Why?

Not anything major, but I wanted to figure out how to make my apache server re-write the URL of my site if someone came to http://fratm.com I wanted the server to dump them on http://www.fratm.com so basically how to do a all encompassing redirect from fratm.com to www.fratm.com It was quite easy actually, by using ReWriteRules.

In an htaccess file I just added this code.

Mainly posting this so I have a place to refer people to get to the links to my pictures from the trip.. So here are the links.. Enjoy :)

The other day the boss asked me to find the e-mail address of every person who has sent mail from or that we received mail from that had a specific string in the e-mail address.. So I wrote this quick little perl script to do this.. He wanted a count and a unique list.

Here is the PERL script I wrote to do this.

This is a perl script that you can call from /etc/aliases to do a spamassassin check on mail that would normally be piped to a program. (Mailing lists for example.)

In linux setting up a virtual interface is a piece of cake. You just need to issue two commands, and you are done.

first you need to assign an ip to the cirtual interface.

I read an interesting article the other day, basically they stated that they challenge any programmer who applies to work with them to write a fizzbuzz program. This is a program that counts from 1 to 100, prints the numbers but if the number is divisible by 3 or divisible by five it would print the words fizz for 3, and buzz for 5.

A coworker asked me how to toggle a column in a table so that it was either visible or not, he wanted to do this in PHP. After looking over his code, I realized this might be something that would work and look better if done in javascript.

Now I'm not very good at javascript, and I rarely have to write any, but this is what I came up with as a working example.

Not really related to privacy or security, but I sometimes forget this command, and need to look it up. This way, I'll know exactly where to find it:

To make an ISO from your CD/DVD, place the media in your drive but do not mount it. If it automounts, unmount it.

This is kind of obfuscated, the blaugh daily comic went under, but I wanted to document the code I wrote to support this on your page, it may be useful for another site someday, or who knows my Chris Pirillo will bring back Blaugh, it was a good web comic..

Here is the PHP I wrote to display the daily Blaugh Comic on my site..
