On a few recent Mac Geek Gab episodes I’ve mentioned my current backup strategy and more than a few listeners have asked me to document this somewhere. I figured this blog was as good a place as any.
Starting in 1995 and up until February when Apple’s Time Capsule came out, I was a died-in-the-wool Retrospect [...]

I have not one but TWO MUG appearances this month.
The first is in person at the Seacoast MUG here in Rye, New Hampshire on Tuesday, May 13th. I’ll be presenting my “Running Your Mac Lean, Clean & Mean” session that I did this past Macworld Expo, and perhaps adding in some stuff we simply couldn’t [...]

I’m talking about how I just came back from Macworld Expo and nearly everyone I know who was at the show is now quite ill. One associate is even in the hospital due [...]

Next week is Macworld Conference and Expo in San Francisco, and I’ve got a few things happening, including being a part of the Conference Faculty teaching a session. They are:

This morning, I spent a few minutes in Spotlight preferences and realized what happened: Previously, iChat logs were classified as “Documents,” [...]

Just wanted to let you all know that I’ll be doing the “live” Typical Mac User Podcast with Victor Cajiao tonight at 8pm EST. Because it’s live, you can text/call-in with questions, and details are available at their site. Should be quite fun, and I’m very much looking forward to it.
