shop open on Sunday in Vic
by Russell Coker 05 May '12

05 May '12

A project I'm working on needs the below part tomorrow. Do you know of a shop in or near Melbourne that would sell one on a Sunday? Thanks. Replacement: DEV-10009. The new version does not have the 6-pin header. This page is for reference only. Description: This is a basic breakout board for the FTDI FT232RL USB to serial IC. The pinout of this board matches the FTDI cable to work with official Arduino and cloned 3.3V Arduino boards. It can also be used for general serial applications. The major difference with this board is that it brings out the DTR pin as opposed to the RTS pin of the FTDI cable. The DTR pin allows an Arduino target to auto-reset when a new Sketch is downloaded. This is a really nice feature to have and allows a sketch to be downloaded without having to hit the reset button. This board will auto reset any Arduino board that has the reset pin brought out to a 6-pin connector. The pins labeled BLK and GRN correspond to the colored wires on the FTDI cable. The black wire on the FTDI cable is GND, green is DTR. Use these BLK and GRN pins to align the FTDI basic board with your Arduino target. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

Bash quoting oddness
by Chris Samuel 04 May '12

04 May '12

Hi folks, I'm banging my head against how to properly pass a list of arguments in a variable through to a command in bash where the list of arguments itself has quoted values in it. Here's a test case script: $ cat odd-quoting.sh #!/bin/bash a='--debug --make-maker=--make-maker="INSTALLDIRS=vendor INSTALLMAN1DIR=none INSTALLMAN3DIR=none" --no-sign' echo cpan2rpm $a If I run that script with dash on Ubuntu it looks fine: $ sh -x odd-quoting.sh + a=--debug --make-maker=--make-maker="INSTALLDIRS=vendor INSTALLMAN1DIR=none INSTALLMAN3DIR=none" --no-sign + echo cpan2rpm --debug --make-maker=--make-maker="INSTALLDIRS=vendor INSTALLMAN1DIR=none INSTALLMAN3DIR=none" --no-sign [...] But if I run it with bash on either Ubuntu or my actual target, RHEL6, it gets it wrong: $ bash -x odd-quoting.sh + a='--debug --make-maker=--make-maker="INSTALLDIRS=vendor INSTALLMAN1DIR=none INSTALLMAN3DIR=none" --no-sign' + echo cpan2rpm --debug '--make-maker=--make-maker="INSTALLDIRS=vendor' INSTALLMAN1DIR=none 'INSTALLMAN3DIR=none"' --no-sign [...] I get the same problem if I run bash from its /bin/sh symlink on RHEL6. Any ideas what I'm missing here ? cheers, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC

Mysql Slightly OT
by Roger 02 May '12

02 May '12

I'm using Drupal 7 and mysql in Fedora 16 Drupal 7 organic groups has put entries into fields in the database but I do not know which tables or where in which tables. I have searched many tables manually but no luck. Is there a mysql command to find the contents of a field containing a specific word somewhere in the database? Apologies for OT Roger
