You know the feeling when you are trying to reinstall software on a computer…you’ve done it many times…but all of a sudden you can’t find the original DVD with the software key printed on it?
Yup. M e too.
Belarc Advisor (http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html) to the rescue. It will tell you the licenses of software already installed on the computer.
It also tells you a whole lot about your computer’s system: disk space, memory, etc.
It’s pretty simple to have your python script jump out to the debugger. Place these 2 lines right before where you want to start monitoring (otherwise, you’ll need to do a lot of stepping thru code).
import pdb
pdb.set_trace()Some useful ones to remember are:
b: set a breakpointc: continue debugging until you hit a breakpoints: step through the coden: to go to next line of codel: list source code for the current file (default: 11 lines including the line being executed)u: navigate up a stack framed: navigate down a stack framep: to print the value of an expression in the current contextSometimes it is useful to know who has committed code to your repo. Here’s a super useful “one-liner” that can show you that info quite quickly:
git log --format="%ae" | sort | uniq -cIf you need to quickly set the user and email address for a single git repo, you can do this:
git config user.email john.doe@example.com
git config user.name "John Doe"
If you want to modify the .git/config file directly, you can add in this block:
[user]
name = John Doe
email = john.doe@example.com
git config --global user.email john.doe@example.com
git config --global user.name "John Doe"

I recently upgraded my “data” drive from a 3TB to a WD Black 6TB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive – 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 128MB Cache 3.5 Inch drive.
Once I had both drives installed in the computer, it was time to copy data.
Head over to: Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt. Right click on it, and choose “Run as administrator”
xcopy f:\ e:\ /f /h /i /j /o /s /v /x 1>>c:\xferlog.txt 2>&1

Assuming that cell B2 contains a name like, Dangerfield, Rodney, here are 2 formulas you can use to create 2 cells, one with the first name, one with the last name.
For the first name:
=RIGHT(B2,LEN(B2)-FIND(",",B2)-1)
and for the last name:
=LEFT(B2,FIND(",",B2)-1)
Next, copy those formulas down thru all apllicable rows.
Lastly, highlight the 2 columsn, right-click and choose Copy.
Then right-click on an empty column head to the right, and choose: Paste Values.
What if the name is really, “last_name, first_name middle_name”, and you don’t want the middle name?
=LEFT(RIGHT(B2,LEN(B2)-FIND(",",B2)-1),FIND(" ",RIGHT(B2,LEN(B2)-FIND(",",B2)-2)))
That’s great, but what if someone does NOT have a middle name?
Then you’ll get an error.
To solve for that, need to make it even fancier:
=IF(ISERROR(LEFT(RIGHT(B2,LEN(B2)-FIND(",",B2)-1),FIND(" ",RIGHT(B2,LEN(B2)-FIND(",",B2)-2)))),RIGHT(B2,LEN(B2)-FIND(",",B2)-1),LEFT(RIGHT(B2,LEN(B2)-FIND(",",B2)-1),FIND(" ",RIGHT(B2,LEN(B2)-FIND(",",B2)-2))))
If you ever need to move one (or more) subdirectories, but not an entire site over to a new webserver, and you want to redirect the traffic, here’s how you can do it:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^directory_name(.*)$ http://www.example.com/directory_name [R=301,NC,L]
If you have multiple virtual hosts on the site, you might want to specify which host name’s directory_name should get sent to new server www.example.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^markcerv.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.markcerv.com$
RewriteRule ^directory_name(.*)$ http://www.example.com/directory_name [R=301,NC,L]
In this previous post I wrote about how to get some git branch information into your shell. That was written back when Ubuntu 12 LTS was the standard.
I recently upgraded a box to Ubuntu 16 LTS, and this information went away. 🙁
I discovered via trial and error, that the call that’s needed in .bashrc is now:
## To show you what branch you are in as you move around git repos
##
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion.d/git-prompt ]; then
. /etc/bash_completion.d/git-prompt
PS1='\[\u@\h \e[33m\]\w\[\e[0m\] $(__git_ps1 " (%s)")\n\$ '
fi
/etc/bash_completion.d/git is now: /etc/bash_completion.d/git-prompt
Sublime is an awesome editor that I’ve been using for a while at work.
Here are the steps that you might want to follow:
