What it means to be a blackbelt

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

I am not sure how many people know this but martial arts are deeply ingrained into base-10’s culture. Collectively base-10 has over 40 years of martial arts experience in a myriad of styles. Thorsten has trained for 15 years, Ramin for 12 years and I (casimir) have trained for 15 years. The styles we have studied include wushu, karate, kickboxing, jiu jitsu, judo and kobudo. Personally the bulk of my experience (14 years) and what I have focused on most is kickboxing, at Champions Martial Arts academy in north vancouver. On December 1st 2009 I attained the level of black belt which I have been working towards since I was 7. Getting my black belt and building base-10 are in my opinion my 2 greatest life achievements to date and are what I am most proud about. (more…)

Subversion bulk add or remove

Friday, December 11th, 2009

A couple of one liners to easily bulk add or remove files in subversion:


svn st | grep ^? | sed 's/?    //' | xargs svn add

svn st | grep ^! | sed 's/?    //' | xargs svn rm

svn st | grep ^! | sed 's/!    //' | xargs svn rm

They can even handle files with spaces.
