After one of the Ubuntu 11.10 updates I was affected by some really weird colors in the embedded flash player.

Some time ago I’ve had a problem with SVN on my VirtualBox guest Ubuntu machine. When the machine was hibernated (it’s state was saved – without shutting it down) there was a time synchronization issue. When I checked out the SVN repository on the guest machine, I couldn’t see any actual changes or new files [...]

I didn’t have to search too long, because my favorite capturing software, Wireshark, can listen on a named pipe. So, below you can find the [...]

It’s at least the third time I try to find a solution for the unavailable codecs proclem during rendering video project in Kdenlive. This time, I’ll write it down and link to this great site to make sure I’ll be able to easily find it next time ;-) The process is quite simple (I’m using [...]

I wondered why the same word has different MD5 checksum if I use the PHP md5(-) method and BASH md5sum command. What I mean is: PHP <?php echo md5(“sol”); ?> The result is: 12313a3d28f802e3a22b07d2e01c6dcf BASH $ echo “sol”|md5sum The result is: 56717d999058f0e053d4b580c9396a92 It seems that echo command is, by default, adding a newline character after [...]

If you want to create every possible word or combination of letters (or any other characters) you can use very simple BASH function: $ echo {a..c} This command will print all possible letters starting with a and ending on c (inclusive), so the result is: a b c You can get every possible combination of [...]
