Managing Silverstripe Upgrades In Your SVN Projects
Let's face it: FTP is for the web developers of the '90's; real developers use SVN (or some other source control software).
Reset all passwords in an Active Directory OU
Sometimes we need to reset everyone's password on the network - for instance if we are doing a server/network migration and we need to access everyones accounts. With this little cmd snippet you can easily tweak it to reset everyone in a particular OU's password:

X-Fi nally on Kubuntu!
