Any ideas? 🙂
If you are stuck in a terminal on a Linux workstation and need to view a html file.. you can use the following command
links NAME_OF_HTML_FILE
Links displays the HTML code in the page by default..If you want to just view the rendered HTML, press “\” and you can toggle between HTML and Text views.
P.S : You need to have links installed to use it :).. But most of the new distributions have it installed by default.
Quick note to myself.. If you have a high volume transactional database and are looking to purge data from a table(s).. make sure you purge the data in small chunks. If you purge the data in larger chunks (rows), other processes trying to access the data on those tables have to go to the redo logs to access the data, since the purge job will put a lock on the table. This obviously adds latency to the queries.. So purge the data in smaller chunks (rows), forcing the database to flush the redo logs.
Five Guys, a burger chain from the east coast opened their first franchise in Chicago… If you want some fresh juicy burgers and peanuts to eat while the burger is being made, this is the place to go to. I first tasted the Five Guys burger when I was in Washington DC, a couple of years ago, on work.. I thought how cool, it would be to open one in Chicago. Looks like some enterprising entrepreneur actually took my idle thought and opened one :-).. It is located at 2140 N. Clybourn Ave.
Coming to the title of this post.. Why did I add 5 lbs of weight? These three pictures should tell you why..

Conflicts are created, conducted and sustained by human beings; they can be ended by human beings..
Then check out Futility Closet (http://www.futilitycloset.com/), a blog by Greg Ross with misc. tidbits about math, language, puzzles etc. Did you know that Karoshi means “death from overwork”.. And this is a statistic that the Japanese Government tracks annually.. See, now you are smarter than before reading this post :-)..
Ran across this story on BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/staffordshire/7845946.stm) about a women being stabbed to death by her husband because she changed her status to “single” from “married” on Facebook.. WTF????? What is wrong with people!!
Morale of the story : Be careful.. what you put up on the Internet.. :-).
P.S : As you can see.. that rule doesn’t apply to me :-).
If you have a large text file and want to quickly delete any duplicate lines, you can use the following option of sort in *nix..
sort -u filename > newfilename
If you want to get even funkier :), like only checking duplicates on a particular column, feel free to check out this link http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/sort-invocation.html#sort-invocation.
