| mac, sysadmin

I’ve seen a few people post lists of their favourite/essential apps, so here’s mine 🙂 When I’m setting up a new Mac, or reinstalling macOS on my Mac mini or MacBook Pro, I have a list of the apps that I install first: Chrome – I could use Safari for the first few downloads, but […]

Backups, 2018 edition

It’s been a few years since I described my set up which included Windows machines, Western Digital MyBook drives, and Backblaze. Since then we’ve retired all the Windows machines, and the MyBook drives are gathering dust – we’re now all MacOS, iOS and ChromeOS, with backups going to two Netgear NAS boxes but Backblaze is […]

Net Neutrality

The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) and US government in general have a disproportionate control over the Internet, so even though this should only be of interest to Americans it’s something which will no doubt impact us all … but we have no voice in these proceedings. From Wikipedia: On January 31, 2015, AP News reported […]

Tech Resolutions

A bit late but still worth considering as we start the new year! I was listening to episode 234 of the Mac Power Users podcast, and their guest Bradley Chambers talked about his Technology resolutions for 2015 blogpost. It’s worth reading his post, but here’s my summary of what I need to add to my […]

Almost 3 years ago I posted a list of the podcasts that I follow, so an update is long overdue. I listen to a lot of podcasts, and I’ve promised to share my list with a few people, so the list is below. (Note: some of the feeds may be dormant/dead but I’ve not removed […]

World Backup Day is coming!

March 31st (that’s this coming Saturday!) is World Backup Day – make sure you have your computers (Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.) backed up, and that they continue to backup automagically on a regular basis! I use Backblaze (read more about my backup process) but there are other tools out there – the important thing is […]

After listening to Martin Bailey‘s latest podcast (#293) and recent discussions with a couple of people, I thought I’d document my backup strategy/workflow. (I think I’ve done this before but that’s bound to be before I completed my move to the MacBook Pro.) Camera to MBP The first step is to copy the new photos […]

Living with Lion

I upgraded my Mac Book Pro to OS X Lion last Wednesday evening; on the whole, I’m not convinced it was the effort. It’s not bad but it’s really not much of an improvement over Snow Leopard. In fact it’s hard to think of much that’s changed for the better. (Hmmm; whole disk encryption.) On […]
