Shantanu Vs The World

Perforce is an excellent revision control system for the code but the GUIs (P4WIN and P4V) are too slow to be productive. Hence, I like to do most of my work through command lines. Now, the other day I needed to add a directory and all its subdirectories and files to the repository (or perforce depot). This is a trivial task through the GUI. Just drag the top level directory onto the changelist area and the GUI takes care of everything but there is no straightforward way to do this through command line, until, I discovered the “-x” option of P4.

Asus WL-500W is a greate wi-fi router with lots of features, one of them being able to use it as a media server to serve movies/songs over your network from a hard disk connected directly to it through USB. But the media server that is included in the official firmware leaves a lot to be desired. If you are a fan of twonky, all you would have heard so far would have been that to use it on your router, you’d have to change your firmware over to a non-official one. [Read More]

Note: Please DIGG this post by clicking here or Reddit this post by clicking here. I’ll be one of the proud owners of a very special steel book edition of Killzone 2 very soon. The cool part being that it’d be much before most of the rest of the world gets to even see these little babies because the official release date is still five days away. And the icing on the cake “A free classic Art Book”. [Read More]
