The out-takes from last Saturday’s DVD evening, available to download but I encourage you to buy a DVD from Bert who will have all the footage very shortly!

Here’s the out-takes that didn’t make it to the out-takes shown last Saturday either for technical reasons or because the didn’t make the cut!
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!

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:
- Wine (avaliable from the repositories)
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86)
- DSS/Multi Player-Lite 2 for Windows (This has to be installed for wine to know how to deal with .dss files (Thanks Hal!))
- Switch Audio converter (Runs under wine)
To Install:
- Install wine from the repositories
sudo apt-get install wine
- Download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86)
You should be able to Right Click and Open with Wine Windows Program Loader.
- Next install DSS/Multi Player-Lite 2 for Windows
Using the same methodology as above right click and open with Wine Windoes Program Loader.
- Lastly install Switch Audio converter
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!
I forgot to post a while back about the out-takes I made for the musical of ‘Just So’ and here they are!
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.
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
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!
