I was just sitting here, watching youtube vids of all these new age bands and thinking to myself how much they suck talent wise… And than i came across a SRV song and once again I thought to myself, this guy was just WAY WAY more talented than anybody else ive ever heard play the damn guitar. The technical skills he has and soul he puts into his playing is just a deadly killer combo! I wish I could have met him in real life because I would tell him how passionately I enjoy his talent and his music. I dont think there will ever be anyone as good as this guy EVER! I just wanted to share that with this world and maybe some people who dont like SRV can understand and listen to his music and soul and his passion for playing music. Rest in peace Stevie man!

I will install a FRESH copy of snow leopard OSX.. Unfortunately I do not have the original CD’s for this computer.
So I decided to take a flight with my brother and see what it was all about. He is getting his private pilots license, and I went along for the ride. Check out this video of me capturing the take-off in this tiny plane.
This is odd… but I got into reloading bullets because I thought I could save a bit of money making my own bullets as opposed to buying them for $40 a box. Im not talking FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) bullets but JHP (Jacketed Hollow Points). From my understanding, reloading FMJ bullets doesn’t really save you much money. But seriously, all points aside here, the real reason for reloading a bullet is for consistency, accuracy, pride and knowing that your handcrafted bullet is custom made to fit the gun you are shooting. Most of the time, the bullets you buy in the store are created “universally” for different gun manufacturers, which make it easier for the average person to just buy bullets and not worry about if it fits or not. The only downfall of purchasing pre-made “universal” bullets is that you sacrifice accuracy. Now if your some gangster just wanting to bust a cap in someones ass, than this probably wont matter to you, but if your someone that enjoys to shoot for accuracy and consistency than you may want to consider reloading. Enough of my jabbering…
Let me begin by saying that all information posted here are recipes taken from the Hornady 7th edition Handbook of Cartridge Reloading. In no way am I responsible for any mistakes or actions that you may take in using this information to create your own reloads. So please consult your own handbook before making or shooting any reloads for your own safety as well as others.
My first batch of 9mm 147 grain Hornady XTP/HP bullets were loaded using the following recipe:
4.5 grains of Power Pistol (gun powder)
1.100″ C.O.L. (Cartridge overall length)
CCI 500 primers
With this recipe, the bullet should theoretically travel at 900 fps. I also loaded 50 rounds with 4.2 grains of power pistol giving me a velocity of 850 fps. But why such slow speeds? Because I wanted to start low and work my way up to 10% below the maximum grains (5.1 was maximum). I’m keepin it on the safe side.
Now its off to the range to see how well they perform before I make the second batch!

ok.. well after searching the internet via google… once again I was disappointed to find nothing about replacing a current folder in the svn repo with a newer folder that contains no .svn directories.
Just so you guys know.. the reason i was doing this was to upgrade my version of wordpress.. My site is on subversion control and i just wanted to replace the wp-includes folder with the newer wp-includes folder. So this is how I did it.
First i deleted the old folder: ~$ svn delete old_folder_name
Than i commit the delete with a nice little message: ~$ svn commit -m "deleted old folder"
Than i add the new folder in the repo: ~$ cp /path/to/new_folder /path/to/new_folder_destination
Than i tell svn im adding the new folder: ~$ svn add new_folder/
Than finally i commit: ~$ svn commit -m "added new folder"
Done. Hope this helps… its better than deleting the whole repo and creating a new one with the new folders.. (some of what i read from google searches).
Im glad to say that it is actually possible to mount an ext3 formatted linux drive in mac OS X Snow Leopard using a few tools. Let me share with you how I did it.
Download fuse-ext2
Also make sure you have MacFUSE otherwise fuse-ext2 wont work.
Install both of those and run a few commands in terminal:
first, create a mount point such as: $ sudo mkdir /Volumes/HD
next, navigate to the fuse-ext2 folder: $ cd /usr/local/bin/
execute the fuse command: $ sudo ./fuse-ext2 /dev/nameOFdisk /Volumes/HD/ -o force
note:(nameOFdisk can be found by typing disktool -l).
Heres some useful information if you dont understand my syntax:
$ fuse-ext2 <device|image> <mountpoint> [-o option[,...]]
options:
ro : mount read only
force: mount read/write
allow_others: allow other users to access
debug: noisy debug output
Voila! your drive should mount, and you should have read/write access as well! man i love mac.
