If I'm really going to move this blog over I'd better do some reading.

The word "bloggernacle" is a word I don't comprehend.
I know Dan has thrown around the term before, but I'm not sure I knew what it was then. Seems to be mormons writing about being mormons... or mormons writing nothing about mormons. Kind of interesting.
I think I'll have to just bookmark these two links so I can check back in on them later when I have more time.

Number 1 seems to be a collection of them, Number 2 was one that was linked to from Dan's site. And I haven't had time to read it yet. But I'll get there.
So this is really just a 'get back to this at some point in time' post.
another backup brain

I don't use any FireWire devices, so I can't confirm resetting the NV-RAM is a solution here, but the procedure listed needs some clarification.
cmd-opt-o-f will get you to Open Firmware. reset-all only accepts the change you've made and restarts. (kind of like a save-and-quit option) To reset the NV-RAM, type reset-nvram (with the hyphen) and press return. OF should respond with 'ok' and another command prompt. Then type reset-all and it'll save and restart. If you want to reset all your PRAM (not part of this hint) do reset-nvram <ok> set-defaults <ok> then reset-all.
I think I'll have to write that one down for the office.
reset-nvram
set-defaults
reset-all
OK - one to remember in the old 'backup brain'
It's all about the carrots! (caret?!)
From macworld:
Let’s say you were trying to copy OS X’s built-in webserver configuration file, httpd.conf, to your desktop to take a look at (without worrying about damaging it). This file is located in the /etc -> httpd folder, and so your copy command would look like this in Terminal (the $ is the command prompt):
$ cp /etc/httpd/httpd.conf ~/Desktop/httpd_copy.conf
But in your haste to type the command, you type htttpd instead of httpd. (Yes, I’m aware you can use the Tab key to auto-complete paths in Terminal—and I highly recommend you do so. For purposes of this hint, assume my Tab key has been broken in a tragic accident.) Terminal then helpfully tells you:
cp: /etc/htttpd/httpd.conf: No such file or directory
This is right, of course; there is no htttpd folder. One way to fix this error is by pressing the up arrow, then the back arrow to move to the proper spot in the command, and finally pressing Delete at the right spot.
But here’s a potentially easier method: use the caret character (^). Immediately after you get the error in Terminal, start the next command with the caret, type in the portion of the prior command that you want to fix, type another caret, and then type the corrected version of the command. In this example, it was the three t characters that were wrong; it should only have been two. So to fix that, you’d enter this command:
^ttt^tt
When you press Return, Terminal will re-execute the prior command, making the correction you indicated. And to let you know what happened, Terminal will also echo the corrected command that was executed:
cp /etc/httpd/httpd.conf ~/Desktop/httpd_copy.conf
You may not use this every day, but it’s a nice timesaver for those times when you do make a mistake.
I know no entries here for a while.
I wanted to remind myself to watch out for these software packages - they seem quite useful.
VJ software that could be used in regular post-production (I think)
http://www.vidvox.net/gp_index.php
and

I think I like the first one better - I like the real time spectral analysis and output over midi, and it's realtime live-cam buffer.
OK
this one's just for me!

this lets you use gmail's smtp server in case you can't use your own. _I_ have never had trouble with this - but bunches of people at the office who are on optimum.net are constantly having trouble with our smtp server at work. I have no idea what the cable company's doing to block it - but it gets blocked. Perhaps it would help if our smtp server at work used login! Hello! Stupid CI host - get your act together - why do _I_ always have to be watching over our server 24 hours a day --- isn't that what I pay _you_ for?!
The UNIX Forums - Searching for files over 30 days old in current directory
find . \( ! -name . -prune \) -mtime 30
or this one
cd /path/directory
find . -mtime +29 -print | xargs ls -d
this lists all files in a directory older than 29 days - so you know whether you want to delete or not!
