Extra Storage
Since the day I’ve discovered the wonders of Torrents I started downloading TV series and unsubscribed my ntl for good. This lead to a huge shortage of space on my 160GB HD iMac. Currently I’ve only got 6GB of free space and thats a bit scary. I bought my self iomega 500GB “Desktop Hard Drive” and started transfering stuff to it. Guess How long it takes.
Let’s hope its done before my flight back to Kuwait tomorrow 4am!
P.S.: This is just the Movies folder. There is another 5GB worth of music.
Why I’de Like to Get an iPhone
I’ve bean craving for a new phone since summer and I had the Tyten II in mind as THE phone to get.
But HTC phones aren’t that good. They lag and are windows based (a.k.a endless crashes and restarts). So as far as I know, the iPhone:
1- Runs quite smoothly
2- Has a lot of hype around it = a lot of programs coming out
3- It looks nice
4- Lost my iPod
What draws me back though
1- Lack of GPS
2- Difficulties with sms/mms.
3- Not supporting windows pocketpc apps.
4- 2MB flash less camera.
The GPS isn’t really a big deal in Kuwait as most of modern cars has it and you almost know where to go most of the time, and once you do, you don’t need the GPS anymore.
Not being able to write sms in the traditional alphanumeric way (3arabi) along with the lack of switching off the auto-complete feature is a draw back. Not to mention the absence of forwarding sms ability and mms!
Yeswa ?

Backup: Discovering The Full Potential of Automator and iPod
So I am heading back to Mishref this summer, and I needed to backup all the stuff I have on my iMac to my iPod. iPhoto and iCal are already synced so as the address book and music of course. Few folders remained not synced so I enabled the desk usage on the iPod and dragged and dropped the folders. Then I remembered a nifty tool called Automator. After spending 20 min’s I made up a workflow that whenever I plug my iPod it will:
1- Rename the files on the desktop by adding todays date after each of them
2- “clean up” the desktop by moving these file to a backup folder on my iMac
3- Copy all the new files to my iPod
This will make me miss my iMac for the whole summer. Luckily I got my macbook to play with meanwhile.
