Backuppc just saved my behind

Monday, January 7th, 2008

Rule #1 - don’t do a wordpress upgrade when jet lagged after a 20 hr flight from India

Having violated rule #1, I was very happy to remember that I’m doing nightly backups of that environment with backuppc.  60 seconds later I restored the themes directory for dague.net with about 4 clicks in backuppc, and all was well again.  2 hours of monotonous work redoing my theme customization avoided… yay!

Stupid Mutt Tricks

Monday, January 7th, 2008

Key bindings for the Mutt email project that I should have known a long time ago, but only recently figured out:

  • D - delete messages matching some term
  • T - tag messages matching some term

These make it a lot easier to purge out all the mass email bits that very quickly become noise when trying to catch up on 2.5 weeks worth of email.
