Got to remember to back up my home directory.

Think it’d be some thing like

cd ~
su
mv Music /somewhere
pax -wf /Backups/_usr-home-Terry.pax ./*
cd /Backups
gzip -9 _user-home-Terry.pax

I’ll worry about it later

Finnally… some time to relax.

This weeks been heck between work, allergies, and business. Little time to even be on the laptop.

Been working my way slowly threw a few books Link1 Link2.

Been working on stuff /w the SNCO project most of the week… been digging into XHTML/CSS with it. I’m starting to write pages XHTML compilent and use the validator to catch typos. Usually missing ‘/’ on end tags in lists.

Had the bosses dog for the weekend while they were out of town…. spent most of it walking 3 dogs and being sat on.

I feel like shaving, showering, and throwing a ‘Spidey can go back to work’ party and inviting both the RvS and S4 departments lol.. Sad when you need a vacation from your time off work ! Or feel happy to be getting back to work in a day or two.

R&R would be nice….

Hmm, what a day.

Ironed out a few more things with my work in the SNCO Project.

Fire & Movement -> Submited
Rules of Engagment -> Submited
Breaching -> Fixing (post submited)
Stacking -> Converted (post submited)
Tactical Aids -> Working
Reloading Drill -> Submited + Tweaked & Resubmited
Equippment Loadouts -> Completed, not submited

Made changes to En4cers changes on basic training, submitted it back to him but no word yet. Maybe I should send it to Rouge since its technically supposed to go through the RSM then to GCHQ. No idea what En4cer is doing these days…. Feeling is mutal I’m sure.

Can’t really complete every thing on Room Clearing at the moment (En4cer) and I have little interest in the Planning & Leading one. Although that one might be able to stand as is hehe (y).

Spent most of the day on holiday after finishing some work on it. Joined Lazko & Ranger for some 2 on 1 on a super small map. Abiliterated them using the 40mm and mixing my kit around. Never really they knew what I was going to do, other then strike.

After wards joined Random/Lazko for a game, Random I soon found. Was much to seasoned a cat to fall prey to a Spider. Just as I was a bit to expirenced for Lazko & Ranger to have to much a head start. Since they were very fair and didn’t spawn rape much.

Eventually got into a baton war hehe. That blighters the fastest reloading weapon in the game I bet.

I could swear… trying to do any thing in this freaking place. Is harder then trying to have sex with a woman a football fields length away !

I’m sick and tire dof having to do things in the dead of night just to be able to fucking hear my self think.

Diff and Patch

by

Tests have shown, that using diff to create a patch file and using the patch file to patch the origenal. Have been largly successful so long as the origenal has not been edited since the diff was made.

Notes

archive: pax -wf archive /what
append to archive: pax -waf archive /more
unpack: pax -rf archive # unpacks in current directory
list: pax -f archive | $PAGER

the -z option adds gzip compression as with tar.

Also the -i and -v options work as per convention.

exclude file with the -c ‘file’ command or only file with -n ‘file’. Like:

pax -rf archive -c ‘ignoreme’ && pax -rf archive -n ‘onlyme’

gzip -# works well for the archives, where # is 0-9 low-high compression.
