This is a modification of my quickly add files to Subversion post to allow you to delete files in SVN that have been locally deleted:
$ svn st | grep ^! | cut -b7- | xargs svn delete
Of course, you’ll need to commit the files:
$ svn commit

I am beginning this entry as I sit down to watch the airing of the GOP Presidential Candidates debate on Fox News at 7PM CST on 10/19/07. I intend to review section by section the debate as it unfolds and voice my opinion and stance on issues throughout.

Often times I can be found walking through the grocery store or various department stores buying foods and general supplies for life with my iPod on. I’m usually listening to pod-casts or audiobooks, which is almost exclusively what is on my iPod.
I’ve read many people do this, but perhaps this is something that isn’t common to do in the South? I don’t see many people shopping or doing chores with their iPod’s in. Further, I’ve noticed I get weird looks at the grocery store with my little white earbuds in that I normally don’t.
So, what’s the deal? Am I the only one who does this? It’s a great time to listen to audiobooks and such, I don’t see what the big deal is.

I received what I can only assume is a new type of spam today. It was a short MP3 file and I dared to listen to it. Inside was a low voice behind some static that made it very hard to understand. If you listened closely, the woman was telling me how a new website that was successful in Canada and Europe was being launched in the US. She then proceeded to thank me for listening.
It was very disturbing. Spammers sure are becoming very desperate in their attempts to penetrate filters these days. It’s pathetic.

P.S. — No, I didn’t visit the website and won’t share it or the file with anyone.
It seems Apple is going to be releasing a SDK for the iPhone and iPod Touch in February. All I can say is FINALLY!

A great Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop client for Mac OS X is CoRD. Just thought I would share a great find!

Here’s a handy command for removing .SVN directories as you get ready to launch an application managed by Subversion:
$ find . -name .svn -print | xargs rm -rf {}

Quick tip: If you need to add files that are not currently in the repository to SVN, just run the following command from the directory:
$ svn st | grep ^? | cut -b7- | xargs svn add
Of course, you’ll need to commit the files:
$ svn commit

Hard drives are getting too big. In a recent article I read, Sci-Tech Today.com reported that Hitachi will soon be releasing drives that have over 1TB of storage density PER SQUARE INCH. That is insane!
Imagine a hard drive that has 4TB of storage in one single drive. First, that amount of storage is just huge for a single drive. Second, if you put that in a network environment the density of the drive would be such that with sufficient services accessing the data, you would quickly max out the throughput and wouldn’t even get half the benefit of such a large drive.
Second, with such high density the susceptibility of the drive to corruption from outside forces (i.e. — electromagnetic interference) would increase exponentially.
I still think making current drives more efficient and faster is a far better return on technological advancement than trying to cram more and more data into a single drive. If you need more than 500GB of storage, you should be using an array not a single drive.
