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

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.

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:
Thought i'd better put up a post with some bricks on it.
Stuck in a pic I took at dawn as well, cause it was cool.
I've posted on my dirt bike website about this, but its worth promoting more (please crosspost, link, retweet etc).
