Shetboy gets all the achievements that matter to head down under and be my best man! Hurray!!

Can’t wait! =D

Lets say you’ve got a bunch of folders taking up a large swathe of space which you never really use but want to keep, just not taking up stacks of your NAS… How can you easily compress them all up to individual archives of each folder? Dead easy:

1
2
3
4
5

#!/bin/bash
for folder in */
do
  7z a -mx9 -mmt "${folder%/}.7z" "$folder"
done

Save that to a file, chmod +x it and run in the location you want to compress the folders. Every folder (and all contents within) will be compressed to its own foldername.7z archive.

With 7z, -mx9 is the flag for maximum compression, and -mmt says to use multiple CPUs to speed up compression, so omit that part if you’re on a single core machine.

And I love her, and the kids, and it’s going to be fantastic =D

Hurray!!

She’s off in Melbourne atm, choosing a wedding dress or five – and everything feels right – but we don’t have a song! Every couple needs a song! I’ve ruled out NWA – Fuck The Police and maybe Rage Against The Machine – Killing In The Name, but everything else is fair game…

Prolly thinking more BT and Modest Mouse, as those were the bands we met over…

Or all of them and more! Who says you have to pick one song? I keep my seashell collection scattered on the beaches of the world, perhaps you’ve seen it? [credit]

Anyways, I’m really excited about the whole thing, because I love her and the kids to bits and I want to stay with them, and if that’s in Australia, Alaska, Albuquerque or Aberystwyth – I’m there.

This is a happy time.
