For example all these audio files below belong to CD 1. At the moment the file name does not tell you that. I am going to rename so that when you look at the file name it will tell you what disc it belongs to.
01 Track 1.wma
02 Track 2.wma
03 Track 3.wma
04 Track 4.wma
Here is a bash script to do this. You must be in the directory that contains the files you want to rename.

Over the weekend I met 2 java developers that knew their java. They were working on ideas to do with a website and an android application. They were in charge of designing the the backend of the services. The website and android application would connect to this back end. Instead of writing the back in J2EE they decided to write it in python for performance. Python can execute faster on the server than java.
I have now started learning python to see how much better it is at performance compared to java and php for backend support.

At the moment I am sitting in room with 70 people I am going to spend the next 3 days with. Why am I am going to spend these 3 days with strangers? It because these people want to spend the weekend making a difference in their lives.
In an hour I am going to hear 17 pitches for ideas. 17 people have come to make their vision come true. They come with these ideas because either do not have the technical or business knowledge to change their idea in to reality. I am going to help one of these people turn their vision into a product they can interact with.

I have been working on my own linux distro for a whlie. It is not from complete scratch. I do not know how long it would take to make my own C compilier. I have used open source packages and combined them together to make my distro.I did my work in VMware player so I did not need 2 computers. It made it easier aswell because I could suspend my work and return back to it with out having to setup everything again. if you use a phyical computer then when you shut down it is a bit of work to arrive to same point in the setup.

Ever wonder at the end of the day where the time went and what you used that time for? Well now you can record snippets of what you do during the day on the computer. If you can see how much time you waste on facebook, digg and other waste of time sites you might start to notice a pattern.
The only way to get more productive is to know what bad habbits makes you unproductive. Feedback is the breakfast of champions.

When I was converting over to linux I was not sure that I would get everything from my windows operating system. Instead of just deleting it I thought it would be better to make it in to a VMware image so if I needed a windows operating system then I could use it in VMWare player in Debian.
