TeamSnap

TeamSnap is a new web 2.0 application for managing/organizing sport teams. Since I am on a softball team here at Webmail.us, I figured I should give it a try. As it turns out, it’s pretty nice. It has all the features I want and very little that I don’t.

Since it seems to be a Rails based application, it has some similarities with applications like Group Hub. Very clean, intuitive, and simple. It is still in beta testing, so not all the features are complete, but its still very usable. Unfortunately, once it is released, the free version is going to have ads and possibly less features, although I don’t know what those are.

Definitely worth trying right now though.

Linux: Find and Replace in Files

Thanks to Jon H., I can now do find and replace in files on Linux machines from the command line. Its pretty simple, but I had never bothered to figure it out.

Here are two examples. The first is for just one file, the meat and potatoes are in the second example, which does a find and replace in all PHP files.

sed -i -e "s/TOREPLACE/REPLACEMENT/g" temp.txt;
sed -i -e "s/TOREPLACE/REPLACEMENT/g" `find -name '*.php'`;

Super helpful.
