It’s saved my life when I’ve completely forgotten what I called a file and where I saved it.

Comment on QuickBooks Simple Start saving invoices as PDF files by shirley strachan

Thanks!! Great piece of advice….I recently installed Windows 7 after Vista Home Premium…then found that Quickbooks Easy Start 10-11 wouldn’t email client invoices as before. I kept getting an ‘error message 20′ about printer not activated when attempting to email. I downloaded the link above. Instead of using the email function which seems permanently useless now, I go to the print invoice option. Under “print invoice” I selected the cutepdf as my printer. Instead of printing the document it comes up with the “save as pdf” and “choose location to save the document in”. after saving, I then go into Windows Live Mail and attach the document for sending to my clients. It’s little bit more time consuming – but a great solution to Quickbooks Easy Start not recognising Windows Live Mail.

I have been a great fan of your vim tips for many years (wrote to you once long back). Just found your zsh and other cheats/tips. However, I am surprised that you use a Windows machine and not Linux or a Mac.
Anyway, thanks for your cheatsheets.

If you’re in the mood of trying out new stuff, I’d pop in the suggestion of trying out Propel ORM as well; but I don’t now how hard it would be to incorporate it in CakePHP. (A non issue in other frameworks I’ve used).

Ad Hoc Version Control With Git…

In my blog post “How to do Ad Hoc Version Control” I suggested Mercurial as very good DVCS to use. However, Git is good enough I suppose, having not used it yet…….

Comment on copy a file while modifying a value inside it by Bawdo

You have a UUOC[1] there.

sed will accept a file as an argument. From the man page:

sed [OPTION]… {script-only-if-no-other-script} [input-file]…
