I am planning on trying out iptables string match support at some point soon and have found this nice HOWTO on getting it compiled into your kernel

Nice examples of multi column css layout here (Broken link http://www.bluerobot.com/web/layouts/)

While researching css I’ve found this (Broken link http://devedge.netscape.com/library/xref/2003/css-support/) useful site with an amazingly useful css browser support chart (Broken link http://devedge.netscape.com/library/xref/2003/css-support/)

never remember this

LIMIT=15
a=1

cd $SRC
for filename in *
do
  if  (( a <= LIMIT ))
  then
   mv "$filename" "$TARG"
  ((a += 1))
  fi
done

Justin sent over a regex he wrote for catching the various bits of a url:

(http|ftp):\/\/((?:[^./]+\.){1,}(?:[^./]+))((?:/[^/]+)*/)([^/]+)\.([^./]+)

I need to parse ftp xferlogs and our current regex was broken by spaces in uploaded filenames. Have fixed it, is shown below with the names of the fields.

$_ =~ /^(\w{3} \w{3} \s?\d\d? \d\d:\d\d:\d\d \d{4})
                (\d\d?)(\S+) (\d+) (.+) ([ab]) (_|C|U|T) (i|o)
                (a|g|r) (\w+) (\w+) (0|1) (\w+|\*) ([c|i])$/o;

        $current_time = $1;
        $transfer_time = $2;
        $remote_host = $3;
        $byte_count = $4;
        $filename = $5;
        $transfer_type = $6;
        $special_action_flag = $7;
        $direction = $8;
        $access_mode = $9;
        $username = $10;
        $service_name =$11;
        $authentication_method = $12;
        $authenticated_user_id=$13;
        $completion_status = $14;

I recently needed a list of Tube and DLR station postcodes but couldn’t find one anyway. I ended up having to screen scrape a couple of sites, but now I have a list. Thanks to Paul Berry who commented on this post with a postcode for Heron Quays.

Update February 2019

After this file was moved around a couple of times and the link broken I finally made a Git repo for it which you can find here.

Found a nice page with pictures of SCSI connectors. I never remember which one I need…

To add a static route to modern RedHat distributions you need to do the following:

Assuming you want to add a route to the 192.168.1.0/24 network via the eth0 network interface to the gateway at 172.16.254 you would create a file called /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0 and in that file put the route:

192.168.1.0/24 via 172.16.1.254

Either ifdown and ifup the interfaces or reboot to see the changes.

Of course you could just add the route manually until the next boot:

route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 172.16.1.254 dev eth1

Ells posted a nice site which details some of the features of screen, here (Broken link http://cosmic.homeunix.net/blog/old/00000018.html)
