+
+## MythTV helpers
+

+- `mythcleandb` -- Delete up stale recordings in the MythTV database.
+- `mythcleanfiles` -- Delete up empty failed recordings.
+- `mythcleanpng` -- Delete orphaned PNG screenshots.
+- `mythsymlink` -- Create symlinks to all recordings with friendly names.
+- `mythtv-mysql-maintenance` -- Repair and optimise performance of the MythTV database tables.
+- `show-mythtv-delays` -- Print stats on how long MythTV took to start playing videos.
+
+
+## Desktop helpers
+
+- `disable-screen-blank.desktop` -- Turn off DPMS so the screen always stays on.
+- `eject.desktop` -- Put this on your desktop to easily eject `/dev/sr0`.
+- `run-every-5sec.service` -- This is a big dumb convenient hammer.
+- `xfdesktop-focus-fix` -- Eg run this every 5sec to fix the case where XFCE unfocuses the desktop.
+

+## Notification helpers
