"Cash loans have turn out to be very popular among working Americans who are currently experiencing short-term cash-flow difficulties and urgently need cash before next pay date. While these short term cash advances bear a high interest rate with all of them, they are often the best option for customers who want to pay other responsibilities such as credit cards, rent/mortgages, car payments, and bounced checks. Almost all of these types of bills carry steep late payment fees with them that can quite easily be more expensive than a finance charge on cash advances.

Wrote a little one-liner for the countdown (or count-up rather) to Epoch time being 1234567890
It shows Current count, seconds left, and the target.

while sleep 1; do NOW=`date +%s`; let CD=1234567890-$NOW; let HOUR=$CD/60/60; let MIN=$CD/60%60; let SEC=$CD%60; printf "$NOW $HOUR:$MIN:$SEC ($CD seconds) until 1234567890 \r"; done

Enjoy it, while it lasts!... :-)

I had the fortune to work as Oracle DBA for a while in a place where we had no administrative tools at all, so we had to do with good ol' sqlplus.
Here are two scripts, the first to check size and usage of all tablespaces and the other is for checking data files sizes and names.

I was directed to a link with some seriously impressive batch-coding.

This guy uses the very limited commands in batch programming to create a PI-calculator. Amazing.

I also recommend following the links in that post.

Today I had to reset the password on a HP9000 GSP (Guardian Service Processor), here is how to do it:

Log on as root at the console:

# stty +resetGSP < /dev/GSPdiag1

You will be prompted to press 'p' after a short while, do so, and then press ctrl-b and log on to the GSP using a blank user and password.

Just a simple script echoing "Hello World".


#!/bin/bash
if [ "$USER" = "root" ]
then
echo "Hello world"
fi


This is the first message on unix.st. I will try and write a summary of what I wish to achive with this site aswell as trying to finish all the little kinks im not satisfiied with yet.

Right now I'm actually experimenting with looks, themes and functions to try and achieve a webpage with the looks and feel of that one inside my head.

Bringing fantasy to reality. Quite a challenge.
