Charles Nadeau: My SoftwareComments and observations related to the usage and installation of softwares on my systems.Copying and backing up under Linux- April 26, 2003 Backing up with tar and ssh. bbum: I found myself in a situation where I really needed to copy some files from a remote OS X box to my local system, but the only access I had was via SSH. Unfortunately, the files all have resource forks that contain pertinent information. You can probably do this all at once: ssh remote.server.com -c 'gnutar cvp file1 file1rsrc file2 file2rsrc file3 file3rsrc' gnutar -x -v -p --overwrite Here are some other handy ones: - back up a remote...http://radio.weblogs.com/0111823/categories/mySoftware/2003/04/26.html#a276 Back Up Exec 8.6 incompatible with Adobe Premiere 6.0- April 26, 2003 While backing up with Veritas Back Up Exec 8.6, it is impossible to either capture or render with Adobe Premiere 6.0: tried 4 times, crashed the machine 4 times...http://radio.weblogs.com/0111823/categories/mySoftware/2003/04/26.html#a275 MSDN newsfeed- April 17, 2003 MSDN Magazine RSS feed.

I just bumped into an Anti-Spam tool that actually seems to work. It has caught 100% of the Spam coming into my In-box for the last 48 hours without ANY interaction on my part. It is an Outlook Add-in so it is seamless (no external program to scrub your email first, nothing server side required). This was something I've wanted for a while now. And at $0.00, the price is just right. :) Check out SpamNet from Cloudmark. .NET Weblogs I am using it since..http://radio.weblogs.com/0111823/categories/mySoftware/2003/04/11.html#a271 "Null or empty"'s neat trick- April 10, 2003 NullOrEmptyString.

My two picks for the NCAA Finals came true. Let's see if Kansas wins tonight. Okay, this bit of code iterates through a loop, running a stored procedure for each pass. The only item that differs from the normal use of a stored procedure is the line that reads objComm.Parameters.Clear(). Without this line, the parameters would continue to be added and not reset as they should be.

Craig Andera Building an Array A question that comes up occasionally on the mailing lists revolves around how to manipulate arrays of things. The problem is that once created, arrays can't change size. But what if you don't necessarily know how big it'll be right off the bat. Here's my favorite way to deal with arrays. ArrayList al = new ArrayList(); for (loop over some set of things) &123; al.Add(thing); &125; Thing things = ...http://radio.weblogs.com/0111823/categories/mySoftware/2003/04/05.html#a261 Free ASP.NET hosting- April 5, 2003 .NET hosting for free. http:www.dotnetplayground.com Great for testing stuff!
