March 31st, 2008 — it's all about me
Time Machine
March 27th, 2007 — it's all about me
Well, I’ve been giving thought to what the hell I’m doing with my life and I haven’t come up with much… Actually, I haven’t been thinking that but it seemed like a good way to start the post. With that in mind I thought I’d have a look back through the vast sevenapril archives to see what was happening in past years on this day.
March 27th, 2007 - writing a post about what the hell I’m doing with my life. Fairly predictable…
March 27th, 2006 - a rant of sorts on Web 2.0 which resulted in the 30 Boxes founder actually commenting about my post. Kinda cool, I suppose…
March 27th, 2005 - hey! I was in Tokyo for the first time! I survived the flight from Korea and bus into Tokyo with the worst head cold ever. Good times. This was only weeks before I started at Atimi. I can’t believe that was two years ago. Hmmm…
March 28th, 2005 - I posted on the 28th, blowing the whole freakin’ streak I was on. I was back in Hooterville and apparently, somewhat dismayed at being rejected after a bad interview. Frankly, that could have been anytime since 2000. Probably a month on from my first visit to Korea. That was a cool trip.
March 28th, 2003 - Good grief. I was going on about how I had just pulled my longest day yet at the Company That Sucked yet I was so happy to be there. I use the past tense as there’s a good chance they don’t suck anymore and after being outta work for nine months, I was pretty happy to be there. That wouldn’t last…
March 28th, 2002 - No idea as the first blog post wouldn’t come until September. As I recall I was working crazy, stupid hours at Infowave and waiting for the other shoe to drop. I believe it dropped in June…
March 28th, 2001 - Again, no idea but I had just started at Infowave, not having the slightest idea of the impact it would have on my life. All for the best too…
March 28th, 2000 - I know I was in school and still in the shop full time too. My final push after a near mental break down as grad was only two months away. I didn’t go to the graduation ceremony and told them to mail my diploma. I guess it was a means to an end…
So there you have it. A day in the life for the past 7 years or so. Seems like yesterday…
Hardly Fair
March 22nd, 2007 — it's all about me
Sorry about the other day; that was hardly fair. But what can I do? When she wants to talk, we talk. I mean, if she were here now, I wouldn’t even be allowed to be on the computer.
Ok, that’s enough of that. We’re no longer talking about the last post. Moving on… How about another fascinating post on my back up program that is ridiculously anal in scope? Excellent!
I paid for SuperDuper!. I had been using the free version before but that meant I was doing a full backup each time. Figure on over two hours for that.
Now with the paid version I can do an incremental backup, which averages about 15 minutes depending on several factors such as how much pr0n Biff might have sent me. I’m also eying up a 300GB SATA drive and enclosure in preparation for Leopard and Time Machine. One can never be too safe nor have too many geek toys littering ones apartment.
The way I see it, my futures involves purchasing sweaters and sensible shoes much more than geeky toys, so I need to get my ducks in a row before she gets here. I’m of the opinion that a case can be made for needing terabytes of redundant storage enclosed in shiny cases with buttons and blinking lights. Multiple routers, protected network segments and yes, a server which backs up the back ups… “Dammit, I’m trying to preserve our memories here…”
Sorry about that. I didn’t mean to go off like that. Maybe I should go for a walk or something. I wonder how late Macstation is open…
