17:38.17 | feutetejsd | hey wps, do you use THunderbird for your mail? |
17:38.35 | wps | no, I use Mail.app |
17:39.55 | feutetejsd | ah, ok |
21:24.33 | feutetejsd | wow: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051031/tc_nm/media_apple_dc |
21:33.16 | wps | crazy, huh |
21:33.21 | wps | I was surprised |
21:33.30 | feutetejsd | yeah, me too |
21:34.01 | wps | I had to take my powermac in to get a squeaky fan checked |
21:34.09 | wps | it's going to be a long 2-3 business days |
21:34.10 | wps | :( |
21:35.56 | feutetejsd | d'oh |
21:36.19 | feutetejsd | just start spraying a little WD-40 in there....that'll fix 'er right up |
21:36.49 | wps | I was going to try something like that myself, but it's the back fans—behind the CPU, so I can't get to them |
21:37.07 | wps | it's been squeaking for quite a while, but I haven't been able to find a time that I could be without it for several days |
21:37.28 | wps | I still haven't, but finally decided that I better just suck it up and get it in |
21:37.41 | wps | in the event that the fan might be wearing out |
21:37.46 | feutetejsd | I was mostly just kidding about the WD-40 ;) |
21:37.55 | wps | don't want to risk that with as much as I paid for the unit |
21:38.03 | feutetejsd | hehe...no kidding |
21:56.28 | wps | 10.4.3's out |
21:57.05 | feutetejsd | cool...of course, I'm still on 10.3.9, but good to know nonetheless :D |
21:57.18 | wps | yeah |
22:01.15 | wps | WAHOO! |
22:01.23 | wps | they fixed one of my must frustrating bugs!!! |
22:01.25 | wps | "Pressing Tab while composing a Mail message now inserts a tab character, instead of four spaces." |
22:02.56 | feutetejsd | yay! did they fix the fact that if you save an attachment in a location where another file of the same name exists, it automatically renames the new file to filename.1 instead of asking what to do? |
22:03.05 | feutetejsd | that issue alone made me leave Mail.app |
22:03.10 | wps | ha ha |
22:03.13 | wps | don't know |
22:03.16 | wps | haven't read that |
22:03.18 | wps | so probably no |
22:03.28 | feutetejsd | nice |
22:03.37 | feutetejsd | it's the only app I've ever seen that behaves that way |

22:30.11 | wps | lame… lame… lame |
22:30.11 | wps | rysync still broken |
22:30.23 | feutetejsd | in what way? |
22:30.45 | wps | hands when synchronizing with extended attributes across mounted volumes |
22:30.47 | wps | arg! |
22:30.50 | wps | oops |
22:30.51 | wps | typo |
22:31.07 | wps | hangs (errors out) when synchronizing with extended attributes across mounted volumes |
22:31.24 | wps | which is one of the best uses for rsync |
22:31.34 | wps | synchronizing to an external drive |
22:31.34 | wps | duh |
22:31.55 | feutetejsd | educate me about what extended attributes are... |
22:32.11 | wps | stuff like resource forks |
22:32.15 | feutetejsd | i use it all the time to backup data to an external drive and it works like a champ |
22:32.19 | feutetejsd | oh... |
22:32.28 | wps | used to be used extensively pre version 10 |
22:32.42 | feutetejsd | I'm doing this on Linux, so extended attributes haven't ever been a concern for me |
22:32.42 | wps | some still existed with the first versions for 10 |
22:32.55 | wps | but have mostly been phased out by now (10.4) |
22:33.01 | feutetejsd | yeah |
22:33.06 | wps | the only place where I run into it now is with fonts |
22:33.17 | feutetejsd | got it... |
22:33.21 | wps | if you rysnc fonts, they turn into useless files |
22:33.41 | feutetejsd | d'oh |
22:33.56 | feutetejsd | what if you zip them first and then rsync? |
22:34.23 | wps | that'd work |
22:34.37 | wps | the problem that I run into is that I sync my home dir between my home and work computers daily |
22:34.55 | wps | so, I have to remember to manually move fonts when there are changes |
22:35.19 | wps | there are hardly ever changes though because I keep most fonts elsewhere |
22:35.45 | wps | so, it's not a big deal |
22:36.08 | wps | the place where I really want it though is I would like to start using rysync for my system-wide backups |
22:36.16 | wps | but won't without extended attributes |
22:36.24 | wps | I am currently using Synk |
22:36.44 | feutetejsd | hmmmm....not sure what to tell you then |
22:36.59 | feutetejsd | having never dealt with rsync and ext. attributes and all |
22:37.05 | wps | but Synk's run-automatically-daemon doesn't work with Unsanities clear dock hack |
22:37.12 | feutetejsd | d'oh |
22:37.15 | wps | ha ha |
22:37.22 | wps | and I am not willing to live without the hack! |
22:37.25 | feutetejsd | hehe |
22:37.46 | wps | the nice thing about being able to use rsync (some day) is that I could have it run automatically with launchd |
22:37.55 | wps | right now, I am running the backup manually |
22:38.01 | wps | oh, well… I'll keep waiting |
22:38.37 | feutetejsd | what a pain |
