No Audio in Some Apps

for my future reference (since this has happened to me a couple of times and it always takes me a long time to determine what the problem is):
Instrument Belt Notch
Posted by Dave Minor Fri, 09 Mar 2007 20:32:28 GMT
I’m not sure why I haven’t gotten really excited about this yet. Without a lot of pomp and circumstance, I passed my instrument rating checkride this past Tuesday. I felt solid about the material and the flying, so I wasn’t worried about not passing, but I worked really hard to get it done and now it is.
Maybe I know that without a goal to work towards, I probably won’t fly as much for a while. Maybe it’s because I haven’t been able to use the rating yet. Maybe it’s because I don’t know what to work towards now.
I know that there will be times I will use my instrument rating, but I’m not sure what I would use a multi-engine rating or a tailwheel endorsement or even a commercial rating.
I really want to get a commercial rating, but I’m not sure what I would do with it. I don’t want to instruct and I don’t want to become an “on call” pilot for a charter. I would love to earn some money as a pilot, I just don’t know how to get there.

Among other things, the toy import/export maps are so very heavily weighted!
Diff a Tree and Copy
Posted by Dave Minor Mon, 05 Mar 2007 20:32:00 GMT
When maintaining older projects that don’t have deployment scripts written and where production is not under version control, I find a lot of times that I need to diff the two directory trees looking for which files have changed and then copy them to production.
Today I had a bunch of those to do. I worked up a shell one-liner that will handle this and I’m posting it here to remember the next time this comes up.
diff -q -x .svn -r . ../production_root | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -i -t cp {} path/to/production_root/{}
Let me know if you see a better way.
UPDATE: ok, so this totally fails when there are files in the current tree that don’t exist in the production_root because my awk outputs ‘in’ instead of the filename.
I guess I really need to suck it up and implement a capistrano deployment system for my non-rails apps.
