Fixed, after reading some pointers from http://groups.google.com/group/comp.protocols.dns.bind/msg/215521e30b82abda?hl=en& Turns out AT&T was not assigning us a whole /24, so I had to use RFC2317-style reverse delegation: named.conf: zone "64/29.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa" in { type m...

I might be wrong, but it appears exclusive to FreeBSD's tcsh, and not tcsh on most (all?) flavors of Linux. a very similar trick that I use a lot is reverse history searc...

Am trying to make the life at the Linux command prompt as friendly as FreeBSD's tcsh.

DateAdd?

In ASP.NET (VB, for a web form), need to: 1. Check current date. If it's less than or equal to the 15th of the month, return mm15yyyy of this month. For example, if today was St. Valentine's Day 02142007, return 02152007. 2. If current day of the month is after the 15th, return the 15th of next mont...
