I've tried following instructions found on the 'net for turning on the NumLock key at startup in KDE. Only problem; I don't have the keyboard element installed for some reason. So I'm trying the KDM solution;

Edit /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup. Add the following lines;

if [ -x /usr/bin/numlockx ]; then
/usr/bin/numlockx on
fi

Not that I can blame developers for wanting to do a little advertising in their Open Source creations distributed under the GNU Public license, but it can be bit troublesome.

I have 3 sites where I've installed !JoComment 4.0 alpha3 by Compojoom.com. All three sites started to receive hits for the phrase "Powered by !JoComment". That's not exactly one of the terms I was hoping to get ranked in the search engines. Needless to say, I started looking for ways to remove it.

I've been working on a project using php executed from the command line. The project downloads files via FTP from several sources, renames the files and tosses the files into a new directory structure. I never thought I'd find a legitmate reason to create a "file scrounger".

Throughout development I've been executing the script from the command line to test and debug. Happily building the app step by step. Once it was complete I thought I'd just be able to execute it from a cron job on my Linux box and be done with it. Boy, was I wrong!!!

The location of a user's crontab file, in Linux, varies from distribution to distribution. It can even vary in different releases of a distribution. In Ubuntu (and variants) for release 9.04 the location is;

/var/spool/cron/crontabs

The user's crontab will be titled by the user's name.
