Sometime you can easily get someone confused. I.e. a colleague who accidentally
changed the owner ship of all the directories in the /home directory of a
system (non recursive). His question: "How can I fix this?".
Our answer:
ls -ld * | xargs -n 1 -Iwithouta chown withouta:withouta withouta
or how we had to say it in words: l s space minus l d space star space pipe space
xargs space minus n space 1 space minus capital i without a space chown space
without a colon without a space without a enter.

Last week I made a small perl script to check if a file is in dos format.
You can download it

2 weeks ago I wrote about the
dblogger
script I use to log irc conversations to a database.
One of the things I use this for is to generate a rss feed of hilights I have on IRC.
A sample php script todo this can be found
here.

After a lot of complaints on IRC that I did not have an hyves account, I finally created one.
It can be found at
jnieuwen.hyves.nl. The posts from the
jeroen.se blog are also available on hyves. For the rest I still
have to send some hyves invites, and set more profile information.
So if you have a hyves account and want to be a friend on hyves, do not hesitate to send
an invite.
