I modified the default to the following for faster local dialing for North American area codes:
(*xx|[3469]11|0|00 [2-9]xxxxxxS0|[2-9]xxxxxxxxxS0|1xxx[2-9]xxxxxxS0|xxxxxxxxxxxx.)
This is what I added to the above: "[2-9]xxxxxxxxxS0" so any 9 digit number is dialed instantly xxx-xxx-xxxx (the S0 at the end makes it dial right away). This makes dialing much quicker and is recommended.

Plesk 8.6 CLI backup:
/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup domains domain.com
This is a much better way of doing it and of course it can be scripted, it's a real pain to point, click and wait for Plesk to backup domains (and yes Iknow you could do all of them in a single client file but this is not desirable for my situation).........
Just install the following package "nautilus-image-converter" and you will be able to right click any image and convert the size and rotate it.

Just install the package and it gets all required libraries to convert and then burn's on the fly. And you won't believe how simple it is.
I just want to a directory that had the MP3's I wanted t........
