I needed to see the changes to a folder in realtime and after a bit of looking around, i’ve found this solution:
watch -d -n 1 'df; echo " "; echo "Local folder updates:"; ls -FIAt;'
If you want to refresh at longer intervals (not 1s as it is now) all you have to do is change the value of the -n parameter as so:
watch -d -n 10 'df; echo " "; echo "Local folder updates:"; ls -FIAt;'
This will show you the changes to the current folder every 10s.
After installing the Google Talk plugin, run the following to add an override for your video settings.
sudo echo "O3D_OVERRIDE_RENDER_MODE=2D" >> /opt/google/talkplugin/envvars
Use sudo if necessary. Restart your browser after doing this and check to see if you can see video streams now.
Go to Tools -> Plugins -> Settings -> Add

I had a bunch of image files A01.jpg, A02.jpg and so forth that i needed created into a PDF. ImageMagick to the rescue:
cd /path/to/jpgs convert -define pdf:use-trimbox=true *.jpg batbox.pdf
I’ve looked into Sublime text 2 today, mostly unhappy with the speed Java based IDEs have on linux 64bit. When launching it, although I chose “keep in launcher”, the icon does not stay there, so i created a custom launcher.
Create a file sublime2.desktop and save it in ~/.local/share/applications. The file should look like this:
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open [Desktop Entry] Name=Sublime Text Editor Comment=Sublime Text Editor Exec="/usr/bin/sublime" %F MimeType=text/plain; Terminal=false Type=Application Icon=/home/mimir/sublime.png Categories=GNOME;GTK;Utility;TextEditor;Development;Utility;
You can find the link to the icon here: http://d2o0t5hpnwv4c1.cloudfront.net/1038_sublime/sublime.png
Make sure to change the Exec path, to where you have installed Sublime2. I’ve installed in /opt but i’ve symlinked in /usr/bin
While working on a ZF application, i had some models under the wrong namespace, and changing all the files from Default namespace to Application would have taken me ages. After a bit of google-ing i’ve found this great perl onliner:
perl -p -i -e 's/Default_/Application_/g' `find ./ -name '*.php'`
I do most of my work on my Ubuntu laptop but i also have one mac mini next to it so i can debug websites in Safari or iPhone/iPad. In Snow Leopard i had setup synergy server on the laptop and the client on my mac, and i could easily use laptop’s mouse and keyboard to control both machines. Here is how you can setup this:
On Ubuntu machine (server):
# install synergy 1.3.6 (other versions seem to have all sort of bugs) # if 1.3.6 is not in repo anymore, check the download page: http://synergy-foss.org/download/ sudo apt-get install synergy
Now create the server config file (you might need to adapt this according to your setup
section: screens
orion:
io.local:
ctrl = super
alt = alt
super = ctrl
end
section: options
mousebutton(7) = keystroke(control+right)
mousebutton(6) = keystroke(control+left)
end
section: links
orion:
left = io.local
io.local:
right = orion
Add this line to startup:
/usr/bin/synergys --config /home//synergy.conf -f
On Mac mini (client):
First of all, you’ll need to install brew, if you haven’t already (http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/). For that check the installation at: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/installation
After you have brew installed open a terminal and install synergy:
brew install synergy
Now create a .profile file in your home directory and add:
if [ "$(pidof synergyc)" ]
then
echo "Synergy is already started";
else
/usr/local/bin/synergyc
fi
I’ve been working with dates today and i’ve found a pretty neat snippet to show the first and the last day of the month using php
$firstDoM = date("Y-m-01"); //01 -> first day of month
$lastDoM = date("Y-m-t"); //t -> last day of month
If by some unknown reason IE8/9/10 are rendering your site in compatibility mode, ie IE7 mode or something lame like that, just force it to use the latest engine available:
note that the code added right before the doctype declaration. the using_ie() boolean function below (credits to Simeon for this solution: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-browser.php#101314)
function using_ie()
{
$u_agent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
$ub = False;
if(preg_match('/MSIE/i',$u_agent))
{
$ub = True;
}
return $ub;
}
Here is an easy way to return all the products from a magento store.
$collection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')
->getCollection()
->addAttributeToSelect('*');
foreach ($collection as $product) {
echo $product->getName() . "
";
}
