Well, I had about finished the SysAdmin Purity Test when I accidentally reloaded my browser. It was still enjoyable to see all the questions. I estimate I said yes to around half of them.
I had forgotten about wuarchive.wustl.edu.
To get a list of all the file types in a directory structure…
find . -type f | perl -lne ‘print $1 if m|([^.]+)$|’ | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
I just turned off deep-linking (direct linking) to images on johnborwick.com, with this handy article on preventing image theft. Thanks!

Yay! Konfabulator is now free! I’m using it once again, but its “What to Do?” widget was depressing me: it kept saying “You Have Nothing To Do” in the corner, but really that’s not the case.
Fixed like so:
find ~/Documents/Widgets/ -name ‘What To Do.kon’ -print0 |
xargs -0 perl -i -pe ’s|”You Have Nothing To Do”|”No Tasks”|g’
(The -print0/-0 is really important, and a cool trick, because it lets you use xargs with files that have spaces in their names.)
It looks like I finally may have to upgrade or replace moveable type here on the website. I can’t delete the redundant post I just made.
I checked back in with everything2.com, my on-again off-again favorite website, and found a writeup about The Secret Connections Between Harry Potter and Star Wars.
I also read some good potential spoilers for book seven in the w/u for book six.
