NeoOffice/J

Paul Westbrook | 29 June, 2005 22:41

I am always open to finding a open source solution to commercial software.  Tonight, I just tried NeoOffice/J 1.1, and I have to say that I am impressed.

NeoOffice/J is based on the OpenOffice.org suite, but the main reason that I like NeoOffice is because it is a true Mac OS X application, and not a X11 application.  This means that it uses Mac OS X's printing architecture, clipboard and drag-and-drop support, and native support for Mac fonts.

Several years ago, I paid for Microsoft Office X, but now that there is a good quality open source alternative, I don't think I will pay for an upgrade.

HTTP POST with curl

Paul Westbrook | 29 June, 2005 08:52

I keep forgetting how to perform a HTTP POST with curl, so I want to write this down so I don't forget.

Posting a string:

curl -d "String to post" "http://www.domain.com/file.php"

Posting the contents of a file

curl -d @file_to_post.txt "http://www.domain.com/file.php"
