Working split in FLDIGI

Most things are easy to work out in FLDIGI, but I just tried working a station that was working RTTY split, listening 1 up. You can certainly do this via settings on your radio but FLDIGI allows you to set different rx and tx freqs too – which is easier as it’s just point and click:

  • select the tx freq and press the ‘Lck’ button – this fixes the tx
  • clicking anywhere on the waterfall after you’ve pressed Lck now sets the receive

Don’t forget to unclick Lck when you’re done.

I got this from the manual here (funnily enough).

Final Cut Express 4 notes

I rarely use Final Cut Express, usually iMovie does everything I need. Whenever I come back to FCE though, I always forget how to do some of the simplest tasks. A few reminders for myself:

  • To add a transition between clips you need in and out points set first to define where the transition should start/end (on both of the clips between which you are adding the transition)
  • Double-click a clip in the timeline to load it into the viewer to edit it’s properties
  • Overlay videos by dragging each clip to a track in the timeline. You can resize, move and clip each overlaid video in the ‘Motion’ properties tab in the viewer
  • To use the Chroma Key effect to overlay a video, drag the Chroma settings tab out of the viewer, then use the ‘dropper’ to select the background color in the video clip

Maven settings.xml config for default Sonar db server

If you want to set a default Sonar configuration for all your Maven projects to run against, you can add your settings as a profile in the profiles section in your default settings.xml in either your ~/.m2 dir or your maven_install_dir/conf dir (depending which you’re using)

<profiles>
    <profile>
            <id>sonar</id>
            <activation>
                <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
            </activation>
            <properties>
                <!-- MySQL -->
                <sonar.jdbc.url>
                    jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sonar?useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncoding=utf8
                </sonar.jdbc.url>
                <sonar.jdbc.driver>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</sonar.jdbc.driver>
                <sonar.jdbc.username>your_sonar_db_userid</sonar.jdbc.username>
                <sonar.jdbc.password>your_sonar_pwd</sonar.jdbc.password>
            </properties>
        </profile>
  </profiles>
