That's how i feel about "convert" from imagemagick
5 comments

Which is why I use graphicsmagick [1] instead. The imagamagick executables becomes options behind the 'gm' executable.

Can't believe I never heard of GraphicsMagick. Thanks for the heads up. I wonder if it has a Ruby interface.
IIRC yes but, since it leaked memory like a sieve, I did everything via system("gm ...")

(This memory is a few years out of date.)

And "import"!
Hate it when I'm starting a newly written python script, and have forgotten the hashbang. For some reason my mouse cursor turns into a cross, and the script does nothing!

Always takes me a couple of seconds to realize what's going on...

I have a similar issue where I tend to start typing python code in the shell without remembering to enter the repl first.
PostgreSQL's "initdb"!
That's still much better than their 'createuser'
`testparm` for Samba.
packer has a name collision, too.
