Linux

Being stupid with friends a couple of nights ago, this is the way I shutdown my laptop (fixing a typo, you know):

echo "sudol init 0" | sed 's/sudol//'|xargs sudo

{{974682812}} This morning I decided to give Scribes another try. It has some great and cool features such a snippets (see the demo) and automatic word completion.
It also offers a pretty big set of keyboard shortcuts, some of them solve those little repetitive tasks you are used to if you edit a lot of code (like “free current line” or “free next line” to make space for more code).

In the past you may have encountered this problem: looping through a list of files with a Bash “for loop” gave you headaches if filenames had spaces inside. This is our setting:
<br /> flevour@voyance:/tmp/blog_post$ touch "my filename with space"<br /> flevour@voyance:/tmp/blog_post$ touch one two three other filenames<br /> flevour@voyance:/tmp/blog_post$ ls -l<br /> total 0<br /> -rw-r--r-- 1 flevour flevour 0 2007-05-07 17:49 filenames<br /> -rw-r--r-- 1 flevour flevour 0 2007-05-07 17:48 my filename with space<br />

Read `man bash` or the Simmetry entry on Wikipedia.

{{330467135}}A lot of guides go into details to explain the correct sequence for getting a Apache+PHP+MySQL environment running on Linux.
I am running a fresh Ubuntu installation right now and when I typed “apt-get install phpmyadmin” I noticed everything I needed was correctly installed (except for mysql, this calls for another hard “apt-get install mysql-server” command).
Next time I’ll need LAMP, I’ll “apt-get install phpmyadmin mysql”, instead of going through other step-by-step guides…
