If I were going to rip off a website

I'd do something other than use the .org domain name of the .com site i was ripping off. But that is just me....

dotfiles.com
dotfiles.org

Xb: you should sue his ass.

Of course, you never got a mention in the RailsEnvy Podcast....

I could work for Apple

They make up words too....

Look under Video Quality Improvements here.

Note I tried to screen cap a context menu, but I couldn't figure out how.

Recently Read Books

Thirteen - Richard K Morgan

About 150 pages too long.  Not as well-crafted as his Tokeshi Kovacs novels, but still good escapist fun.  The US has split into a few countries around essentially blue states and red states.  It's not clear exactly what happened to Illinois?  The most interesting thing is that it's titled "Black Man" in the UK.

Moneyball - Michael Lewis

I'm on a bit of a Michael Lewis kick with Panic! (easily the best excerpt was this one) and all his recent financial writings.  If you love baseball, actually if you know anything about baseball, you'll dig this book.  It's fun to read it a few years on and recognize many of the names in the book.  Good enough to tempt me into becoming an A's fan.

Mac users don't know unix

In yet another example of how Mac users don't know Unix, I keep reading about how great SuperDuper is and how everyone should use it in addition to TimeMachine. Here it is:

It makes bootable backups of your HD. And if you pay $28, you can automatically schedule the backups to happen. And after the first backup, it only copies the changes.

Or, you could put this in your crontab:

0 5 * * * rsync -vaxE --delete --ignore-errors / /Volumes/BackupDrive/

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that does everything SuperDuper does as long as you setup BackupDrive to be bootable when you format/partition it.
