I really like to write down my ideas of apps/services that I know I will never do.

Or at least that I’m not able to do it right now.

Today I opened that file just to take a look at what I’ve wrote there in the last year and I found some ideas I even forgot. For one of these ideas I wrote a cryptic description that I can’t even tell what it means :)

We’ll se if I’ll be able to throw some weekends at them and implement a couple of small projects!

I’ve just saved my first blog from the soon-to-be-closed blogging platform splinder.com. And I read each post.

I started blogging in 2003. I was in my nerdiest period ever and that one was my non-tech blog.. I also had a alternative nickname for it :)

Mixed emotions in reading stuff from 8 to 5 years ago.

temp dir cleaner

Fri, 25 Nov 2011 00:56:02 +0100

I’ve just released one of the my scripts I use on my computers (laptops and servers).

I developed the first version of this simple script some years ago.. it was useful to keep clean a shared temporary directory of an internal server we used for file transfers.

Then, for some reasons, I simply lost it. Some months ago I decided to rewrite it, to automatically delete old temporary files on my laptop, since I started using “sleep” over “shut down”..

Now it’s hosted on github!

“The Tegra 3 is functionally a quad-core processor, but includes a fifth “companion” core. All cores are Cortex-A9s, but the companion core is manufactured with a special low power silicon process. This means it uses less power at low clock rates, but more at higher rates; hence it is limited to 500 MHz. There is also special logic to allow running state to be quickly transferred between the companion core and one of the normal cores. The goal is for a mobile phone or tablet to be able to power down all the normal cores and run on only the companion core, using comparatively little power, during standby mode or when otherwise using little CPU”

How I learned to use: git add . -A

Sun, 20 Nov 2011 03:26:00 +0100

I asked myself: there is a better way to do that?

git rm `git status | grep deleted | awk ‘{print $3}’`

Yes, there is.
