recursively add directory and files to cvs from Linux.

Go to the directory which you want to add to cvs and execute the following:

cvs login

find . -type d -exec cvs add {} \;

find . -type f -exec cvs add {} \;

cvs commit

That was simple 🙂

Afraid Dynamic DNS client in Fedora with Email indicating the changed to original IP.

If you have your domain in the Dynamic DNS located at : <a href="http://freedns.afraid.org">Freedns then you know how difficult it is to get the Dynamic DNS client to work with Fedora. Not that it does not work, but you need to configure it properly and there are lot of parameters. But not any more. Now you can install the afraid Dynamic DNS client and just put your Account Hash in the config file and you are ready with the setup to update the DNS entry whenever your IP changes. So lets get started:

F12 Wallpaper Sprinting

I’ve been working with Jon McCann, Charlie Brej, Nicu Buculei, Jeremy Perry, María Leandro, and Ian Weller’s help and critique the past few days on trying to come up with a slicker version of the F12 background for the final. 1 newly color-managed Thinkpad, 4 Gimp brushes, several CC-BY and CC-BY-SA textures from Flickr, 2 dozen SLR photos of shower water, and <a href="http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/art/f12/oct%2020/">62 mockups later… this is what we have so far. Please let me know what you think. We are working to get it packaged by this coming Tuesday so we can make it, and be awesome while we’re at it. If you have any suggestions or modifications you’d like to propose please reply here or on design-team at lists dot fedoraproject dot org.

Jokes – many to be downloaded once..

All work and no fun makes Jack dull boy. So lets do something for fun. Here is a one liner I wrote sometime back.  The original idea is not mine and I don&#8217;t remeber where I got the idea from but it was some other one liner that I was browsing for some oracle query. Anyway here&#8217;s the one liner to get lot of jokes in one file.

#!/bin/bash
for i in `echo 000{0..9} 00{10..99} 0{100..999} {1000..1600}` ; do links -dump http://www.robsjokes.com/$i/index.html | sed &#8217;/Random Joke/,/Next Joke/!d&#8217; | sed &#8217;/^$/,/^$/!d&#8217; » ~/Rob.jokes ; echo &#8217;%&#8217; » ~/Rob.jokes ;echo $i; done

Bugzilla Automation with perl — add, update or query any bug in Bugzilla using perl and www series modules for perl.

Today I was trying to do some queries and see if I could create a new bug or update a existing bug in the Bugzilla. The one that I was trying to access was on version 2.0 and not on 3.0. This being the case, the XMLRPC interface was not working properly and to top it all, I was wanted to query quite a lot of bugs. So, I went out to evaluate how to avoid the manual work and get this done faster. Here&#8217;s some of my findings:

bash script to change vim colorscheme based on the available themes

Here&#8217;s one script that you may find useful. A little variation or wrapper for this script can make your life colorful 🙂
