It’s very rudimentary, and probably mostly inefficient –> for example, I didn’t know if there was ‘contains’ method so I just run through a for loop to find the right file. (:

This will remove everything but the avi file that remains once the unrarring is complete. a real time saver for me! (:

You will need this python module to use winrar: it’s by ‘chilkat’ –> http://www.example-code.com/python/rar_unrar.asp

Here it is:

import sys
import os
import chilkat

rar = chilkat.CkRar()
dirs = os.listdir('./')

for dir in dirs:
    if (dir.find("National") >=0):
        print dir+"\n\n"
        fileList = os.listdir(dir)
        for possibleMatch in fileList:
            if (possibleMatch.find(".rar") >= 0):
                rarFile = possibleMatch

        success = rar.Open(dir + "/" + rarFile)
        if (success != True):
            print rar.lastErrorText()
            sys.exit()
        else:
            print "opened"

        success = rar.Unrar(dir+"/")
        if (success != True):
            print rar.lastErrorText()
        else:
            print "Success."

        print "\n\n"+dir+"\n\n"

        path = "C:\\National.Geographic.Pack\\"+dir
        samplePath = path+"\\Sample\\"

        sampleAvi = os.listdir(samplePath)

        os.remove(samplePath+sampleAvi[0])
        os.rmdir(samplePath)
        for file in os.listdir(dir):
            if (file.find(".avi") < 0):
                if(os.path.isdir(file)):
                    os.rmdir(file)
                else:
                    try:
                        os.remove(path+"\\"+file)
                    except OSError:
                        print "OS Error"

            else:
                print "good"

I also wrote another one which would then take the period-explosion of names from downloads and rename it to something a little more human readable/nicer looking:

import sys
import os

dirs = os.listdir('./')

for dir in dirs:
    if (dir.find("National") >=0):
        asdf = dir.split('.')
        length = len(asdf)
        new = ''
        for x in asdf[2:length-2]:
            if (x.find("WS") < 0):
                new+=x+" "

        print new
        os.rename(dir,new)

I’ve completed the site I made for my solutions from first semester in Physics graduate school.

if you let this into your mind – i feel it can help to broaden your worldview.

[FROM THE README]

3. Using the driver as a kernel patch
#############################################################################

You must have a full kernel source tree to use the driver as a patch.
To patch a kernel source tree, run the command

# cd rr222x-linux-src-1.xx/product/rr2220/linux/
# make patchkernel KERNELDIR=

For an unconfigured 2.6 kernel source tree, include/linux/version.h may
not exist so you should add “KERNEL_VER=2.6″ to the command:

# make patchkernel KERNELDIR= KERNEL_VER=2.6

Then you can configure the driver into kernel during the kernel
configuration process (e.g. “make menuconfig”). It is listed under
scsi low level drivers.

Below is an example to make and install a kernel with the driver built-in:

# cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.22
# make menuconfig

Select “Device Drivers —>” and press enter.
Select “SCSI device support”, then press ‘Y’ to make it built-in.
Select “SCSI disk support” then press ‘Y’ to make it build-in.
Select “SCSI low-level drivers —>” and press enter.
Select “HighPoint RocketRAID 2220 support” and press ‘Y’.
Exit and save the kernel configuration.

# make
# make modules_install
# make install

Then you can reboot from the new kernel.

I actually don’t own this server anymore, but I figured I’d post this from the drafts section.

Good luck and Cheers.

It’s pretty astounding when you think about the effort that went into making this thing…

Anyway, here’s the rap:

On my own codes I got a 3x speed improvement. — neat!

Anyway — CHECK IT OUT!! The link is up at the top.

which expresses the antilinearity of the inner product with respect to the first factor
in the inner product. In other words, the inner product of a linear superposition
with another vector is the corresponding superposition of inner products if the super-
position occurs in the second factor, while it is the superposition with all coefficients
conjugated if the superposition occurs in the first factor. This asymmetry, unfamiliar
in real vector spaces, is here to stay and you will get used to it as you go along.
