Synchronize directories from command prompt

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

If you have ever wanted to synchronize 2 directories from command prompt in windows this tool is must-have for you.
It works perfectly from scheduled tasks as well, so it’s easy to write batch script that will execute every night and synchronize files and folders.

The program is called Mirror and is written by Dominik Jain and you can download it here. The latest version is 1.43.

It works very simple like it should, you enter source and destinations dir and that’s it. If you want only to test it w/o any actions taken just add -d (d for demonstration).

Of course it has possibility to enter file mask or regular expressions as well and it’s only 172kb in size.

On his site you can find few more tools and utils that he wrote.

Finally – XP sound card driver for Dell XPS 430

Friday, May 15th, 2009

Finally thanks to driverpacks.net forum I have found sound card driver for my Dell XPS 430.

Sadly but Dell has built driver for this card to works only on Windows Vista and on IDT site it’s impossible to download drivers because they have such agreement with OEMs that they cannot provide drivers by themselves.

Pukkita has modified one of the IDT sound card drivers for Gateway and it works on my Dell.

Link for download you can find on Pukkita’s blog as well as Paypal Donations link.
