  1. Creating timestamped filename is so trivial: BACKUP_FILE=$HOME/Pictures_sync_$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M).log [http://ss64.com/bash/date.html] #bash
  2. Cygwin is such a great idea! Windows UI (even though not flawless) & *NIX commandline: great combo!
  3. I know very little #bash #scripting, but even what little I know delivers so much bang-for-the-buck. Rsync---dated though it may b---rocks!
  4. #bash #script I wrote a while back mirrors the current state of my photo dir 2 my Drobo, with full timestamped log files. Usage is trivial!
  5. #Scripting is so useful, I sometimes wonder how non-techies get through life...
  6. Is there a download mgr that's scriptable? I.e., shud b able 2 control its operation by invoking commands from commandline. Or something.
  7. Scheduled updates (Twitter web or TweetDeck) would be really useful... any tool recommendations, tweeple? Alternative is a homegrown script.
  8. Pic-a-day: A close-up of the stamen of a flower. http://bit.ly/936WbH #picaday #nature #macro
  9. @doctorow Cause that doesn't have the same impact ;-).
  10. @mycameraandi I think Flickr tags make a difference when somebody goes searching for photos. Otherwise, probably not so much. #flickr
  11. Presentation of the recently-announced (by Google) Go programming language: http://bit.ly/4I68ss
  12. Pic-a-day: Crashing waves (at 2nd Beach, Olympic Peninsula, WA) http://bit.ly/6AFqBj #picaday #nature #landscape
  13. I have started tagging my photos that have seen 0 modifications after coming out of my camera. Here are some of them: http://bit.ly/6nNAJy
  14. Pic-a-day: It sucks! http://bit.ly/76F3E5 #picaday #nature #macro (Pls RT if u like)
  15. @enlightphoto Nice pic! Here's my own attempt at a wave pic (different setting/composition, of course): http://bit.ly/6AFqBj
  16. I love my #Drobo (so far ;-), but the price ($400) is utterly ridiculous. Used w/ Vista SP1 I've never seen avg. transfer speeds > 18 MB/s.
  17. Grrr... shopping for clothes... grrr...
  18. Been on the road again today for over 2 hrs now... Another on-the-road day begins...
  19. Btw, didn't mean to offend anybody w my "Holy Smokes" quip. While I'm at it... Holy Shit: what He passeth.
  20. Holy Smokes (Jesus' favourite brand, btw)! Seconds after my last msg Flickr stats showed 11 new hits (now 15). This Internet thing is fast!
