How to archive folders older than a certain date in Linux / Ubuntu

 Computing, HowTo, Linux  1 Response »
Feb 112010
 

Using the GUI this task is trivial (Sort by list view, click on the Date heading to order by date, select the relevant folders then right click and Compress.)

Using the command line to achieve the same results is a trifle harder. Here’s the command line I came up with:

tar zcvf ArchiveName.tar.gz `find * -maxdepth 0 -mtime +893`

The find command in the gets executed first and returns the folders and files in the CURRENT directory that haven’t been modified since the number of days specified by the number in the find command.

Tar then does it’s usual job and compresses it.

If you’re wanting to remove directories using a similar command just substitute in the rm command instead of the tar command.

To find the number of days to a date in the past I used this website here but I’m sure there’s something you can do with the date command that will give you a similar output!

How to convert DSS files to .mp3 with ubuntu linux

 Computing, Musicals, Thoroughly Modern Millie  5 Responses »

I have an Olympus DM-20 which I use to record stuff from my amateur dramatics group, just recently I recorded a script read through of Thoroughly Modern Millie and needed to chop up the read-through by scene. Ubuntu Linux doesn’t support .dss files natively so I needed to convert them. A bit of googling lead me to believe that I’d need to convert it using a program under wine. Below is how I got it all to work, hopefully it will help someone!

Things you will need:

To Install:

  • Install wine from the repositories

sudo apt-get install wine

You should be able to Right Click and Open with Wine Windows Program Loader.

Using the same methodology as above right click and open with Wine Windoes Program Loader.

Install as above. Run the program, add the files, choose your output type and location and hit convert!

Bang, you’re done.

Information sourced from Google and the ubuntu forums I couldn’t initially get Swift working because I didn’t have the C++ libraries installed hence my repost!

Thoroughly Modern Millie

So I’m in my next musical! Thoroughly Modern Millie! Being in Just So was an amazing experience and so much fun that I thought I’d join in on the next couple of musicals and see how they go.

The first musical after Just So was an evening dedicated to popular movies through the decades, from silent movies through to Men In Black, called A Night at the Movies. Whilst the show was a bit bitty in places it was still great fun to be a part of.

Have you met Miss Jones?

Now we’re on to Thoroughly Modern Millie and I’m playing the part of ‘Jimmy Smith’, my first lead role, which I am so excited about! I’m already feeling nervous about it, tonight being our first rehearsal, that’s if I can get there with all this snow!

I had a really weird dream about it last night in fact. I dreamt I was performing with Barnstormers and that we were due to perform a piece that I had no recollection of rehearsing. Very Scary!

Anyway here’s to Thoroughly Modern Millie, I’m sure it’ll be a blast!

Annoying WordPress bug

 Computing  No Responses »
Jan 072010
 

The last few weeks I’ve been wondering why I could only access my blog through just Mozilla Firefox and not through other browsers such as Chrome, IE, etc.

Turns out if I change ‘WordPress address (URL)’ and ‘Blog address (URL)’ from http://cdal.co.uk to http://www.cdal.co.uk then Chrome, IE etc all report a redirect loop.

Unfortunately I found this out after a complete reinstall of wordpress… that’s why it looks slightly different now. I hope this helps someone else!

Webpage Content Analyser v0.1.1

I’ve just updated the webpage content analyser as the version I originally uploaded was a devlopment version and didn’t actually work!

Anyway the new version still needs tweaking but it gives you an idea of the kind of thing it can produce. Syntax of invocation is still the same as is the download link, both of which can be found on the web content analyser page on the right hand menu.

Webpage Content Analyser

At work we use Dansguardian to provide content based filtering for our users. We found in a few instances Dansguardian’s default phraselists was blocking content that we wanted our users to have access to, so we needed to modify them.

We had a problem though, we didn’t know what words over a set of pages were common so that we could use to modify our current phraselists. So I wrote a tool, WPA, that would take a webpage strip all the formating and give a list of most common phrases and words.

To use WPA do the following:

java -jar WPA.jar site1 site2 site3 …

You can also use it to see what words you should be banning if you have a set of bad pages you don’t want your users to be viewing. Using your blocked domains list is good for this to prevent access to similar content:

cat /etc/dansguardian/lists/global-block/domains | java -jar WPA.jar

All you need to do then is decide what phrases to add to your weighted phrase lists!

Of course the beauty of this program is that it’s cross platform thanks to Java, so you’ll be able to run this on Linux, Windows or Mac. If you want the source code for this then it’s all bundled up in the jar.

To get hold of the jar Click Here.
