Customised search in Linux using find

Below is a code to customise search in Linux using find. find would recurse through all the directories. I needed to omit some directories which I knew didn't have the file I was looking for but instead have games. So recursing through them would cause enormous processor overhead and time loss. So I wrote a code in shell script to omit specific directories..

cd /
for aa in `ls`
do

if [ "$aa" != "resident_evil" ] ; then
if [ "$aa" != "usr1" ] ; then
if [ "$aa" != "usr2" ] ; then
if [ "$aa" != "usr3" ] ; then
if [ "$aa" != "unreal" ] ; then
if [ "$aa" != "quake3" ] ; then
echo -e " Current search path: "
cd $aa
pwd
find . -name "*.a"
fi

cd /

done

Fastest way to send multiple drafts from gmail

People claim that the fastest way to send multiple email drafts is to use Gmail IMAP with email client like Outlook or Evolution or Thunderbird. But I have found this is not true. Because Thunderbird and Evolution etc. email clients treats the drafts as emails still to be edited. So it is not just simple select all and hit send. Each email draft has to be opened and sent separately. That is a lot of clicks and mouse movements, wasting precious time and energy. I have a better solution which involves minimum keystrokes and mouse usage. Efficiency booster technique for sending emails. If someone is feeling adventurous and want to try it from the Gmail interface itself, here's how to do it in the fastest possible manner. It involves using the mouse once. Select the first draft. Gmail would open a new email box and put the cursor inside the box to write. Press TAB once to go the Send button. Press ENTER to send. Now Gmail sends it and the box is gone but the highlight goes to the last...

Changing the font size of section headings in LaTex

You have several ways to do so: 1.- A direct redefinition of \section: \makeatletter \renewcommand\section{\@startsection{section}{1}{\z@}% {-3.5ex \@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}% {2.3ex \@plus.2ex}% {\normalfont\large\bfseries}} \makeatother 2.- By means of the titlesec package: \usepackage{titlesec} \titleformat{\section}{\large\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{} 3.- By means of the sectsty package: \usepackage{sectsty} \sectionfont{\large} source : http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3245 Now, I would explain the titlesec package a bit more (because it seems easier to me and...
