<description>We're moving Volunteer Solutions to git this week. One thing that wasn't documented well was how to set up git emails.

There is a git-notify script out there, but in contrib there is post-receive-email.

It's actually easy to set up:

chmod a+x /path/to/post-receive-email
git config --add hooks.mailinglist &quot;email@address.com&quot;
git config hooks.emailprefix &quot;[scms]&quot;

<description>&quot;When pollsters offer voters hypothetical matchups, Mr. Obama does better than Mrs. Clinton against Mr. McCain. For example, a Cook Political Report poll of registered voters released this week found Mr. McCain beats Mrs. Clinton, 45 percent to 41 percent. But Mr. Obama beats Mr. McCain, 45 percent to 43 percent. The latest Washington Post/ABC News poll found similar results.

Mr. Obama also has the highest approval rating of any major candidate among independents, 62 percent, according to a...</description>

<title>Valid characters in a tcl proc definition</title>

<description>It appears you can include ! and ? in proc names in Tcl. So you can do nice Ruby-like proc names, such as

valid?
proc_with_side_effect!

<title>Oracle external tables</title>

<description>Oracle has a built-in facility for accessing text files as if they were tables in the database.

This is a screaming fast way of loading data into a table, and it is easier than SQLLDR, plus you can keep your foreign key constraints etc..

I used this at United eWay to replace some pages that were taking several hours to load data from a CSV file. The new script took a second or two instead of more than 18+ hours to run (and it actually never completed).

Combined with the MERGE SQL comm...</description>
