In this page, I will get a bit more personal and talk about the things I love to do in my free time. I am fond of science and technology. I watch a lot of youtube videos. I love movies and series and I watch a lot of SF. I have read many books and my passion too is in SF. I need music in my life and used to be a big video game player in my youth. I like sports, debate, food and travels.
Science & Technology
I am spending a lot of time reading vulgarization articles and watching youtube videos on science and technology.

Pssst: Here is a nice script to Download any videos on Youtube
youtube-dl
… And here is a fancy script to specifically download music with thumbnails:
youtube-dl --no-overwrite -i --playlist-start 344 --write-thumbnail --yes-playlist --playlist-end 375 --output '%(title)s.%(ext)s' --restrict-filenames --extract-audio --audio-quality 0 --audio-format "mp3" https://www.youtube.com/watch\?v\=3sOvS33U0uM\&index\=325\&list\=PLXH5-WxRNyUVYcGBhgWif47veUAMBjZSZ
for i in *.jpg; do eyeD3 --add-image $i:FRONT_COVER ${i%.jpg}.m4a; done
rm *.jpg
I have never used this script to auto download all my music…
