Any subversion gurus out there? We have what seems a simple operation but can’t figure out how to perform it. Basically, we want to export files for a specific revision - not the whole repository, just the ones in a revision. If we do a ’show log’ we can see the files we want but (using Subclipse) but how do we export them? - and no, we can’t just walk down the history and pull them out one by one…

What a great couple of weeks we’ve got coming in terms of software releases. Flex 3 and AIR is expected to be released tomorrow, the Apple iPhone SDK was due in February but it may have slipped by a few weeks and Scott Guthrie’s Silverlight 2 Beta1 tutorials sets it up well for an expected public release at Mix08 first week of March.
I was fortunate to get a ‘block’ of 365 jokes, 1 for each day - they’re pretty dire, but i thought I’d add to Friday jollyness, so here goes
Angry man: ‘I’ll teach you to throw stones at my greenhouse.’
Little boy: ‘I wish you would, I keep missing it’…
Lastnight was the London leg of the Flex 3/AIR tour hosted in London with a good turn out of around 200 people - I think the free beer from Adobe went down well too. A good few features of the new FB3 were shown - along with the announcement that it will be coming soon! You heard it here first 
The evening ended with hooking up with Matt from Last.fm - one of Nik’s mate and a tour of the Last.fm offices and of course their infamous ball pit!

Pipex was once a good ISP here in the UK - back when it was part of UU-Net and one of the UK backbone providers. Recently ISPs here in the UK have undergone change and are slowly one by one being absorbed under bigger providers - and then degrading in service. I am currently using Pipex and have been for the past 4 years. For the past couple of weeks i’ve been struggling to get onto the iTunes music store or update my podcast subscriptions after around 6pm. I didn’t think much of it, putting it down to network issues but having finally gotten fed up Googled it, only to find that other Tiscali users have been suffering this since summer last year! I thought, ha - good job i’m not with Tiscali only then to read a few posts later that Pipex was absorbed into Tiscali last year and upon doing a traceroute found out that my traffic was indeed going through Tiscali routers!! I can only guess that Pipex users were migrated over to the Tiscali network quite recently. Bahhhhh! So now I’m stuck, unable to use iTunes when i get home from work, nor update my podcasts. I’m going to suffer their hold music to demand my MAC code tonight to migrate away from them as quickly as possible!
It would seem that Google updated their Gmail client for the iPhone/Touch yesteday. Looks a bit more polished and buttons have been added at the top of the screen as well as the bottom.
So today was my first day at Monochrome and was duly tasked with formatting and reinstalling XP onto my ‘temporary’ (eh Nik?) workstation. There in the problem lies. I was setting up Apache and creating seperate vhost config files - I’d cheerily created my mydomain.conf file in the /conf/vhosts directory as you do, edited the httpd.conf file to include the httpd-vhosts.conf file which i’d edited to wildcard include all *.conf files in the vhosts folder. For almost an hour I struggled trying to get it to work as it simply wouldn’t start. Checking permissions, checking the file name (or so i thought!!!) etc. etc. etc. To save further embarrassment I’ll cut to the moral of the story - there’s a setting in windows ‘Hide file extensions for known file types’ - just make sure you untick it as soon as darn possible - so you don’t end up with files named like mydomain.conf.txt! It’ll have you stumped for hours!
Happy New Year everyone - let’s hope 2008 is even better than 2007, I know for me it will be - starting a new job tomorrow and getting married in September!
