Set Firefox's Scroll-wheel Speed
UPDATE:
  1. Type about:config in Firefox’s address bar
  2. Type: mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y in the filter box
  3. Change mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y’s value to 200 if you want to double it. I use 400.

1. Type about:config in firefox address bar 2. Optional Type: mousewheel.withnokey in the filter box 3. Set mousewheel.withnokey.sysnumlines to false This makes Firefox use its own setting instead of the system-wide setting.

4. Change mousewheel.withnokey.numlines to how many lines you want to scroll at a time. I use 8

Print Only What You Need From a Web Page

The following resources allow you to edit any web page and print only what you need to save paper and/or ink.

  • Bookmarklets To use a bookmarklet, you need to bookmark it; either drag it to your bookmark toolbar or right click the link and choose bookmark this. Next, when you visit a web page you would like to edit, click on that new bookmark. My favorite one is PrintWhatYouLike, there is no extension to install and it is a very easy and efficient.

Linux Mass Rename Recursively using a Bash Script

This example Bash script replaces “.JPG” with “.jpg” recursively in the current directory (It can handle filenames with spaces):

#!/bin/bash

find ./ -type f -name "*.JPG" | while read FILE
do
newname=echo $FILE | sed s/.JPG/.jpg/
echo $newname
mv "$FILE" "$newname"
done

Convert all characters to lowercase:

#!/bin/bash

find ./ -type f -name "*" | while read FILE
do
newname=echo $FILE | tr 'a-z' 'A-Z'
echo $newname
mv "$FILE" "$newname"
done

Compare four columns in Open Office or Excel

For example, you have 2 sheets, Sheet1 and Sheet2: they both have a list of part numbers in column A and a list of prices in column B. You want to compare the prices for the same part numbers in each sheets. One way to do this is to copy the prices from Sheet1 to Sheet2 in a third column and then use conditional formatting to highlight the different prices:

Copy this formula in cell C2 of Sheet2 (and then drag it down to the cells below):

=INDEX($Sheet1.A$2:B$3001;MATCH(A2;$Sheet1.A$2:A$3001;0);2)

This formula assumes that there is a maximum of 3000 different products in Sheet1 (starting at cell A2).

Program allows you to combine multiple renaming actions as a rule set, applying each action in a logical sequence, which can be saved, loaded, and managed within the program. In addition, it has an ability to rename folders, process regular expressions, Unicode capable, and supports variety of meta tags, such as: ID3v1, ID3v2, EXIF, OLE, AVI, MD5, CRC32, and SHA1.”

PDFCreator Virtual Printer nostringval Error Fix

Sometimes, when you print to PDF using PDFCreator, you can get the following error on the last page of your PDF output: “ERROR: undefined […] OFFENDING COMMAND:_ […] STACK: [….]”

You can fix this problem following these instructions:

First, you must Rollback to PDFCreator 0.9.3 (unless a newer version then 0.9.5 is out).

Find the PDFCreator printer in the Printer and Faxes control panel. Right-click on it and select Properties:

Select the Advanced tab:

and select Print directly to the printer (this prevents spooling the PDF output to the disk twice). Now select the Device Settings tab:

and set Send CTRL-D After Each Job to No. Also change the Wait Timeout to 1 seconds:

Thanks to David Taft, Brent Powers and http://www.stat.tamu.edu/~henrik/GSWriter/GSWriter.html.

PS: If PDFCreator truncates, trims or cuts filenames, make sure the path is not too deep. Try copying your files to the root folder and see if it fixes the problem.

Note: I re-posted this solution with different keywords because I had a hard time finding it because it was specific to GhostScript/Redmon.
