So basically I lost pretty much all the posts I’ve had before, so I get to start fresh.

Lately I’ve been just doing work/eat/sleep. Looking forward to Thanksgiving and especially Christmas (friends coming out to visit). I’ve installed Mac OS 10.5 Leopard on my Mac Mini and Macbook Pro and its quite awesome. Time Machine is, bar none, the best consumer level backup solution on the market. Now, it is not without flaws and shortcomings. It doesn’t support backing up to a SMB/NFS server share out of the box. This is irritating because I have a 1.4 TB storage server for such purposes, and would rather the backups go there than monopolize a couple firewire/USB drives for backing up. There is a way to force it (defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1) but allegedly it puts your data integrity at risk, so I’ve been just backing up to some external drives and going to rsync them to the server. We’ll see.

Other than that, I’ve been rebuilding the gallery, and putting up all those stupid things I’ve found over the internets, and pictures of my cat.
