for now, too lazy to make a thumbnail - right click and “view image” for full size

bleep!

bleep.com has a good selection of electro and other not-so-mainstream music (some of the many labels: eskimo, warp, trapez, k7, 4ad, rough trade). it almost seems as if they had made a deal with iTunes – take over where iTunes ends. although iTunes today offers a much wider range of music than it used to: i found a Depeche Mode cover by Johnny Cash (Personal Jesus), a couple of Superpitcher tracks/remixes, and some great House/Soul/DnB/BigBeat(?) tracks by Logistics – like Call me Back. long live the long tail. :-)

so let’s listen to some music! (you can listen to the full song, just press play after the song fades out or click anywhere in the soundwave.)

unix: finding files older than x days

find all files older than 60 days:

find /some/dir -atime +60

in combination with xargs this is very useful for removing old rails sessions:

find /u/apps/my_app/current/tmp/sessions/ -atime +60 | xargs rm

ruby quote

»Ruby’s the only language I’ve ever used that feels like it was designed by a programmer, and not by a hardware engineer (Java, C, C++), an academic theorist (Lisp, Haskell, OCaml), or an editor of PC World (Python).«
