windows

Just a quick one this morning. I discovered this last night while trying to get the Java plug-in to work with Firefox in Fedora 10 (I didn't, for the record).

If, like me, you live somewhere that means if you go to www.google.com then Google rather cleverly (but annoyingly) redirects you to that country's Google (in my case www.google.fr) and that is not desired, here's what to do:

Linux

In a terminal window:

locate google.xml

If you want to contribute to the Drupal project, you need to know how to use CVS. It's a version control system, like Subversion, but older and clunkier. Still, Drupal have been using it for *years* so I can hardly blame them for not switching. From the command line in Linux it's straightforward enough, and anyway, I can't talk because they're not switching from CVS for the same reason I'm not switching from Windows (even though it would make far more sense for me to abandon Microsoft and install Ubuntu). In a word: hassle!
