SVN revert

June 23rd, 2010 by Andy

At some point I plan to install svn (or even git) on my web space. We use svn at work and the applications there are far more complicated than anything I’ll build at home. Prior to our server rebuild we could rebuild the model in symfony, and because of some magical settings which have yet to be explained to me, none of the modified files from the model rebuild would appear when performing an svn st.

Since the new server, many plugin and lib files appear during a svn st which can make it difficult to see changed files which need a commit.

To resolve this, you can run the following command svn –depth infinity revert lib. Make sure you specify the specific directory or file, otherwise you may find other local changes reverting back too (oops)!

The Outdoor Life

May 24th, 2010 by Andy

Crackin’ weekend, wasn’t it? I took the family to Shell Island (Boba’s choice). It’s been three years since we were last there. It was peak season and mayhem then, but this time, slightly off-peak and far more relaxed. There was still some late night revelry on the Saturday night (the site allows large single sex groups) and this is the main reason not to go as a family. However, the beach was fantastic and there was enough surf to do a spot of body-boarding.

On the Saturday evening we drove into Barmouth and visited Knickerbocker’s ice-cream parlour (me and Boba also visited the fabulous boys’ toys shop) before returning to Shell Island for a fruitful hour or so of crab-fishing.

kayakWe rounded off the weekend with a visit to Harlech castle, and a pint and a steak at the fabulous Victoria Inn.

Just to try and keep the weekend going a bit, Me and Boba rode up to White Man’s Damn with the 1st Knowsley Sea Scouts for an hour of kayaking.

I’ll be growing a beard next!
