Nucci took some great pictures of me kiting the Gorge in Stevenson, WA.

Nucci and I went up to Whistler for some late season slush.

redgreen with autotest and autospec

2010-01-28T00:00:00-08:00

I use both RSpec and Test/Unit and the accompanying autospec and autotest. I was struggling to get coloring for both without breakage.

Trick is to only require redgreen/autotest if the RSPEC environmental variable is not set. Here is my ~/.autotest:

require 'autotest/fsevent'
require 'autotest/growl'
require 'redgreen/autotest' unless ENV['RSPEC']

Autotest::Growl::show_modified_files = true
Autotest::Growl::remote_notification = true
Autotest::Growl::image_dir = File.join(ENV['HOME'], '.autotest-growl')

Autotest.add_hook :initialize do |at|
  at.sleep = 1
  %w{.svn .hg .git vendor}.each {|exception| at.add_exception(exception)}
  
  unless ARGV.empty?
    if File.exist? 'config/environment.rb'
      at.find_directories = ARGV.length == 1 ? ["spec/#{ARGV.first}", "app/#{ARGV.first}"] : ARGV.dup
    end
  end
  
  at.add_mapping(%r%^spec/(processors|mailers|middlewares)/.*rb$%) { |filename, _| filename }
end

I shall endeavor to return to traditional blogging this year. I have been very busy on Twitter.com/WALoeIII recently.

ssh + pv + mysql

2009-05-12T00:00:00-07:00

This is a good one courtesy of Jonathan Dance.

ssh -C gateway ssh -C database-server mysqldump -u root -pPASSWORD database | pv | mysql -u root database

The -C flag does ssh compression.

pv + gzip + mysql

2009-05-12T00:00:00-07:00

I am writing this down for my own benefit:

Dumping with on-the-fly gzip and speed indicator.

$ mysqldump -u root -p database | pv | gzip -c > database.sql.gz

Loading with on-the-fly gunzip and speed indicator.

$ pv database.sql.gz | gunzip | mysql -u root -p database
