Add Leading Zero and Total Tracks to Mp3s Using Mp3Tag
I was editing the id3 tags to an album the other day using Mp3Tag, and I wanted to find a way of automating the adding a leading zero and total tracks to the track id3 tag.
Example: 3 -> 03/12
Do this by creating an Action in Mp3Tag using Format Value action type with the command:
$num(%track%,2)/$num(%_total_files%,2)

Securely Wipe a Drive in Ubuntu
While getting rid of an old laptop for my in-laws, I discovered that I can wipe their hard drive easily using Ubuntu's built in command, shred.
$ shred -vfz -n 35 /dev/hda
where /dev/hda is the mount point of the unmounted hard drive.

Dell Tower with Ubunter Server
I received my free Dell Precision 340 from my brother-in-law who himself received it as a donation. Most people, I feel, don't know what to do with antiquated computers, especially towers. My first thought? Why not use it as a home server to learn more about server based applications and backup home photos and music? That's exactly what I did.
Ubuntu server was my distribution of choice because of my previous experience with Ubuntu, the countless mention of it on tech blogs, and the outstanding community support (Ubuntu forums).
I happen to have a few random hard drives sitting around the apartment. One 120 GB from my deceased Frankenstein's monster college computer, two from my sister-in-laws deceased Toshiba Qosmio, and another from who knows where. I decided to throw them into a software RAID 0 to get the maximum amount of space for backing up home photos and music.
The hardest part about setting up the server? To get the dang thing to boot up from the CD-Rom. I had only four ATA cable positions and the BIOS wouldn't allow it to boot from USB. From my recollection, I believe I had to create a Ubuntu server bootable USB, burn a CD of PLoP linux to allow the computer to boot from USB, unplug the CD-Rom from an ATA slot and then plug in the fourth hard drive. Man, it was a pain because the computer didn't always recognize the USB to boot from, and then other times it wouldn't see the fourth hard drive. Eventually, I did get it to work.
The Ubuntu server setup process and the soft raid 0 setup was a breeze after that.
Stay tuned for more Ubuntu server related posts!
Interesting article. I may have to try and set this up to wake my server remotely.
Cr-48 Chromebook
Being a Google fanboy, I was lucky enough to receive a free Google Cr-48 Chromebook as a beta tester. The computer runs ChromeOS, which I love, that simply browses the internet. Most of what we do today on the computer is cloud based (smart phones anyone?) and can be accessed through the Internet.
When I first received the chromebook, I made a conscientious effort to use it as my main computer. Guess what? It's one year later and I still use it everyday and my old Toshiba Qosmio with a dying LCD screen is still up on the closet shelf.
Flash Drive
My current flash drive that I'm using is a customized 32 GB one offered by CustomUSB and PortableApps.com. Let me tell you, it's crazy fast.
Currently, my flash drive is split into two partitions; 20 GB FAT32 and a 12 GB EXT3. The FAT32 partition houses my PA.c suite and a hidden persistent BackTrack Linux install while the EXT3 partition (labled as "casper-rw") is used as the persistent drive for BackTrack. If I'm in Windows, I can use my PA.c suite for help, and if I really need to do a recovery job, I can boot BackTrack off the USB.
PortableApps.com
I believe that ideas should be free, and like ideas, I also believe that software should be shared.
One of my favorite suites of software out there is PortableApps.com. What I like most about them is that they legally distribute software (both open source and freeware with permission) and they have a great support team.
PortableApps.com is the world's most popular portable software solution allowing you to take your favorite software with you. A fully open source and free platform, it works on any portable storage device (USB flash drive, iPod, memory card, portable hard drive, etc). With millions of users all over the world and a full collection of open source software as well as compatible freeware and commercial software and partners in the software and hardware industry, PortableApps.com is the most complete solution for life on the go.
Being a minimalist, I carry around a USB stick with a PA.c suite that supports my needs, instead of carrying around a smart phone. The suite allows me to perform my everyday tasks with ease and fix/diagnose broken computers of friends and family.
One of my contributions to the PA.c community is the packaging of ImgBurn as a portable application which can be found here.
