Turns out to be quiet simple.

On the web server

Create a folder to host live site (live)

mkdir live

Create a folder to host git repository (repo)

mkdir repo

Create git bare repository in folder (repo)

cd repo

git init --bare

Within the hooks folder create a file called post-receive

nano hooks/post-receive

with the following text

#! /bin/sh
GIT_WORK_TREE="../live" git checkout -f

Now ensure the folder live is writable by the web server and that the file post-receive is executable. This hooks means that when the repository is committed to it will check out the files to the live web directory.

On the local box

Now on the box that the files exisit all you need to do is add a new remote (I tend to call it web but it can be called anything).

git remote add web *your-remote-url*

and then when you push the files will be made live.

Shared a ride with part of Sideband which was fun and got to see a bit more of Louisiana this time in the daylight.

Impressed with the amount of free wifi available in both New Orleans and Philadelphia airport in fact I am writing this at the departure gate for my transatlantic flight.

After having been to Philadelphia a few times now I finally succumbed and tried a Philly Cheese steak at Chickie and Pete’s was very good.

So american trip been a lot of fun but looking forward to getting home.

Notational Approaches for a Laptop Ensemble and appeared on a panel regarding Improvisation as Composition for Laptop Ensembles then got to see Sideband and the European Bridges Ensemble play which was great.

Also made time to see Mike the Tiger, the Shaquille O‘Neal statue (which involved walking across the campus which is huge) and ate alligator for the first time as well.

L2orK also performed today and while the show was interesting there stage show could be much grander!!

Food has been good, enjoyed more root beer and walked across the campus in the heat, typical English activity!!

Afterwards head on to the LSU campus for two workshops. (At this point I should explain that I am here to attend the first every Symposium on Laptop Ensembles & Orchestras SLEO comment about the symposium can be found on my research blog.)

After the workshops I had my first experience of Crawfish apparently a local delicacy enjoyed a few but its a lot of effort for only a little meat and I ended up just using my Crawfish bodies to talk to people sitting next to me. Due to the Crawfish incident I went to Chimes and enjoyed Hush Puppies and a burger with Barq’s Root Beer.

Then head to Stein’s Market and Deli for a Jeff Berger for a lunch with a root beer, the first of this trip.

Then along to the french quarter, a stroll down Bourbon and Royal with a quick viewing of the river and lots of photos.

Finally rode a Street Car back along St. Charles back to were I was staying.

Once getting back I persuade Ray as to the importance of playing ottd while he attempted to persuade me to start playing Dwarf Fortress,

At which point we went to get tea, real good pizza and I headed upto Baton Rouge to get to SLEO. I plan to blog about SLEO at http://ablelemon.co.uk/ .

Flight from Manchester to Philadelphia was quiet and very enjoyable enjoyed watching Mission Impossible Ghost Recon and Real Steel on the flight as well as writing my presentation.

The internal flights went well and was nice to pass through Charlotte Douglas International Airport and see all the Duke and Tarhills memorabilia brought back nice memories.

Finally made it New Orleans and enjoyed all you can eat Catfish at Joey K’s followed by IceCream at The Creole Creamery followed up by a stroll through a bit of the Garden District past The Prytania Theatre.

Its a powerful film about the ongoing criminal actions of a Joseph Kony in Uganda, the campaign to see him brought to justice and how we as citizens of the earth can act against this.

I find the idea of individual citizens uniting as a group to achieve something exciting and the enabling power of the internet makes this a unique time for this kind of citizen activism.

It is interesting to also consider how this highlights the inaction of governments on some issues until it is prompted to by its citizenry. While I understand that many will cite the failings of Make Poverty History and the Climate Change campaigns as an illustration as to how ineffective these campaigns can be I still think that it is always worth trying.

So please make time to watch the film,

and apologies I suspect I will mention this a few more times.

The Guardian has a great discusion about the issues online here.

So that is ace

The Inclusive Improv team might be getting some new members and a 2012 spring season.

An album I have been working on is getting mastered for release.

The Audio Podcast is almost a year old.

I start teaching at a new university on Friday an incredible blessing.

Also I bought another computer but I am going to podcast about it.

And I am spending even more time in emacs and org-mode.

So that is what I have been doing these past few weeks.
