If you need to delete many files with same characteristics like the same name or the same extension then you can use the find command and then rm to remove them.

So here is what I did:

find /home/ -name "*xml.gz" -print0 | xargs -0 rm

In simple language this is the following:

find: Find

/home/: all files inside the directory /home

-name "*xml.gz": which their names include the expression "*xml.gz". * is any character

-print0: and print no newline characters (\n)

|: pipe them to

xargs -0: split the output of find command and call rm command for each file

rm: remove the file told by xargs

Thats it ! Now you can remove all the files you don't want with just one command. You can also use the same technique to pipe different stuff like copying or moving files.

In my older blog post on ajax popup windows for your website you can find the reasons why you should use Ajax (javascript) popup windows.

The popup windows become more and more popular. New frameworks are developed very fast like jQuery and others. These provide the basis for the next level of ajax popup windows.

In this post I review some of the newest ajax popup windows. You can choose then which one you will install to your site.

Shadowbox.js is a very promising popup window script but it is free only for non commercial use. From the other side it's capable of displaying: images, imagemaps, videos, slideshows, flash content.

Hello,

I have a need that perhaps you can point me in the right direction with...

I would like to implement something very similar to what’s out on www.target.com or www.gap.com.

When you click a button (quick view, quick info, etc..) you get a new window with product pics and info.

Here's the link:

Question:

Do you know where I can buy Sony Rolly? For some reason google gave this link????

Answer:

Information from wikpedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolly_(Sony)):

Rolly is an egg-shaped digital robotic music player made by Sony, combining music functions with robotic dancing. It has several motors that allow it to rotate and spin, as well as two bands of LED lights running around its edge and cup-like "wings" (or "arms" according to the Sony sonystyle USA website) which can open and close on either end, all of which can be synchronized to the music being played.

Because I need to travel with my car in many places and I need to have my emails, contacts and presentations with me I thought that it could be very good to apply to my car various projects that I found around the net that will help me to advance my work and my driving experience.

1. Portable Computer

First of all we need a netbook, you know the smaller versions of notebooks. At Amazon you can find many kinds of them.

Netbooks are cheap and can do the most of your office work, play podcasts, run thunderbird and sunbird, firefox and all the other tools you need to have with you when you going to a trip.

I suggest to buy one with at least 80gb of Hard drive, 1024 or 1G Ram, and 10 inch screen because the smaller ones are not so usable (I seem to have large fingers :)

So you have your netbook huh ?

Now prepare it for your car. Buy a car charger for your netbook, to charge it while on your trip.

2. GPS Navigation System
