LDP
is an awesome LDAP utility. I used it in a time of need to find properly-formatted LDAP strings. Certainly worth using. And it’s free!

On uniq and sort
Posted by Harv in Linux, Quick Tips, Scripting on December 30, 2009
Here’s a quick tip for anyone using linux.
I ran into a situation tonight where I needed to consolidate a list of URL’s. The URL’s were from different sources but served the same purpose, so it was quite likely that duplicates were present. Assuming you’ve pasted the URL’s, one on each line, into the file list
cat list | sort | uniq > list-unique
Uniq returns only the unique entries, but requires a sorted list going in.
Alternately, if you want to see how many occurances of each URL:
cat list | sort | uniq | sort

Speeding up your PC
Posted by Harv in Quick Tips, Utilities, Windows on December 30, 2009
Quite often, a client will ask me to speed up their PC.
More times than not, they will be running Windows XP, with Office, some pictures, music, email. Here are the tools and process I use when I get these requests. Keep in mind that usually they don’t want this to be a big deal- an hour or two. So this is a very general “bang-for-buck” way of doing a general cleanup. Onward!

When I opened it to find the keys, I did something a bit counter-intuitive.. I placed them in the dryer.
Here’s what you need to know about electronics and water damage!
