I was looking into pricing for an all-in-one printer-fax-scanner-copier after a friend recommended the HP PSC 2410 Multifunction. Amazon had one listed here HP PSC 2410 Multifunction

What caught my eye was the product weight vs what they said the shipping weight was.

Does that mean that i’ll get 21 pounds of packing peanuts and other assorted packaging?

Driving north on the windward side of Oahu on Kamehameha Highway you will come across an area called Laie Bay. Just north of the Polynesian Cultural Center there is a stoplight at a shopping center. Turning right onto Anemoku and then right again onto Naupaka St will bring you to a parking area where you can wander out on the spit. You will probably find people fishing or having a picnic.

My parents took a picture of my cat Holly and Doug posted it. She’s got to be over 20 years old at this point. My dad says that if you give her a little push she’ll roll over on her side and drool on herself. She doesn’t go out hunting much anymore but still gets around okay. This picture was taken after much of her matted hair was shaved off.

Here’s my parents’ dog ‘Terd’. He looks so happy!

I picked up a new 2GB USB Flash Drive (aka Thumb Drive, whatever) and started copying files over to it. I had all of my documentation and keys copied over and thought, how handy would it be to have a copy of one of my Subversion repositories on here? What sounded like a good idea turned out to work, but wasn’t exactly fast.

I knew that it was going to be slow, but I figured it would be manageable.

First I started the process of checking out the repo to the flash drive. I’ll report those results later. Next I checked out a copy to my local hard drive.

Here are the results:

laptop:~/repos dustin$ time svn co
https://svnhost.com/svn/repo/trunk repo
--snip 596 A entries--
Checked out revision 133.
real    0m36.646s
user    0m2.690s
sys     0m5.628s

The results were lightning fast! Less than 37 seconds. So far, 53 entries have been checked out to the flash drive.

Okay, time to go clean the apartment a bit.

Back. It’s still going. So far i’ve cleaned up all of the trash and taken that out, washed the dishes, cleaned the stove, sink, counter, etc. The bathroom is clean now and i’ve got a load of clothes going.

Oh look. Joy:

svn: REPORT request failed on '/svn/repo/!svn/vcc/default'
svn: REPORT of '/svn/repo/!svn/vcc/default': Could not read response body: Secure connection truncated (https://svnhost.com)
real    52m50.427s
user    0m2.777s
sys     0m13.751s

almost 53 minutes. it didn’t complete and there’s a lock. svn cleanup.

laptop:/flash/repos dustin$ cd repo
laptop:/flash/repos dustin$ svn status

not good. minutes later it needs cleanup. 7 minutes later the cleanup finished. time to update. 12 minutes later the update finished. I now have a cleanly checked out copy of the repository.

So, after an hour and a half, i’ve got the repo checked out. Score!
