I like learning about data structures, object models and design patterns. My goal is to apply these such a way as to render the seemingly-ordinary extraordinarily. I enjoy seeing how other people do the same.

I live and work in New York and Maryland. I spend most of my time with Python and GNU/Linux.

comment DLL could not be run for MSI installers
Yeah, that makes more sense than giving the permission to Everyone :-). Anyway, I wonder what the underlying cause of this problem may be. I was having trouble with several installers, including the iTunes installer—a very popular installer! I wonder what happened that broke permissions on that directory.

comment SCP recursive transfer order
How could such an approach be extended to transfer files individually instead of in an archive? Would a loop iterating over results from sort in the bar remote command somehow accomplish this?

Yes, it appears the correct switch is -L. Yikes. Thank you!

comment dpkg -S not showing all files in package
Yeah, I have have been confused by the man entry. So, when -S appears to be listing package contents, it's really just listing files in packages that match the path-spec I'm providing?

Thanks Nicole. Those are nice, and I also like cd ..; chmod -R [MODE] /directory

comment Bash path glob matching dotfiles and parent in pwd
Thanks. Then, how might I change ownership/permissions on all the files and directories in a homedir recursively, without recursing into ... I mean, /* also matches /... So do you know how can I not pick up ..?
