Day 119 (04.28.2012)
Another day at the ballpark. I so love getting the chance to go see G and the rest of the team play!
Unfortunately they lost, but the boys played great and I can definitely see some improvement in their skills. G got hurt when sliding into a defective home base the inning before this play, but he still wanted to play so his position was switched from first to shortstop to give him a little more rest (he hurt his knee). His injury didn't seem to slow him down any as you can see him here backing up the second baseman. He went on to hit a triple his very next at bat.
Go G Go!

Apparently not many people know this, but you can thin your Time Machine backups right from the Finder:
1. Open a Finder window (say, for your boot drive), then trigger Time Machine.
2. Pick a backup using the time slider on the right edge of the screen.
3A. In the resulting Finder window, pop open the gear (Action) toolbar item, and choose "Delete Backup" to remove just this particular backup, for only this point in time.
or:
3B. Instead, choose "Delete All Backups of 'whatever'" to remove every backup of this item, from all time periods (Mr. Data, you're a clever man).
It's still a manual process, but it's better than risking breaking your Time Machine backup archive - or enduring the hourly pain of a nearly-full backup drive.

Invented clarinet and handwritten music. He brought home/found these "old school" headphones at his school that they were giving away for free.
Note how he has the headphones plugged in to the side of the recorder... Kids are awesome. It never ceases to amaze me what fun they can have with a box, some recycled toilet paper rolls, and some tape.... Those photos for another day...

I'm not a tidy person, but I'm quite systematic. Thus this note:
Part of my photographic workflow is visible in this illustration. By bedtime almost every day I've unloaded photographs from every camera I use, sorted them down, and labelled them so I can find them again.
Every week or two I go through the routine shown above: First I copy each day's pix to CD or DVD, then I copy them to the server on my network. (The Air's external drive's balanced on my V1's camera case, just to keep it off the carpet. Next computer I go back to a MacBook Pro.) Eventually the disk books end up in my sister's basement, so the fire that wipes out my server won't take the CD backups.
As soon as the photos are on the server, I delete them from the laptop, which has relatively limited storage. When I get a chance I'll copy the files from the server to Amazon's AWS, where they become available to me via, among other things, my tablet--pretty much wherever I go. Some of the pix are on Google Drive, which is pretty much the same story.
So every picture's saved to three locations--a CD (DVD), my server, and cloud storage. Here's the truth: I don't trust any of those methods for permanent storage. Triplication seems a reasonable strategy for preventing data loss.
==========
Server Notes: My server's a QNAP NAS, which may or may not be helpful information. It's set up as a RAID 5 array for my peace of mind. For several years I used a Windows Home Server which worked all right but the NAS is generally a better performer. The NAS is Linux based, but generally speaking the browser interface hides the details from you unless you like to tinker more directly. The software's set up to be the heart of a home media center and can support other functionality; I'm using perhaps 5% of its capabilities. But I'm happy with it.

Considering signing up with Mozy for unlimited offsite backup. Also looking into Amazon's S3 storage.
