Hypothetical reader, I bet you always wanted to extract the text from a pdf file. Sure there are a few big tech options but let me appeal to your minimalistic side: pdfminer! This is a simple jar that extracts the text from the pdf into a huge string.

What is this good for you might ask. Well, you can extract the code payment from an invoice. How? There you go: invoice =]

By now, you must be asking yourself: “Oh my god, all you know is janet/functional programming?!”, to which my answer would be a resounding “Yes!”.

However, today I decided to step a little bit outside my comfort zone and make a little script to help me use pomodoro for productivity.

Like you, hypothetical reader, I use dwm with dmenu. With these you can easily create a pomodoro executable to work for you. I say easily because I have no experience with shell script and I made it happen.

Enjoy =]
