16.04)

As we know Ubuntu has switched to the new "shiny" init system called systemd since the release 15.04. But the integration of that new init system isn't yet completely finished because some things aren't working as before the switch. Power management that utilized pm-utils previously is completely broken for example and no alternative solution is offered. In this article I'll explain how to restore pm-utils's old behaviour as a temporary workaround that can be used until a new and of course better official solution will be implemented.
