The Bacon-Wrapped Hot Dog

July 28th, 2008

It’s the perfect combination of greasy, crunchy, and salty. They’re wonderfully charcuteried tubes of porcine goodness. Devil dogs, dirty dogs, street dogs … they’re awesome. Until the next morning. Here’s a blog (on Amazon of all places) taking that concept a step further, Five Hot Dogs That Will Kill You. I’m interested in trying the French Fry Hot Dog on a Stick.

Concatenate Binary Files in Windows

July 7th, 2008

Here’s something I had to use recently. It’s very basic, but hopefully helps someone. Of course in Unix this is much easier (the cat command). Use the following to concatenate two binary files on the Windows command prompt. In this example the two files are file1 and file2, with the destination of destfile:

copy /b file1+file2 destfile

or if there are spaces in the file names:

copy /b “file 1″+”file 2″ “dest file”

You can concatenate more than two files, just append them with the plus. Source.
