<blockquote><strong><font color="#FF0000">This is a complete motorcycle, the engine is completely disassembled and in need of repair.<br>It is not currently running.</font></strong></blockquote>

<p><strong>2001 Ducati 748 Superbike monoposto (single seat) in Fly Yellow</strong></p>

<p>Spun rod bearing.  The crankshaft, bearings, piston rods, and pistons need to be replaced and the engine needs to be re-assembled.  The bike is otherwise in normal operating order, light wear.  Less than 10,000 miles on the bike.  Bike was used as a weekend, sunny day vehicle only and is in otherwise great condition.  This bike is being sold as-is with its engine disassembled.</p>

<p>I'm interested in selling the complete bike if possible.  Will consider parting out if someone wants to buy a significant portion of the parts.</p>

<p>Photos of assembled bike <a href="http://photo.transmit.net/category/c1444-9-1.html">here</a>.</p>

<p>Recent photos of the disassembled bike <a href="http://www.transmit.net/people/woundedduc/">here</a>.</p>

<p>One owner.  Clean title.<br />
Lived in CO and AL, always garaged.<br />
VIN available upon request.<br />
Bike is located near Prattville, Alabama.<br />
Prefer you pickup motorcycle in person.<br />
Cash or certified funds only.<br />

        <![CDATA[<p>When performing a find and execing a grep on the results (scenario: searching for a string in all files in a directory and all subdirectories recursively) on Solaris, it has always frustrated me that the output shows matches but doesn't identify the filename that the match occurred in.</p>

<blockquote><font size="+1"><tt>$ find . -type f -exec grep string {} \;<br><br>
horse<br>horsefeathers</tt></font></blockquote>

<p>I've worked out a couple solutions that were cumbersome and kludgy when I recently came across a simple, direct solution to the problem.</p>

<p>In Solaris, when you grep for a pattern in one file, the grep command doesn't output the name of the file a match is found in.  There is no option to force the display of filenames (like -H in Linux) so you are left to engineer a solution yourself.  The best solution I've worked out involves providing a second filename (/dev/null) to the exec'd grep command, forcing it to print out the filename a match occurred in, when a match occurs.</p>

<blockquote><font size="+1"><tt>$ find . -type f -exec grep string {} <font color="#008800">/dev/null</font> \;<br><br><font color="#008800">./filename1:</font>horse<br><font color="#008800">./filename2:</font>horsefeathers</tt></font></blockquote>

<p>Problem solved and the solution is cross-platform.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Every time we adjust our clocks for Daylight Savings Time, my wife and I end up having a discussion about our perspective of the time change.</p>

<p>We both agree that in Fall (for instance) we move the clock hands back one hour.</p>

<p>I say we "lose an hour" because the clock hands moved backwards.</p>

<p>She insists we "gain an hour" because at the end of the day there were 25 hours in the day.</p>

<p>It's kind of like how the term "clockwise" loses its relevance when you are standing behind a see-through clock.  All about perspective.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[My hardware:<br>
<ul><li>Canon Rebel XTi (uses Compact Flash (CF) memory)<li>Inland USB multi-format SD/CF card reader ($12 at <a href="http://www.microcenter.com/">Micro Center</a>)<li>Dell PowerEdge 1800 running Fedora Core 10</ul>

My goal is to start out with files like this on the Compact Flash card::

<blockquote><pre><tt>[CF Card]/dcim/<font color="blue">102</font>canon/img_<font color="green">9999</font>.CR2
[CF Card]/dcim/<font color="blue">102</font>canon/img_<font color="green">9999</font>.JPG
[CF Card]/dcim/<font color="blue">103</font>canon/img_<font color="green">0000</font>.cr2
[CF Card]/dcim/<font color="blue">103</font>canon/img_<font color="green">0000</font>.jpg</tt></pre></blockquote>

run the script, and end up with the same files, transferred to the server and renamed like this:

