    3 Provides a collection of handy ~/bin scripts
    4 
    5 *   **i3-lock-wrapper**: Wrapper around the i3 window manager lock program,
    6     i3lock. Takes a screenshot of the current screen, blurs and desaturates,
    7     then sets as the lock screen background.
    8 
    9 *   **screenshot.sh**: Takes a screenshot from the command line. Useful for i3
   10     users who set up hotkeys that call scripts.
   11 
   12 *   **share_desktop.sh**: Sets up a readonly passworded vnc session for desktop
   13     sharing. Serves as a fairly nice replacement for proprietary desktop
   14     sharing applications.
   15 
   16 *   **vid_compress**: Compresses the given video to ogv (for now). The original
   17     is not deleted. Useful for when lots of video was taken on a trip and you
   18     don't want to keep the highest quality uncompressed originals around.
   19 
   20 *   **virtualize**: Uses qemu and libvirt to quickly virtualize a single system
   21     in the foreground. Useful for spinning up quick virtual machines with short
   22     lives (eg: for testing purposes)
