Writing a self deleting batch file

Some people laugh at me when I tell them I love to write batch files.Thinking

Today i found myself in kinda a pickle, I wanted to write a batch file that would delete itself as well as any files in the directory it was located in. So I turned to my good friend Google, not too much luck… Lucky I can usually figure this stuff out. Here’s what worked for me…

The solution:
@echo off
cls
del. /q

the del. deletes everything in the working directory and /q switch makes it so you don’t have to confirm every file delete (quite mode).

I hope this info was helpful!

RIAA going from bad to worse

The  RIAA has announced that they will no longer be suing people who illegally download music from the internet. Good news? Not really because they will be working with ISPs to disconnect offending users. No doubt that Comcast will be one of those ISPs as  Comcast is clearly opposed to NN as well as internet piracy.
