Change uppercase filenames to lowercase
I needed to rename a handful of image files from my iPhone from all uppercase letters to lowercase. I did this in a bash shell in Fedora linux. Here's how I did it:
[dacaprice@fedora10]$ for i in `ls *JPG` do mv $i `echo $i | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'` done
Hacking Aerogarden seed pods
A few years ago I received an Aerogarden by Aerogrow as a Christmas gift. I love to cook so growing my own fresh herbs seemed like a great idea. My only real complaint was the cost of the replacement seed pods. So naturally I began to look for a way to make my own seed pods. I was inspired by a blog post I saw on Jung's Weblog. Jung is really into aeroponics and growing and cooking with her own veggies. Here is what I did:
I had to order a new pump which arrived today. I'll update in a few weeks if I get some growth.
iPhone Update 3.1.3 Problem
I've recently updated to the latest iPhone 3.13 software that claimed to have fixed some battery issues brought on by the previous 3.1.2 version. While I didn't think I was having any battery problems, I gave it a shot. BIG MISTAKE. I would advise anyone who is NOT having any problems with the 3.1.2 version software to stay right where there are. Even with little or no use in a day, I find my battery drained more than half way. With the previous software I could sometime go a day without recharging. I hope Apple fixes this soon. It seems I am not the only one with the complaint either.
Attention HSBC customers
Recently someone uploaded malicious code to my site in an attempt to steal your HSBC customer account info. I was notified of the breach, removed the software right away and patched the vulnerabilities in my sites code. Please forward any suspicious emails you received to your banks fraud department.
Most recent migraines.
Somehow or another, I managed to get migraines 2 out of the last 3 weeks after hockey. I've been stretching regularly, seeing the chiropractor and massage therapist at least once a month. It is frustrating considering the months past I've had no migraines. I haven't changed my diet or exercise habits recently, however, work has been significantly more stressful; working over-nights, increased workload and responsibilities etc.
The first migraine I just dealt with; no meds, no ice, no massage, I just waited it out. The second mirgraine, I tried the same approach as the first, except I massaged and stretched my neck myself. I massaged my neck by folding my hands behind my neck (like I was praying) and used my thumbs to massage both sides of my neck. This significantly helped with the pain. At some point it felt as if the pain went away. Unfortunately I could only massage my own neck for so long. Regardless, the amount of time I was able to spend massaging significantly reduced the overall pain I was feeling.
It seems I keep my stress in my neck and stretching might not cut it for preventing these migraines. Moving forward, I'm going to try and add the self-neck massage into my normal routine to see how that helps.
