What is this?
Hi, my name is Tom Lazar and I'm a Plone and Zope developer based in Berlin, Germany and this is my personal and professional (no big difference, really...) website.
 

*NIX

Learning new stuff is what keeps a geek going and *NIX just keeps on providing ;-)

Today I needed to get rid of several gigabytes of superfluous backups distributed among multiple subfolders and I thought it would be nice to pull it off with just a single command using wildcards and whaddayaknow? It worked just as I wished:

rm /opt/zope/backups/*/2005-09-*

deleted them all in one fell swoop ;-) Gotta remember that one...
