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!

The picture on the left was borrowed from Hornady.com.. Thanks Hornady.

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).

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.

# m h dom mon dow user command

0 12,0 * * * /usr/bin/mysql -u username -ppassword database_name < ~/backupfile.sql

You can see that I am connecting to mysql with my -u username and -ppassword ( And no, I did not make a mistake by not putting a space in between -ppassword, its supposed to be like that, if you put a space in between it thinks that *space* is part of your password.) and telling it to import the sql file backupfile.sql to the database database_name. This script is good if you need to reload a DB with fresh new data everyday. For example if you have a TEST CRM that people can use and test, you dont want people to input so much junk, so you have to reset the test data ever so often.

I love cron. hes a good friend of mine!

These feelings I have could exist because i’m single maybe?

What im doing here is creating a crontab to backup my www root folder and my db.

To begin the process we first do the following in terminal as root or a regular user:

#>crontab -e
this will invoke nano, and you can input something similar to the following lines:

# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don’t have to run the crontab
# command to install the new version when you edit this file
# This file also has a username field, that none of the other crontabs do

SHELL=/bin/sh

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

# m h dom mon dow user  command

01 01 * * 0 /bin/tar cfP /mnt/nas/backup/www/`date +\%y-\%m-\%d`-server-name-www.tar /var/www
01 01 * * 0 /usr/bin/mysqldump –opt –all-databases > /mnt/nas/backup/mysql/`date +\%y-\%m-\%d`-server-name-mysql.sql

So basically whats happening here is we are tar-ing the www folder and sending it to the NAS drive with a timestamp. file ex will be: 09-01-01-server-name-www.tar

And its basically the same exact thing for the database backup.. Im just doing a mysqldump and the output goes to a sql file that ends up with the filename: 09-01-01-server-name-mysql.sql

Hope this helps someone..
