Do today

11:52am JST Thursday 17 April 2008 (day 13903)

Wow. Just 97 days until my 14,000th day!!

Today I set up u.cow.fly2.nu to be Uncle Cow's travel wiki!!

Next steps:

1. * require email address confirmation

2. allow multiple files to be uploaded

3. * crop the original pics used to create logo

4. upload multiple images of Uncle Cow

   1. pics from last night
   2. pics from this morning

5. put those images in pages

   1. original pics used to create logo

6. brand Uncle Cow with u.cow.fly2.nu

SVN at work

3:00pm JST Thursday 17 April 2008 (day 13903)

Aight; that worked well enough. I needed to put our live directory into subversion, but without versioning the session directory, and without disturbing users.

/home/livedata/ needs to be put into an SVN repository.

We'll do stuff in the /home directory, so

cd /home

First, copy the live data to some temporary location

cp -r /home/livedata  /home/tmplivedata

Now remove files / directories that should not be versioned. In this example, it's just session.

rm -rf /home/tmplivedata/session

Tell ~/.subversion to ignore the files we just removed, so when they are replaced, it will ignore them. (See http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07s02.html#svn-ch-7-sect-2.3.3

do the initial SVN upload

svn import tmplivedata   https://svn.repository.goes.here/trunk

Now check the data out to a new location.

svn co https://svn.repository.goes.here/trunk  newlivedata

Now this is the trick that worked well for me: rapidly moving the current session information to the new versioned directory, and then moving *that* directory back to the live location (after moving the live location out of the way). Three moves, linked by semicolons:

mv /home/livedata/session /home/newlivedata/session; mv /home/livedata /home/oldlivedata; mv /home/newlivedata /home/livedata

Yurika lesson

8:21pm JST Thursday 17 April 2008 (day 13903)

Lesson with Yurika today. She had a good understanding of most of the transcription, and just had some Q's on some less-used bits of grammar.

She seemed intrigued by fly2.nu wiki idea; I wonder if she'll send a critter on an adventure.

the fly2.nu network

1:46am JST Friday 18 April 2008 (day 13904)

Aight; I've created several pages in the fly2.nu network, including several pics on Uncle Cow's site! I'm a bit tired at this point, but I'm pretty sure this can turn into a cool thing.
