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.
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.
Perfect Stranger: Review
Just came from the cinema . Perfect Stranger movie was awesome, interesting, and worth every cent of the overly priced online ticket!. It shows how everyone of us has his/her dirty online (and indeed offline) secret and how we try to deceive ourselves about “burying” these secrets were no one know about.
Bruce Willis is a huge star, I just wish he appeared for a longer time in the movie. However, he fulfilled his role 100% as well as Hale Berry and Giovanni Ribisi.
It is interesting how they were using some crappy “software” instead of AOL/msn/yahoo/etc.. messenger just to avoid ruining the reputation of this chatting network or maybe for legal issues!. Even when they were using Mac OS X version of Netscape there was no hint for a mac or even “Netscape”!. They’ve tried hard to keep the audience think that people using the service are the source of the problem and not to interpret it to the network/service itself that they have used for online chatting.
The theater was hot. I couldn’t stop thinking about how I must buy – hopefully one day – my own HD TV or Projector and watch the latest DVD’s (Blue Ray) peacefully on PS3 at the comfort of my home.
I would rate the movie 4/5.
P.S. keeping in mind that the movie holding the 5/5 mark in my mind is The Gladiator.
