• How to delete a specific file recursively. This is particularly useful for getting rid of things like .svn folders. find . -name .svn -exec rm -rf {} \;


• How to connect to your mysql db as root 'mysql -uroot mysql'

Linux Lotus Notes

It's bad enough to have to use Lotus Notes, at least spare me from Windows.
Ubuntu/Kubuntu "Dapper Drake" has been released and I'm running it on my work laptop. One program I could live without but can't work without is Lotus Notes. Fortunately Notes runs under Wine, and I've been using it that way for about 4 months. All was well until yesterday when I upgraded from the Breezy Badger to the Dapper Drake. The new version of wine included broke Notes.