<blockquote><pre><tt>[server photo repository]/2009/200902/20090215/img_<font color="blue">102</font><font color="green">9999</font>.cr2
[server photo repository]/2009/200902/20090215/img_<font color="blue">102</font><font color="green">9999</font>.jpg
[server photo repository]/2009/200902/20090215/img_<font color="blue">103</font><font color="green">0000</font>.cr2
[server photo repository]/2009/200902/20090215/img_<font color="blue">103</font><font color="green">0000</font>.jpg</tt></pre></blockquote>

Removal of files from CF card is performed manually by the Format function on the camera, once I'm sure all the files have survived the trip from CF to hard drive.<br><br>

The (re)naming convention assures unique file names for photos coming from my camera until I get to 10,000,000 photos.  At my current rate of taking pictures, that would be several thousand years.  It also allows me to easily manage my photos by year, month, or day (and eventually decade) as I choose.<br><br>  

I've written a script to automatically copy and rename my files from the CF card to an appropriate directory on the server when it is run.<br><br>

<blockquote><pre><tt>#!/bin/ksh
startdir=`pwd`
cfsourcedir="/mnt/usb"

# make sure to use your device name here, check output of 'dmesg' \
# on your server with card reader connected.
cfdeviceid="/dev/sdc1"
canondir="${cfsourcedir}/dcim"
datepath="/photos/raw/`/bin/date +%Y/%Y%m/%Y%m%d`"

sudo umount $cfsourcedir

sudo mount $cfdeviceid $cfsourcedir
result=$?;

if [ $result -eq 0 ];then

   if [ -d $datepath ]; then
      echo "Directory $datepath exists"
   else
      mkdir $datepath
   fi
   #echo "canondir: $canondir"
   #echo "datepath: $datepath"

   rsync -az $canondir/* $datepath --stats --progress | \
   tee -a /tmp/loadfromcf.out
   cd $datepath
   for i in `find -type d |sed 's/^.\///g' |grep -v ^\.$`
   do
      cd $i
      directorynumber=`echo $i | sed 's/CANON//g' |sed 's/canon//g'`
      for j in `ls -1 *`
      do 
         k=`echo $j |sed "s/img_/img_$directorynumber/g" |\
   sed 's/IMG_/IMG_${directorynumber}/g' |sed 's/JPG/jpg/g' |sed 's/CR2/cr2/g'`
         mv $j ../$k
         chown speed:speed ../$k
         chmod 0544 ../$k
      done
      cd ..
      rmdir $i 
   done
fi

sudo umount /mnt/usb

if [[ $result = 0 ]];then
   grep -i Number /tmp/loadfromcf.out | tail -2
   pwd
fi
</tt></pre></blockquote>

I've also contemplated modifying this script so it would automatically (cron) check for a CF card in the reader, then automatically start the copying process.  If I make this modification, I'll post it here as well.<br>
<br>
I'll be adding code/comments as I improve this script.]]>

If anyone has the authority to arrange (or can point me to the appropriate contact to get proper permission) for such an opportunity I'd greatly appreciate it.  I'm looking for interesting venues or scenes.</p>

<p>I'm thinking along the lines of:<br />
<ul><li>Anywhere abandoned<li>Warehouses (new and old)<li>Factories<li>Junkyards/Recycling<li>Automotive Salvage/Scrapyards<li>Mines/Tunnels/Caves<li>Stadiums<li>Roofs or high floors of tall buildings (with an interesting view)<li>Abandoned equipment<li>Inventory (large amounts of items in stacks, piles, rows)<li>Scrap piles<li>Shrines or churches (occupied or abandoned)</ul></p>

<p>I'm based in Prattville, Alabama and am most interested in opportunities within a day's drive or a 1-state radius outside of Alabama, but would be interested in discussing any other opportunities.</p>

<p>If you want your organization's name included with the shots when they are displayed, I can include it.  If you'd prefer anonymity, I can leave the organization's name out.  If you are looking for promotional imagery, I'd be glad to discuss usage.</p>

<p>Anyone with information or leads can contact me at <a href="mailto:speed-up@transmit.net">speed-up@transmit.net</a>.  Any leads are appreciated.</p>]]>
