Federer Two Wins From Another Major

AP - First, critics said Roger Federer couldn't win the big ones, because he started his career with a 2-6 record in tournament finals. Then they said he couldn't handle the demands of Grand Slams, because he had six first-round losses and just two quarterfinal appearances over his first 16 majors.

Cygwin: Still Awesome

Cygwin: Still Awesome 09/08/2004 10:51 AM

I opined a few months ago on the beauty and joy of the command line, but I had another experience today that really illustrated the fact that GUI’s aren’t the best tool for everything.

I have both the privilege and burden of dealing with Rational Clearcase for some version control tasks. I recently wrote a large module with a number of new files, and it was time to add it to source control. Clearcase’s GUI has no ‘recursively add all these files’ function, which is one of the many ways in which it strives to suck, and succeeds beyond expectations.

Fortunately, I’ve got Cygwin on my Windows box. First up: get a list of files to check in. I want only my module, and not any of the Frontpage crap that Visual Studio adds to web projects. So, I need a list of all the files in the project, then get rid of any of them that are not in my module’s folder, then get rid of any directories that start with an underscore (the frontpage crap), then save that list to a file.

find . | grep /MyModule | sed /\/_[a-z]/d > list.txt

(Yes, there are plenty of more efficient ways to write this, but it was the first way that came to mind, and it works.)

Now I need to take each of those items and check it in to ClearCase one by one. (Clearcase has an import commandline command that would take them all at once, but I don’t have permission to run it in my environment). No sweat with bash.

for file in `cat list.txt`; do cleartool mkelem $file; done

Awesome. Two commands instead of an hour’s worth of clicking, saving me so much time that I waste it on things like posting to blogs while I wait for the checkin to finish.

You need Cygwin if you are a serious power user of any kind. Learning it will not only make you faster, it will make you more platform independent. Almost all non-Windows platforms that you run across use some variation of this syntax.

Objects of Violence (Are Awesome)

Objects of Violence (Are Awesome) 12/22/2004 01:36 AM

If I have any criticism of Sensory Impact's 'Subverting Objects of Violence' piece, it's that it's too short. You can't begin to fill my rage meter with couture ice blade molds designed to assist in committing the perfect murder, followed up by a one-off Hello, Kitty Head mecha, and then... it's over. That sort of teasing frustration makes me so angry it makes me want to kill. In fact, give me a few hours to let this knife harden and then I'm coming over to subvert you guys right in the eye.

Epson's World's Lightest Flyer Still
Smallest, Awesome

Epson's World's Lightest Flyer Still
Smallest, Awesome 08/19/2004 07:35 AM

See, I saw that Epson had released a new model of their "World's Lightest Micro-Flying Robot" - you know, the one that was a big deal late last year - and thought, "We've already talked about that. Nobody will be interested." I was wrong, according to the emails, though, so I guess I better mention it. The biggest difference between the old model and the new one is that the update appears to be running untethered, although it still flies with a bit of a wobble. It's too small to be used outside, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some implementation of these available for purchase soon. Although they have serious uses, too - investigating accident scenes, etc. - with the Bluetooth and built-in camera, it would make a perfect office toy, until you were fired for industrial espionage.

Also, could the girl in the video be any less excited?

Nikon D2X & Underwater Housing Reviewed
(Verdict: Awesome)

Nikon D2X & Underwater Housing Reviewed
(Verdict: Awesome) 03/17/2005 03:51 AM

Wetpixel has a review of both the Nikon D2X 12.4 MP camera and its Subal ND2 underwater housing. The pictures produced by the camera are vibrant and incredibly well-balanced, which you would expect for the $5,000 it costs. Still, reviewer Dr. Alex Mustard says that if you don't need very large output sizes for your shots, you can purchase a Nikon D70 for considerably less that produces rather decent underwater shots. The housing is designed very well and offers excellent ergonomics—an important consideration when on a dive. Dr. Mustard muses "It costs $5,000. And if you fill it up with water, it is worth $0," but goes on to say "in a word, [the D2X] is awesome." Some gorgeous pics accompany the review, so be sure to check them out. (Thanks, Eric!)
