Hi,

I was looking for a way to add all files with certain extensions to a subversion repository.

After reading the find manual I came up with this neat line:

find -name *.pm -o -name *.t -exec svn add '{}' \;

This line adds all files with extensions *.pm and *.t to the svn. All subdirectories are included.

I needed to draw some charts using gnuplot. Downloading and installing as usual (configure, make, make install) led to a lot of errors. So I looked around and found this solution:

# ./configure –with-readline=builtin

If you need PDF support you have to install pdflib first:

# sudo port install pdflib
# ./configure –with-readline=builtin --with-pdf=/usr/local/lib/pdflib-config

You need to have MacPorts installed.

And that was it. You can now run gnuplot from the command line and create beautiful charts.

Inspired by this blog post by Jonathan Rockway I decided to be a “little noisier”. So here is my blog where I will talk about things like Perl, JavaScript, software engineering, Mac OS X and anything else which comes to my mind.

Regarding Perl I will focus on Catalyst, DBIC, HTML::FormFu and AJAX related topics. And that’s where JavaScript jumps in. I did some work using the fabulous ExtJS framework and will write about that in combination with all the above named modules.

I hope I can interest some people in reading my blog.
