But, as I am sure with most people, I don't want a full-blown server to control the versions of my applications. I want a quick tool that I can 'just use'.</p> <p>So, sometime soon, I will release a little application that does that. It uses SQLite3 as a back-end database (serverless) to control the files for my applications. I have doen most of it - it's pretty manual at the moment, but that'll change over time I guess.</p> <p>This is how it looks at the moment. I can store files and update them with an automatic method. It isn't too clever at the moment - bit this is the first stab.</p> <p><img src="http://data2.blog.de/media/457/1298457_62339b1eca_m.png" alt="Targenlet - Working" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="487" height="375"></p> <p>The differences in files screenshot is shown below:</p> <p><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1298458" title="Targenlet - File Diffs"><img src="http://data2.blog.de/media/458/1298458_8512b4d9f3_m.png" alt="Targenlet - File Diffs" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="400" height="375"></a></p> <p>Looks good for now, but I'm still working on it - soon as I am done, I'll let you know.<br></p> <p> <small> <a href="http://eitsop.blog.co.uk/2007/04/03/source_control~2025287/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:eitsop.blog.co.uk,2007-04-02:/2007/04/02/tar_files~2022819/Eitsop2007-04-02T22:52:24+02:002007-04-02T23:07:31+02:00 <p>My first blog, so it's my first thoughts I guess. Well not a lot to say at the moment. I am trying to work on some sort of new operating system thingy. I was searching round and found LFS (Linux From Strach). Looks good I thought - good place to start, looking at someone else's examples, so I downloaded it.</p> <p>That's when (being a Windows XP user) I hit the first block - it's a tar file. XP doesn't have anything to natively extract tar files, and WinZip and event 7Zip require installation and the such. Couldn't be bothered with that, so here ya go: a simple to use .tar file extracter.</p> <p><a href="http://www.goodsellsystems.co.uk/downloads/TarExtract.exe">TarExtract.exe</a></p> <p>I knocked it up quickly in Visual Studio 2005 - so you'll need the .Net 2.0 framework. I haven't done an installation program, as that just wastes space for most people (well, the sort of people who'll be trying to extract .tar files anyway).</p> <p>As I did it quickly there might be a few odd bugs - if there let me know in the comments for now.</p> <p>I personally added it to my 'Send To' list. <br></p> <p> <small> <a href="http://eitsop.blog.co.uk/2007/04/02/tar_files~2022819/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>
