Finding file extensions with AWK
This one-liner helps in finding the file extensions of a given Subversion working copy: find path_to_repos -type f | grep -v “/.svn/” | awk -F “/” ‘{print $NF}’ | awk -F “.” ‘{if (NF > 1) {print $NF}}’ | sort | uniq Its usage outside of Subversion is even more trivial.
Dear big customer
Dear big customer, two years ago I described how I would have organized a piece of your network architecture to let one of your one hundred developers divisions use Subversion properly. Now a well known company tells you they would do the same and you really appreciate their suggests as you’ve never heard them before. [...]
A patch for Joomla com_media
Once again an easy to fix bug viewed by thousands of eyes has survived for ages. Today I sent this patch to Joomla forge to fix a bug in administrator/components/com_media/admin.media.php.

This one-liner helps you to keep a mirror of a working copy of a Subversion repository without its .svn directories. It may speed up the test-modify-commit cycle: it acts like an export but it should be faster. The command is: rsync -apogz –delete –exclude=”.svn/” /working_copy/path/ /testing/point/ rsync -Dgloprtz –delete –exclude=”.svn/” /working_copy/path/ /testing/point/ Of course the [...]

knopILS cited by Wikipedia
I noticed knopILS is cited as “an excellent Italian version” in the “Variations” list of the Knoppix page of Wikipedia. Wow! I don’t know either who wrote that or when they wrote it but it’s a very pleasant discovery.
Joomla Subversion behind a proxy
This is a note about how to checkout the Joomla stable (1.0.x) Subversion repository when you are behind a proxy. I know there are many sites explaining how to do that but I was not able to find one of them with an out of the box working solution. This is my recipe. 1) Add [...]
Lexmark E232 and Kubuntu Edgy
This is a reminder for me and a note for you: the Lexmark E232 laser printer works fine with Kubuntu Edgy making it visible as Lexmark Optra E321 (Foomatic + hpijs). I use it with the Netgear Mini Print Server PS101.
Jack in the blog
After having fixed some typo on Wikipedia, I overcame my shyness and added my bits to it. I have always found funny the way the word “Jack” is used, so I added here some missing usages. It was hard to find something silly enough to be a good start but finally I have found it [...]
