I had some trouble findig out how to copy all files from all subdirectories of my music collection into one folder. The reason why I want to do this is to be able to play my music on a Playstation 3. I am presently a happy Ubuntu-user (Ubuntu 8.04 or «Hardy Heron»), and it took me some time to find a solution in the Ubuntu Forums : Open bash (a terminal) and type: find /music/path  -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -I {} cp "{}" /desitination/path/ --verbose You must obviously adapt «/music/path» and «/desitination/path/» to your needs. Please don’t ask me to explain the details of this command… (If you are moving your collection to a PS3 then you’ll have to copy all music files to one folder «MUSIC» on an external harddisk or USB pen drive. Then your PS3 will discover the music when the disk is attached to its USB-port.)

OpenDNS is a miracle. I wonder when there will be too many using their effective DNS-servers: 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 These servers respond much faster than those provided by my DSL supplier (NextGenTel, Norway). 2 kommentarer David Ulevitch sier: juni 14, 2007, kl. 2:15 am Cool man. Good to know. Feel free to email me a traceroute to 208.67.222.222 — I’m always curious to see where folks are hopping as they reach us.

Suddenly they even stopped responding, or rather they just redirected all requests to the «search engine»-thing which means «address not found».
