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
 

Which roughly breaks down to:

Road trip

Posted Sun, 2009-04-26 11:54 by simon

Had to travel yesterday for my Uncles funeral, 960km in a day isn't bad. On the way we stopped at a park and walked the dogs around for a bit, and found these massive moths on the back of the toilet block.

They look big and scary enough to make up quite a story:

Here you see the Australian vampire moth, known to suck blood from other less dangerour Australian animals like Kangaroos, Koalas, Tasmanian Devils and more.

Jetfire Heater

Posted Sat, 2009-05-02 00:07 by simon

As we're living in a shed at the moment, and we needed a heater, I thought something a bit "industrial" would be ok. After some research, we purchased a "Jetfire" heater, which sure does throw out a lot of heat!

Trouble is, our shed is like 3.6metres high, so lots of warmth is a the top. Still, a HEAP better than no heater at all, with the nights getting closer and closer to 0C

Helmet ejection system

Posted Wed, 2009-05-06 17:54 by simon

Shockdoctor - http://www.shockdoctor.com have released a new product that can helps remove helmets in the advent of a serious accident.

It is so simple, but so effective. If any sort of spinal injury is suspected, it allows the Helmet to be pushed off by the internal bladder.

Like a lot of great inventions, its very simple, and yet very clever, and very well priced as well for something that could save your life.

Already major teams and Manufacturers and even the AMA are adopting it as standard equipment http://www.xlnk.me/o

Picked up some trees, ready to plant this weekend.

Went to Trees for life this morning and picked up a bunch of trees from their excess stock to get our planting really started.

That should keep us busy for the weekend!

Took a couple of snaps of the back of the Forester filled with them.

Not sure how we're going to get all of the family home tonight, since trees are taking up the whole car.
