Argh. 30+ zone files and I have to increment all numbers by hand…no way.

Usage:  ./inc.rb in the current directory with all db files.

#!/usr/bin/ruby

Dir.glob("*.db") do |file_name|
 new_zone = [] (more...)

Here is what we want to do

We have the following case:

Developer workstation windows with putty

Spider.bg – a host which has access to the www.psspy.se server

www.psspy.se – firewalled host – we want to put files here via sftp

What we want to do is to use spider.bg host as a proxy and connect to the psspy.se machine.

Tools that are used -

• download putty from here
• winscp – http://winscp.net/eng/download.php

Here are the screenshots with the steps ….

IBM tutorial

Faithful to the rule that I must blog everything that took me more than 15min searching in google I am here again.

This time the post is related to my notebook which mousepad doesnt support double tap (poor lenovo :) )

Emulate3buttons – this is the magic key. Wonder how to use it? Just click left+right at the same time.

Also be aware: in the new distros this setting is not changed from xorg.conf  check this article

http://www.seebs.net/log/articles/459/disabling-emulate3buttons-on-ubuntuleft+left+right clicks right clicks

The rest is a copy/paste from the post above

The problem is that you can’t just override this in xorg.conf anymore. You need to use xinput. xinput’s powerful, clever, flexible… and totally over the heads of a lot of users. Here’s a script to run from .xinitrc or the equivalent which disables Emulate3Buttons on any input devices which have it. (It’s now called “Middle Button Emulation”, mind.)

#!/bin/sh
xinput list | sed -ne 's/^[^ ][^V].*id=\([0-9]*\).*/\1/p' | while read id
do
        case `xinput list-props $id` in
        *"Middle Button Emulation"*)
                xinput set-int-prop $id "Middle Button Emulation" 8 0
                ;;
        esac
done

How this works: We first obtain a list of ID numbers, disregarding those where the second character on the line was V, because xinput list-props doesn’t work on the "Virtual[...] lines for the generic keyboard and mouse. For each such device, we check to see whether it has the feature; if so, we disable it. (The number 8 indicates that we’re setting an 8-bit value; it doesn’t really matter. The disabled state is 0.)

Found great summary of mod rewrite here

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/286004/hidden-features-of-modrewrite

I aways forget the params for mod_rewrite so here is the summary

• [R] force a redirect (default 301)
• [R=302] force a 302 redirect
• [L] stop rewriting process (see note below in common pitfalls)
• [NC] case insensitive matches
