This is a lovely little aircraft, the kit is made by Stevens Aero in the US, I found it being sold in the UK by Micron Radio Control.

Having gutted the Sukhoi for the electronics, the build proceeded real quick using mostly thin Cyano, an evening at most I’d say and another evening to cover the wings. I’ve made a page for it here, more updates when I’ve flown it!

So a few weeks past and our tank is settling in nicely, it was time to return to the Fish shop and get the first occupants.  The nice chap at the shop advised us that Zebra Danios were a nice starter fish and they look pretty cool, all silvery and stripey. Because our family now numbers four we had to have one each! They seem quite happy in their new home, it has been a few days and all four are still alive 🙂

According to Wikipedia they are a native of the Himalayan region and are a common home aquarium fish. Well they seem to be settling in quite nicely in North London!

A little while ago we noticed that our toddler was showing an interest in the fish tank at a local library, I’ve always fancied an aquarium so it was decided we should get a little one for home.

After speaking to a couple of friends who are very seriously into keeping fish and chatting to a local fish specialist I decided to buy a 48 litre starter tank. I was advised that much smaller could be an upkeep nightmare and anything much bigger started to push the budget!  The model we went for was a Interpet Fish Pod 48l which we bought from the local supplier.

It came with a heater, pump, lights and a little thermometer. All we needed was some gravel, plants and of course fish!

The picture over there is of the finished tank all setup and filled with water. I was advised to leave it like this, without fish for a couple of weeks before going to get some ‘hardy’ fish at first.  So now we wait for a little while before we go and get some fishes!

This is an update to the earlier post where I linked to some RPMs which I maintain for my own purposes. If you find these useful, please feel free to download them.

In the filenames, el6 is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (Centos), el5 is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (Centos), fc7 is Fedora Core 7.

If a link is broken, feel free to have a click around the SVN repository, the root of where I keep all the RPM stuff is here. Or please email me.

Notes from the migration of my personal SVN repo to Git and also onto the hosted Git platform Bitbucket.org.

First step was to tell my local git install who I was:

$ git config --global user.name "Robin Kearney"
$ git config --global user.email "robin@kearney.co.uk"

I always set the following too:

$ git config --global color.diff auto
$ git config --global color.status auto
$ git config --global color.branch auto

Then to import a section of my SVN repo:

$ git svn clone --authors-file=path/to/authors_file SVN_REPO_URL LOCAL_DIR
$ cd LOCAL_DIR
$ git svn show-ignore > .gitignore
$ git remote add origin git@bitbucket.org:rk295/GIT_REPO.git
$ git push origin master

Some people advise using -s on the ‘git svn’ command, which tells git to expect trunk/ tags/ etc. But I dont use those in my repo, so I omitted it.

SVN_REPO_URL is the full http://…. URL to the SVN repo to import, or in my case a sub-section of it.

The --authors-file tells git the location of a text file which maps SVN users to Git users, mine looked like this:

robin = Robin Kearney <robin@kearney.co.uk>

[]({{ “/uploads/2011/05/blade_120_sr.jpeg” | prepend: site.baseurl }})We are having a bit of a de-clutter here at home so I decided that the 120SR could go, I’m not flying it much recently and in reality it just sits around collecting dust, so on eBay it went. I’ve updated its own page here. Roll on the full CP and possibly Flybarless version!
