Real Linux User ☛ RapidRAW Basics – How to cull your photographs
At the end of the day, after a nice photo session in the woods or a professional photo portrait shoot, many of us can’t wait to get back home, sit down behind our computer, plug in our memory card, and start working on the new images we have captured. The first step is usually downloading and organizing these images in our photo library, like I have explained in my previous article. And now you maybe want to start to edit your images, but before you begin, there’s an important stage that often determines the quality of your final collection: decide which photographs are keepers and which aren’t worth keeping. This process of assessing your photographs is called culling. In this tutorial, I will explain how to cull your photographs in RapidRAW and what tools you have available to support this process.

Markup from Hell ☛ Hell is other people's markup - HTMHell
The markup might have been structurally fine, but it really took some effort to discern that that was the case. I had to go through various passes to work out what I was actually looking at to be able to make sense of things. The frustration led me to create the HTML De-crapulator, a tool that I would use many, many times in audits that I carried out for years after. But ... I still felt it could be more useful.
The HTML De-Crapulator can provide many ways to simplify markup, such as: [...]
University of Toronto ☛ The annoyances of the traditional Unix 'logger' program
The venerable 'logger' command has been around so long it's part of the Single Unix Specification (really, logger — log messages). Although syslog(3) is in 4.2 BSD (along with syslog(8), the daemon), it doesn't seem to have been until 4.3 BSD that we got logger(1), with more or less the same arguments as the POSIX version. Unfortunately, if you want to do more than throw messages into your syslog and actually create well-formed, useful syslog messages, 'logger' has some annoyances and flaws.
The flaw is front and center in the manual page and the POSIX specification, if you read the description of the -i option carefully: [...]
