i dunno. i mean, i cant justify the expense of a macbook pro, but i didnt really expect the powerbook to struggle with what seems a relatively light load

i might try installing it on the dell, be interesting to compare performance for it

yea, theres lotsa different ways of keeping the cpu down, but, you know, "deleting any system-draining plug-ins", isnt really what im looking to do!

you know what i'm talkin about. when you try to turn the volume up or down with the keyboard and it responds like 10 seconds after you press the button, and moves one tick at a time, making a broken "thup thup thup thup thup" sound.
FOR YEARS NOW
(maybe this has changed with the intelbooks but AAARRRGH)

the "genius" was all "oh yeah, why would you need a travel drive, you can just use your wireless w/ .mac" ... i worry that this company panders a bit too much to the "sit around in a cafe doing fucking nothing all day" crowd.
someone recommend me a good sync utility that's cheap (willing to pay $40 or less, i guess, for shareware but not $100) so that i can get my files in order.
― vahid (vahid), Sunday, 4 February 2007 07:34 (seventeen years ago) link
i just want to be able to open an application that just picks the newest revision of files off the drive and my hd and updates/overwrites the older ones.
― vahid (vahid), Sunday, 4 February 2007 07:51 (seventeen years ago) link
i've got a directory on my computer that's got everything that's on the travel drive on it ... looks just like the thing.
so before i go to bed at night, do an rsyncx with my directory as source and my traveldrive as destination and "folder contents only".
when i get home from work (after playing w/ travel drive contents at work) do a rsyncx with the traveldrive as source and HD as destination.
should i do "update" or "two-way"??
― vahid (vahid), Sunday, 4 February 2007 07:57 (seventeen years ago) link
In the situation outlined, it surely shouldn't matter which you do, because only the files in one place should have changed, so there won't be any changes to sync in the opposite direction.

and to run both scripts at the same time and not do anything in between.
and to do this on an extremely regular basis.
― vahid (vahid), Sunday, 4 February 2007 20:16 (seventeen years ago) link
first, do a two-way sync to get everything on the memory stickas new as possible.
next, just wipe everything off my harddisk.
then, use rsyncx on a daily basis just to back up my memory stick, and only work with files on the memory stick.

here is the basic situation:
1) i've got about a gigabyte of stuff i take back and forth with me between school and home. lessons, diagrams, worksheets, gradebooks, spreadsheets and so on.
2) i only edit a few items daily, but i need to make sure that everything is up-to-date on both laptop and memory stick as often as possible, especially the gradebook and spreadsheets.
3) when i am at work i work completely off the memory stick because i am hopping between 4 different offices.
4) when i am at home i plug the memory stick in the powerbook, but i don't want to leave it there for very long because it's really awkward to have a memory stick poking out of the side of the powerbook and i mostly work with the powerbook on my lap or in bed or on a crowded kitchen table.
so ... what should i do? mind you, i'm a complete n00b when it comes to rsync and unix-y stuff.
