Honeycut - Exodus Honey

Anyone who has turned on a brand new Mac, or installed a fresh copy of OS 10.5 or later should be familiar with this song.  I liked it so much that I queried the googles to find out who it was.

The really good stuff starts about 3:15 into the song, and not surprisingly it’s that section from which Apple pulled audio for their Welcome to Mac OS music.

The rest of their music isn’t really up my alley, but this little diddy is catchy as hell.

In the days leading up to Easter, a certain torrent community ran freeleech (uploading counts towards your ratio but downloading does not count against it) for all FLAC audio files on the site. This is what I ended up with: 40.35 GB of data from 113 torrents. Most of it was downloaded to replace existing crappy mp3 files.My quest for a 100% Apple Lossless iTunes Library is now 113 releases closer to completion.

High-res This is what my browser looks like when I’m frantically trying to recover an OS X file system on which resides the Final Cut Pro projects for several high school students. It’s moments like these that remind me that my job is about helping kids learn by making sure the tools they use are operational and it’s not about dollars and cents and numbers and politics.

High-res I’m trying, I really am, to see things from the perspective of you “non-hiding” dock people, but after a few days I’m still not feeling it. At this, the smallest size, I am completely unable to read what the badge says on that last app (Transmission), and I don’t like that many apps (including my browser) refuse to load full screen behind the dock. I’m going to try it for a few days at the smallest size that I can comfortably read the Transmission badge (which is about 75% larger than what you see here), but that eliminates even more useful space for full screen apps, so I’m not sure I’ll enjoy this any better.  I do predict that by the weekend I’ll be back to auto-hiding a fairly large dock. Of course, I do most of my work from the keyboard anyway (hooray Quicksilver) so much of this is irrelevant, but I still am trying to see things from your perspectives.

High-res Uh… so Mac OS… which is it?  11.31GB or 75.1GB? Judging by the fact that it’s still copying and I’m now at 19GB and counting, I’ll have to assume it’s 75.1.  I have no idea how that’s even possible, but after the copy is done I’ll be comparing the folders.  First I’ll try a diff command, but that might be a bit unwieldy for such a large discrepancy, so I’ll probably end up using Compare Folders.app.
