Sprunge – Neat toys showing up in Google App Engine

Some fun things are popping up in Google App Engine.

I like sprunge (discuss) a tool for command line jockeys.  By example:

$ echo Hi there | sprunge
http://sprunge.us/eUdF
$ curl http://sprunge.us/eUdF
Hi there
$ uuencode foo.jpg < ost.jpg | sprunge
http://sprunge.us/WJHN
$ ls foo.jpg
ls: foo.jpg: No such file or directory
$ curl http://sprunge.us/WJHN | uudecode

$ ls -l foo.jpg ost.jpg

-rw-r–r–  1 bhyde  wheel  86669 Apr 22 08:31 ost.jpg
$ cat ~/bin/sprunge
#!/bin/sh
exec curl -F ‘sprunge=< -' http://sprunge.us

Using uuencode made me happy!
