Welcome!


Gibdon Moon is the name of a signature symbol I created as an aspiring young artist, inspired by my talented brother Tarraccas, but I soon lost track of learning to draw and instead it became a title to rally my other works (programming and prose) under. Today I use it for my personal, public brain dumps where you can disagree with my opinions, leave hateful/spammy comments, and enjoy my witty unpracticed writing skills.

Linux: Rename Multiple Files with Date

Thursday, March 04, 2010
You want to rename multiple files by putting the modified date of each file in its name?  Me too, all the time.  Here's what I put together to do just that (and am blogging it for reference):
for w in *.jpeg; do mv $w `date +"%Y%m%d"`-$w; done
This changes the filename of all files ending with ".jpeg" and prefixes them with a YYYYMMDD timestamp followed by a dash.

Mountain Bus March

Wednesday, March 03, 2010
Red morning through window screen

This morning I got to Seattle in time to board an Amtrak Superliner with mere minutes to spare. Note to self: forty-five minutes isn't quite enough buffer time to get all the way there from Redmond.

Back of train car empty

Upon arrival in Centralia I didn't have to wait long to take the "L.E.W.I.S. Mountain Transit" bus (e.g. Lewis County Mountain Bus) to Silvercreek.



From the Texico off Highway 12 I began walking up to and then on Cinebar road. This picture is for Cory Seefurth (Dude, my phone is refusing to send pics from down here):

Some more pictures from my walk ...

My memory said it was three miles to my destination and it took me an hour and twenty minutes to get there (boo!). Later pa corrected me and we checked it via the odometer: 4.7. Not bad for carrying a poorly packed ... uh ... pack.

And just for fun, I present Find the Buu(da) ...
