[nlug] Re: abbreviated: command of the day.
Steven,
This is exactly what I am having to do at the moment.
Unfortunately, I just pushed my code through the release process and
it has gone live. I'll update my code, but wait until there is a more
pressing need to go live with it before I go through this hassle
again. It only runs early in the morning every Sunday so speed is not
an issue.
Thanks!
Andy

[nlug] abbreviated: command of the day.
Okay, I just had to share this one.
I have a process I normally have to do a few times a month that moves files
from one directory into a dated storage dir. Wouldn't be a hard problem but
the directory grows longer than can be used by simple argument expansion.
So we use a ls piped to grep and hand off to xargs. Problem was that due to
the normal usage of mv being "mv source dest" I had to use xargs -i to get
mv happy.
ls | grep TXT | xargs -i mv {} dest/
Well today when I tried yet again to get xargs to place more than one item
in the source section of the mv, I ran across an interesting solution that
I didn't think about. I had fixated on making xargs do all the work that I
didn't think about what could I do differently with mv to get the problem
solved. It seems cp and mv both support a --target-directory option that
lets you put the dest argument before the sources, and then you can turn
xargs loose to do it's normal operation.
ls | grep TXT | xargs mv --target-directory=dest/
This allows xargs to pack as many source files into each command as it can,
instead of the original that ran mv for every source file. Sped up the run
time by several minutes.
Just a little bit of reinforcement that occasionally when you are banging
your head on a problem one way, you might need to look at the other parts
to see if they can help you out.

[nlug] Re: WTB various laptop parts
I just checked my stash. I have two 256 MB matching SO-DIMMS of Hynix PC133 (CL3). I have no way of testing them, but I don't have any reason to think that they aren't good. Email me direct for the address and we'll arrange a time for you to pick them up if you want them.

[nlug] Re: WTB various laptop parts
I have some PC133 SO-DIMMS at the office. I'll check the capacity in a little while. I think they are all 256 MB sticks pulled from old Powerbooks, when they were upgraded. I'll drop you a line, when I've checked them out and you can have a pair for free, if you'll come pick them up.

They seem to only have DDR266 and up, in terms of laptop memory. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Have you checked with www.1stchoicememory.com? They are usually a lot cheaper than the usual suppliers in Newegg and TigerDirect, but they do take a while to ship.
