Over at http://fepus.net/ruby1line.txt you can find an awesome collection of ruby 1-liners. Here are some samples:

# align all text flush right on a 79-column width

    $  ruby -ne 'printf("%79s", $_)' < file.txt

# center all text in middle of 79-column width
    $  ruby -ne 'puts $_.chomp.center(79)' < file.txt
    $  ruby -lne 'puts $_.center(79)' < file.txt

# substitute (find and replace) "foo" with "bar" on each line
    $  ruby -pe 'gsub(/foo/, "bar")' < file.txt

# substitute "foo" with "bar" ONLY for lines which contain "baz"
    $  ruby -pe 'gsub(/foo/, "bar") if $_ = /baz/' < file.txt

# substitute "foo" with "bar" EXCEPT for lines which contain "baz"

$ ruby -pe ‘gsub(/foo/, "bar";) unless $_ =~ /baz/' < file.txt

still not working for me…

If you end up getting this error message:

The path "/usr/src/linux/include"; is a kernel header file directory, but it
does not contain the file "linux/version.h"; as expected. This can happen if
the kernel has never been built, or if you have invoked the "make mrproper";
command in your kernel directory. In any case, you may want to rebuild your
kernel.

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

# cd /usr/src/kernels/YOUR_KERNEL_VERSION/include/linux

1. cp utsrelease.h version.h

Woohoo, my Macbooks internal HDD (Hitachi Deathstar… oh… I'm sorry… Hitachi Deskstar) somehow broke. While browsing the net, everyhing froze and I had to reboot. Rebooting resultet in a "couldn't read yadda yadda"; message after 20 seconds and nothing happened after that, it just looped.

It wasn't a headcrash, it was just… well… I don't really know what it was, something broke and I'll get a new HDD :).

Anywhoooooo, luckily I've got a nice 750 GB HDD on my Airport Extreme which my macbook pushed Timemachine backups to until the bitter end. I used the backup made 2 hours before the disc went down the crapper and restored it on a 60 GB 2,5" SATA disc I still had in an external enclosure (1,3 GB of the 60 GB are still free).

What can I say, everything worked 0_o

I'm still searching for things that don't work, but so far, everything is there. The only thing that's missing is the Spotlight-index which is being rebuilt as we speak (wouldn't make any sense backing the index up anyway…)

Update: now that was unexpected:

It doesn't feel right just yet…

Track2RSS is a nice project that allows you to track UPS (Fedex, USPS) packets via RSS.

For the german DHL stuff I usually use trackntrace which will send you email updates

Thanks to Pat for pointing me at refcardz

As they like to call it "FREE Cheatsheets for Developers";.

4-5 Pages of free PDF giving you an overview of a lot of topics, starting from Ajax, continuing at Windows Power shell and also covering topics such as Design Patterns.

Go get'em while they're hot! :D

p.s. if you don't want to click though all of those sites to get them all, I might be able to share it in wua.la ;)

Apparently yes…

(T-Mobile simply sent it back and said "It's working fine";)

presented at the Library of Congress, June 23rd 2008. This was tons of fun to present. I decided to forgo the PowerPoint and instead worked with students to prepare over 40 minutes of video for the 55 minute presentation. This is the result.
