rsync saved my life
Written by CJB    Friday, 07 December 2007 12:06    PDF Print E-mail

 ...not really but it's a really powerful  file back up and sync tool lurking under the hood in OSX and most Linux systems.

 here's a simple command  line to backup and subsequently (going forward) one folder to another

$ rsync -vrup /path_to_folder_source /destination_path_to_folder_backup
  1. // insert your own source and destinations paths
  2.  Other functions
  3. $ man rsync
  4. -v, --verbose               increase verbosity
  5. -q, --quiet                 decrease verbosity
  6. -c, --checksum              always checksum
  7. -a, --archive               archive mode, equivalent to -rlptgoD
  8. -r, --recursive             recurse into directories
  9. -R, --relative              use relative path names
  10. --no-relative               turn off --relative
  11. --no-implied-dirs           don't send implied dirs with -R
  12. -b, --backup                make backups (see --suffix & --backup-dir)
  13. --backup-dir                make backups into this directory
  14. --suffix=SUFFIX             backup suffix (default ~ w/o --backup-dir)
  15. -u, --update                update only (don't overwrite newer files)
  16.     --inplace               update the destination files inplace
  17. -K, --keep-dirlinks         treat symlinked dir on receiver as dir
  18. -l, --links                 copy symlinks as symlinks
  19. -L, --copy-links            copy the referent of all symlinks
  20. --copy-unsafe-links         copy the referent of "unsafe" symlinks
  21. --safe-links                ignore "unsafe" symlinks
  22. -H, --hard-links            preserve hard links
  23. -p, --perms                 preserve permissions

art making and cell phones
Written by CB    Friday, 07 December 2007 11:57    PDF Print E-mail

My firend G.H. had once asked about the feasibility of using cell phones in an AM project. Well, there's an Open source free cell phone platform about to hit the market called open moko which looks promising

http://www.openmoko.com/about-index.html

There is also a hardware development kit to create your own GPRS/EDGE networks.

http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS5947466557.html

For those of you more familiar with the MAX/MSP/Jitter and that thing calle d the iphone it looks like the flood gates are about to spill open as a number of artist have figured out how to integate the two as well as other softwaare in to some neat projects.

Data Mining 101
Written by CB    Wednesday, 28 November 2007 00:25    PDF Print E-mail

Commercial Data Mining is a scary, scary, scary thing.  Actually it's very cool when you think about the computing power that's brought to bear when such practices are executed. Do you think that your networked life is private and secure ?

Think again.

 

We're talking about technologies that links more that 30 degrees of separation in peoples lives. These are things that make the NSA wet and Google millionaires .billionairs. The operative and keyword phrases in data mining to remeber are:

"Total Information Awareness"

"Non Obvious Relationship Awareness"

"Anonymous Entity Resolution"

"Scalable Social Network Analysis"

"Evidence Extraction and Link Discovery"

To give you an idea how powerful some of these concepts/products/services are, the guys at AT&T get nervous and excited when talking about companies like "Narus".

Here are some links for the 101 class.
