Convert sections of Web pages to images
If you find a need to convert a web page into an image, say saving a section of a google map, Abduction is a good plugin for Firefox 3.
Once installed, just right click on the web page choose 'Save Page As Image'. A preview window then opens which lets you select which part gets included in the image, where and what image format.

Java delete non-empty folders
The Java File.delete(); method only works on empty folders to delete a folder and its contents recursivly do some thing like:
public static void recDelete(File folder) {
if(folder.exists()) {
if(folder.isDirectory()) {
File[] files = folder.listFiles();
for(int i=0; i < files.length; i++) {
File curFile = files[i];
// call to delete the current file/folder
recDelete(curFile);
}
}
//If a folder Deleted all contents
//If a File Jump straight here
folder.delete();
}
}

Displaying code Snippets on blogspot
I have been trying to show pretty code snippets on blogspot.com/blogger.com. I found for larger files github.com displays code nicely but not very handy for short inline examples. Today I discovered prettify by google
This post describes setting up code.google prettify on blogger.com

Include this before the head tag in the blogger template.
I have made a modified version of the css file suitable for displaying code on darkbackgrounds, I use this instead:
Then change the body tag to:
Then use the prettyprint class when using pre tags around code:

Scite bash script config
in Scite the config for bash/shell scripts are handled by the perl.properties by default.
I believe this is the section of the config file which applies it to .sh file by default.
file.patterns.perl=*.pl;*.pm;*.cgi;*.pod
file.patterns.bash=*.sh;*.bsh;configure
shbang.perl=pl
shbang.sh=sh
filter.perl=Perl (pl pm)|$(file.patterns.perl)|
filter.bash=Bash (sh bsh)|$(file.patterns.bash)|
lexer.$(file.patterns.perl)=perl
lexer.$(file.patterns.bash)=bash

Ruby Shoes, Get full path of current application
After reading this post [1] I though that [2] would return the full path, as the url suggest it is only a relative path. For Ruby scripts executing under Shoes the current dir can change so it is always best to refer to a full path. The short script at [3] should give just that.
[1] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/757455/relative-file-paths
[2] File.dirname($PROGRAM_NAME)
[3]:

def getFullPath
modulepath = File.expand_path($PROGRAM_NAME)
modulepath = $modulepath.gsub($PROGRAM_NAME,"")
return modulepath
end
