In Response To: Something to post about? (Zach)

: Man we need some action here.

Indeed.

: Ummmm, what I've been up to lately: I FINALLY started trying to do shit with
: Automator. Initially, I was kind of disappointed to see that there isn't
: much for making disk utility calls. I am trying to automate backups to the
: server at work and to my airdisk at home. However, I did spend some time
: figuring out how to use hdiutil in the terminal, then used automator to
: compress/encrypt my data via a shell command and then copy it to the
: appropriate spot on the server. It took me a few hours to get it right,
: but it gave me a geeky sense of accomplishment when it was done.

That's cool. I still haven't gotten around to playing with Automator. I just don't seem to have any tasks (outside of Photoshop, in which case I create an action) that need automating.

: Also back-up related: Bombich released a beta of Carbon Copy Cloner 3.0. This
: is about 1.5 yrs overdue. So far it seems pretty sweet. I've used CCC 2.3
: for years to make monthly clones of all my machines.

Yeah, I've used CCC a number of times. Sadly I don't back up as regularly as I ought. Perhaps I should snag this new CCC and create an Automator task to back up for me.

Lately I've mostly been up to studying Calculus and Chemistry and doing Technical Writing. Yay school.

Oh yeah, and playing SSX Blur. Which I wasn't sure I liked for the first hour or so I played. Then the controls clicked and suddenly it became one of the best games on Wii.
