Unzipping/untaring an archive that was created on a Mac can produce a lot of ._blah and .DS_Store files. Rid yourself of them with:
find . \( -name '._*' -o -name '.DS_Store' \) -exec rm {} \;
or, if you’re using GNU find (e.g. on Ubuntu) you can use -delete:
find . \( -name '._*' -o -name '.DS_Store' \) -delete
And the ensuing discussion…
Use the find command to delete all of the ._* and .DS_Store files.
I find it useful to keep a few extra items in my Finder toolbar.
This blogish is finally back online after an extended period of http silence.
That’s me in the photo above. My current profession is web development. Therefore, it is the subject of this site.
Postpostmodern is the name of this site and my alias on most of the web. There's nothing really special about the name Postpostmodern. I studied art in college during the years after postmodernism, and nobody knew how else to classify the state of things other than silly words like postpostmodernism.
I'd call this a blog, but I don't feel it fits the 'log' format. My goal is to publish articles on web-related topics that interest me, and while some articles may be time-sensitive, I would prefer that the organizational focus be on the categories and tags rather than chronology.
More about me can be found on the about page. Or, look me up in the usual places:
