GitTip profile of the week
|

Articles
Testing

Code

by Yanick Champoux (YANICK) When upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04 Yanick found out that KDE's Knotes has changed the format it was using to save notes and it could not upgrade the files itself. No problem. Perl with the help of Yanick could solve the problem. Code included. |
