find is also good to know even if all the files are want to process are in one directory.
There’s a limit to how many files bash will take in a wildcard expression, and once you go beyond that, an expression like *.jpg will not work- but find will get around that for you.

When you talk about find, might want to look into xargs at the same time.

I keep a list of topics in a Google Docs document. Whenever I come across something I thing would be interesting to write about, I add it to that list. If it’s a web page I sometimes tag it on delicious.com. That way I can come back and write about any of the topics when I have the time.

Hope that helps,

Give it a shot, some time. It’s easier than ODBC on Linux .
