If your working on a coding project and your submitting it to version control, heres how to remove the meta-schmeg that OS X leaves around:
find . -name '*.DS_Store' -type f -delete

On a Unix/Mac you can use:

So I just discovered that Leopard comes with a version of Ruby on Rails (RoR) pre-installed. The only problem is its a bit dated but there is a command-line one-liner to update it all no sweat with RubyGem (the Ruby package manager):

Actually taken from the JS v1.4 Guide and modified to be a little more useful:
function showme(obj, obj_name) {

var null_list = "";
obj_name = (obj_name != '')? obj_name: 'obj';
for (var i in obj) {
if(obj[i] != null && obj[i] != '')
result += obj_name + "." + i + " = " + obj[i] + "\n";
else
null_list += i + ", ";
}
return result + "\n NULL propertys: \n" + null_list;
}
Pass it an object you want to see the properties of and it will show them to you. Like so:
alert(showme(item[i]));

I have about 6 different WordPress installs on my host. One for me, one for my company TSD and 3-4 for friends and family on sub domains. The issues I have with it are:
- Upgrading is a pain

- Gets worse for every new blog I install
So I tried to modify the WP code so that it could be installed (and upgraded) in one place and then used for many blogs on the same server. I found out that as it stands WP‘s design doesn’t scale very well. I guess it wasn’t meant to, but when you work with it you get the feeling it could…

Just figured out this regular expression to remove all tables from a HTML document:
</?table[^>]*>|</?tr[^>]*>|</?td[^>]*>|</?thead[^>]*>|</?tbody[^>]*>
Extremely useful for cleaning up prehistoric mark-up with a text editor that supports regular expression find-and-replace searches.
And to go all the way, this one removes font tags too:
</?table[^>]*>|</?tr[^>]*>|</?td[^>]*>|</?thead[^>]*>|</?tbody[^>]*>|</?font[^>]*>
