Add namespace prefix to XML tags in Vim

Moving from France to Switzerland

There's quite a bit of paperwork involved when moving from France to Switzerland. This is a rough account of what happened after the housing agent called to say we had been selected to get an apartment.

However, it's by no means a complete account, and you should always check with authorities or others who have done the same if in doubt.

Subversion checkout script

Here's a simple script to check out all subversion repositories on a remote host. It requires that you have SSH access on the host, to be able to fetch the repository names (otherwise you can hardcode them in $repositories). You'll also need to have Perl installed.

Following up on the good work of Jean-Francois Roy, here's my slightly extended version of his script (Update: sorry, the link is dead) to backup all Subversion repositories to a remote host.
