List of files changed within a range of svn revisions

Published by Simon Lindsay

Today i needed to get a list of files changed within a certain range of svn commits for ftp'ing across to a server and knocked up a quick bash script to do it. Maybe it will help someone else in the future.

for i in `seq 7 30`; do svn log -v -r $i | grep \/ | cut -d' ' -f5; done | sort | uniq -c

Ban on the sale of youth off-highway vehicles

Published by Simon Lindsay

I've posted on my dirt bike website about this, but its worth promoting more (please crosspost, link, retweet etc).

The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) has made available a video public service announcement (PSA) regarding the current ban on the sale of youth off-highway vehicles (OHVs), which includes motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles, intended for kids 12 and under.

Please view the video here, and take action if you are an enthusiast!

Youtube API

Published by Simon Lindsay

I've been working with the Youtube API - http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_php.html - over the weekend, and have discovered that the documentation is not exactly up to date, and some things just dont work.

I may have to resort to the Drupal module - http://drupal.org/project/youtube_api/ - Even though it looks a little neglected, at least I can fix and send patches back to that.

Google friend connect

Published by Simon Lindsay

Google's catchup to facebook connect is in action still, with updates/releases to the API made yesterday to allow better integration with other services.

In particular I was interested in using it with Drupal, and found this post: http://code.google.com/p/google-friend-connect-plugins/wiki/DrupalPlugin which was just updated on the 12th, so should be a very good introduction, and there is a drupal module already, which is great.

I'll try it out later and write another blog post.

Unfortunately, hotel bandwidth sucks, so I'll have to wait until home in Australia.

Pictures from Trellon's stand @ Drupalcon

Published by Simon Lindsay

As Drupalcon was finishing today (apart from the code sprint), I thought i'd grab some quick photos of the central conference area. Theres not many people about in the first ones, but in the later ones you can see it a little busier, but still a way off the peak.

A great time was had by all, and many of them are out celebrating right now.
