Convert pictures from fancy cameras

Use dcraw to convert raw images (e.g. .nef) to something more useful for simple people like me.

find .*nef -exec dcraw -w {} \;
find ./dsc_0*ppm -exec convert {} {}.jpg \;

Resetting a mysql root password

*sigh* again!

1. Stop the mysqld daemon process.
2. Start the mysqld daemon process with the --skip-grant-tables option.
3. Start the mysql client with the -u root option.
4. Execute the UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('password') WHERE User='root';
5. Execute the FLUSH PRIVILEGES; command.
