Simple stuff, but useful nonetheless.

Opera has released an official beta build of its upcoming version 9.2 of the popular web browser. One of the big drawcards for this release is the inclusion of something they call “Speed Dial”. Basically, it is essentially a launchpad for your favourite sites which is displayed in any blank tab or window. Below is [...]

Steve Ballmer has fired off another warning shot across the bow of the Linux users and open source vendors in general by repeating his threats to sue companies that do not respect Microsoft’s intellectual property.

For the first time in recorded history (ie. as far as I can remember), linux is actually leading the pack when it comes to flash-player versions. The screenshot below is taken straight from the Adobe website no less than a few minutes ago:

Notice that Linux is at version 9,0,31,0, while both Windows and OSX are [...]

Similarly, the following will chmod all files only (and ignore the directories):
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

This is going to be short and sweet.
Does it bug you everytime you use bash on your linux box (via a terminal-emulator, ssh or otherwise), and it echos new mail notifications every five minutes? Well, if you are signed up to some high traffic mailing lists like I am, you will know my pain.
Here is [...]

This one is for the code vault, and for my own personal reference.
Situation:

You have a movie you really like, but for some reason (such as being a dirty movie pirate.. arrrr!) the movie has been split into multiple files of <700MB for burning across multiple CDRs.
You infact own a DVD burner, and as such, want [...]

I ran into this problem today when updating a client’s server to the latest version of Plesk.
Did you know that upgrading to >7.5.2 disables the ‘Updater’ button in the ‘Server’ section of Plesk?
