Stop blog spam (close comment_status)

me — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 05:21:25 +0000

UPDATE `your_data_base`.`wp_posts` SET `comment_status` = ‘closed’, `ping_status` = ‘closed’ WHERE `wp_posts`.`comment_status` LIKE ‘open’

Overkill yeah… but good grief I akismet is spassing out and I just don’t have time to mess with it.

rotate laptop screen

With “xrandr -o right” you can rotate the screen and hold the laptop like a book. On my laptop my thumb can sit nicely on the up/down arrows for page turning and it feels much more natural for prolonged periods of reading. Just run “xrand -o normal” to get back to the normal screen orientation.

Mysql Dump from shell

me — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 04:23:40 +0000

I wouldn’t deploy this as is but here is a good starting point. Tweek to fit and cron.
#!/bin/bash


### MySQL Server Login Info ###

MUSER="USER"

MPASS="PASSWORD"

MHOST="localhost"

MYSQL="$(which mysql)"

MYSQLDUMP="$(which mysqldump)"
BAK="./dumps"

GZIP="$(which gzip)"
NOW=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d")
[ ! -d $BAK ] && mkdir -p $BAK/$NOW || /bin/rm -f $BAK/*
DBS="$($MYSQL -u $MUSER -h $MHOST -p$MPASS -Bse 'show databases')"
for db in $DBS

do
	FILE=$BAK/$NOW/$db.$NOW.gz

	$MYSQLDUMP -u $MUSER -h $MHOST -p$MPASS $db | $GZIP -9 > $FILE

done

CSS Shell with DIV at the bottom of the page

me — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 19:31:20 +0000

Maybe there is a better more automagic way of doing this but I couldn’t think of it. Since I’ve had to do it three times lately I thought this time I’d post it.
here is the html code:

“http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd”>

Basic Shell

Head

Body

Footer

and here is the css (less the reset.css, I use the same one all the time, you can download it below if you’d like)

body, html {
width:100%;
height:100%;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}

body {
background-color:#fff;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font-family:”Lucida Sans”, Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

#wrapper_page {
width:100%;
min-height:100%;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
border:0px solid blue;
}

#wrapper_head {
border:0px solid blue;
width:100%;
height:100px;
margin, padding:0px;
background-image:url(sprite-bg.jpg);
background-position: center top;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}

#page_head {

width:960px;
height:100px;
margin:0px auto;

}

#page_body {

width:960px;
height:100px;
margin:0px auto;

}

#wrapper_foot {

width:100%;
height:150px;
margin:-150px auto 0 auto;
background-image:url(sprite-bg.jpg);
background-position: center bottom;
background-repeat: repeat-x;

}

#page_foot {

width:960px;
height:150px;
margin:auto;

}

here is a zip with the 3 files DIV_at_bottom_of_page.zip
