Mount your windows partition at startup

If you want Ubuntu to mount your windows partition at startup, or any other I think.
1.- Open System->Preferences->Startup Applications
2.- Click Add button.
3.- Name and comment what you want, the important part is Command
4.- type gnome-mount -d
5.- Press ok, and its done.

Everytime you start Ubuntu it will mount your partition automatically.
should be something like this: /dev/sda# or /dev/hda# where # is a number, usually between 0..6
If you don't know which is the partition name, install gparted:
sudo apt-get install gparted
Then type sudo gparted in the terminal and you will see the information of all the hard disks on your computer. Also the /dev/... information you need.
Note: The download is less than 1MB.
Hope it helps!

Export to Excel with spreadsheet gem

While using the spreadsheet gem to export data to a Microsoft Excel file I encountered various problems and lack of proper documentation forced me to dig pretty deep. So here are a few tips you might find useful. The gem works with a workbook object and worksheets in this workbook. To get started: workbook = Spreadsheet::Workbook.new sheet1 = workbook.create_worksheet name: worksheetname To write a row of data as usually is done in reports you can use: sheet1.row(1).replace [ 'col1', 'col2', 'col3'] Rows and Columns are 0 based, so col1 would be printed on A2 (Excel coords). Now to the beauty of it all, formatting, first of all, create a format: bold = Spreadsheet::Format.new :weight => :bold bold20 = Spreadsheet::Format.new :weight => :bold, size: 20 nobold20 = Spreadsheet::Format.new size: 20 bold_grey_bg = Spreadsheet::Format.new pattern_bg_color: :cyan, weight: :bold, pattern: 1, pattern_fg_color: :black Use :weight to set bold,
