Modify path in UNIX

To modify your path

If you are using csh or tcsh, at the shell prompt, enter: setenv PATH $PATH\:/dir/path If you are using sh, ksh, or bash, at the shell prompt, enter: PATH=$PATH\:/dir/path ; export PATH In all cases, replace /dir/path with the directory you want the shell to search.

Note: The earlier entries in the path take precedence over the later ones. If you want the directories you add to your path to take precedence, then in the examples above, replace $PATH\:/dir/path with /dir/path:$PATH .

If you want to make these changes permanent, then add the commands described above to the end of your .cshrc file (for csh and tcsh), .profile file (for sh and ksh), or .bash_profile file (for bash).

Create Web 2.0 text in Photoshop

First, launch Photoshop. Then do this:

1. Start a new file. File>New...
2. Select the text tool and type something on the canvas
3. Now you have a layer with text on it. Duplicate it so that you have two layers with the same text.
4. Select one of the layers then go to Edit>Transform>Rotate 180. Then Edit>Transform>Flip Horizontal.
5. Then move the text below the other text.
6. Click on the quick mask button on the layer pallete.
7. Click the gradient button on the toolbar and then put a gradient over the lower layer.

Yes, I realize this is the worst tutorial known to man. I will post another one soon with pictures and more detail.
