Ubuntu on LENOVO ThinkPad Edge Dual-Core
This is a work in progress
Most stuff works out of the box. The main issue is getting wifi to work without issues.
I've used Ubuntu 10.04 with most stuff working nicely for a while, until I got a hard drive issue (I replaced the hard drive with a 60GB SSD). Now I'm running 10.10. Apart from /etc I didn't make a backup of my setup so I have to figure out things again - and I'll keep track of that on this page.

Recursively create lowercase symlinks to filenames with uppercase letters - in Python
I'm working on a project to convert a big ASP website into Drupal. On Windows OSes there is not really a distinction between upper and lower case characters in filenames. At first I thought to just leave the capitals, but on web pages links were sometimes with capitals and sometimes lowercase. So I added some stuff to the Apache configuration, usually inside the VirtualHost directive (this does not work in .htaccess):
<
pre>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteMap lc int:tolower
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} [A-Z]
wik2dict
wik2dict is a tool I wrote in Python. It converts MediaWiki SQL dumps into the DICT format.

A job?! And, time tracking in Drupal?
