Back on track!

Finally, after 7 months downtime the blog is up and running again. I guess five nines is out for the next millennium or so. ~~l0b0.net~~ is no more, but filterous.com (Update: Unfortunately this site is long gone. Sorry for the inconvenience!) should soon provide the only really useful thing from the old website: del.icio.us bookmark filtering.

Recursive symbolic link creation script

This might be useful if you keep your settings (.bashrc, .subversion/config, etc.) outside the home directory, like in a Subversion repository. Just copy the following script to the repository directory corresponding to $HOME and run
