I have started to play rugby in France in 2002 at my engineering school (ECE Paris). My school team was called "XV du Camion". I played only one short season, 2002-2003.
Then I played for 4 years at ESNanterre in the suburb of Paris. I was a 2nd row and a prop.

How to delete empty lines with vi?
Just type this in:

Bash supports a surprising number of string manipulation functions.
For example if you want to get rid of the beginning of the name of a file or a folder on many files at a time you could do the following:
bash> ls
mylongfile1
mylongfile2
mylongfile3
mylongfile4
mylongfile5
mylongfile6
mylongfile7
bash> for i in *
> do
> mv $i ${i:6}
> done
bash> ls
file1
file2
file3
file4
file5
file6
file7So to extract the end of a variable after a NUMBER of characters you just need to specify ${variable:NUMBER}

They are so good that you can actually recover almost instantly from a blister. If there is blister forming under your foot, that’s where Compeed is the best, when the blister is not there yet but you know that if you go on for another 10 minutes it will turn into a blister.

Reading Time: 2 minutesI spent Jun-Dec 2010 in Dallas, Texas and for Thanksgiving I decided to enroll to the Turkey trot with my wife and my good buddy Jim.
It was a 5Km small race and it gave me the virus of running.
I completed it in 29min which is not too bad.
The atmospher was great, lot’s of people cheering, everyone happy, I loved it.
I thought I should get to a longer distance in order to enjoy the same feeling for a longer period. How about a 10K? Let’s make it 21K… Half Marathon.

Reading Time: < 1 minute On Redhat you would simply look for the file /etc/inittab and locate the line that says:
# The default runlevel. id:3:initdefault:
Simply replace the 3 with 2 or 4 or 5 depending what you wanna do in order to change the default runlevel.
On Ubuntu starting from some version around 6sh… whatever, no one is running that anymore anyway and those who do run it don’t need to change that. At the time I am writing this the current LTS is 10.04 and the current testing release is 10.10
So here is how to do it.

You need to setup the package mailutils.
apt-get install mailutils
Then you can send an email using the command line:
ls | mail blabla@gmail.com
