HOWTO

# CLI stupidly simple sharing.
# 
# Does exactly what it seems. Support various formats.
# Binary-friendly blobs.
#
# Depends on `curl' for http communication.
# Depends on `scrot' for interactive screenshot.
#
# Put it in your shell:
#    bash $ curl -Ss '__URL__' >> ~/.bashrc
#    zsh  % curl -Ss '__URL__' >> ~/.zprofile

#    $ lolbin /path/to/file
#    $ cat /path/to/file | lolbin
