scripting gnome
I've been annoyed with OS X not supporting merging directories together (like if I copy the directory 'kaiser' to another directory that already has a directory 'kaiser', I don't want the new directory to replace the old directory—I want the contents of the new directory to add to the contents of the old directory). Not only that, I don't think there's a pretty or straight-forward way of copying all files newer than a specific date.
Windows Explorer did the merging thing naturally, and xcopy copied files newer than a specific time. And I think the issue is that Unix commands don't operate like that.
Well, thanks to my own ingenuity, I've created a PHP script that does both those things. And with a little more work, it could do a lot more that I've been hoping for in the past.
So exciting. !

Hey man.
I have a friend who has the same gripe with his Mac. Any chance of sharing that PHP file? Or at least giving some direction to a newbie PHP developer like myself…? : )
Cheers!
PS - Came across your blog through campaignmonitor API classes that you wrote. Nice one!
