Christmas in November

November 16th, 2008

I’m back on the street for today’s podcast. I talk about an early Christmas present I gave Jen and the perils of moving an iTunes library. This is my sixteenth podcast for NaPodPoMo 2008.

    Restarted iTunes with Option key down -> Choose iTunes library

    Will you be my new Google, Dave?

    Sure. I’m a lot slower, but sans the ads.

    I had a problem with my hard drive filling up on my 12″PB a while back and it turned out that my computer had some errors that were filling up the console logs in the Library folder. One of them was over 4GB! Of course, that was on OS X Panther, so your mileage may vary.

    I know someone else online had a console file over 25GB. What I did was just do a Get Info on the Library folder and if it seemed crazy large, then checked each folder inside it until I narrowed it down. It’s worth a shot if the main hard drive keeps filling up because I know it slowed my machine down.

    Now, I’d say the main Christmas gift that you gave Jen wasn’t the hard drive, but a hassle free computing experience. That’s priceless!

    There are never enough wall plugs and there are never enough plugs on the power strips, either. I just have WAY too much stuff to plug in! I’d like to get a Power Strip Liberator.

    I have an APC BackUPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) with two power strips connected to it. The thing I hate about the UPS is that the battery needs to be changed but they’re rather expensive, $70+. They have to be changed every couple of years.

    When you walked by the truck and said it was UPS I was shocked to hear it idling. Glad it wasn’t UPS because they are trying to go green and not idle their trucks. At least if I remember that article I saw a while back correctly.

    Isn’t it sad that after all of these years iTunes STILL cannot have your Apple/iTunes account store your podcast subscription information. Ridiculous!

    I really enjoy hearing you. Surprisingly, people are saying they miss my daily show.
