This post is scheduled to go live on 11/11/11 at 11:11. The next opportunity for a date with the same six digits is 100 years from now in 2111. For the day, month, and year to be the same, that will occur in a little more than a year on 12/12/12 at 12:12. But then… the next one like that is a long time away and is left as an exercise for the reader.

We had a lot of fun accompanying Dan, Janet, and the girls to the local pumpkin patch farm. I took about 100 photos and got one shot of the two girls sitting together. They may be twins but they are independently minded.  Elizabeth & Carolyn sitting together for a change  This one is really heavy, but I like it  I like this monster one, but I need a little help holding it  Dan, Carolyn, Janet, Elizabeth Since my disk crash in November of 2009 and subsequent implementation of a disk backup and archiving strategy, I’ve had no further disk crashes. I have, however, followed my backup plan carefully. OSX Time Machine runs hourly and allows me to recover past versions of files. For a while, I could go back over a year, but lately because of churn of fairly large files, the earliest backup set I can recover goes back about 6 months. An automated clone backup of my boot disk (using Carbon Copy Cloner) runs every evening, and I test that periodically by booting from it. Finally, on a monthly basis I make a clone of my boot disk to a drive that I keep offsite. This is inconvenient, but I like the protection it provides from some types of catastrophe. I began to realize there were some shortcomings to this plan. First of all, I had no backups for my laptop. Secondly, I foresaw running out of room for my video files (I record a lot of HD and I’m kind of a hoarder). And thirdly I had security risks with the laptop and the archive disk. I bought one more disk drive and ended up with this configuration: I have about 200GB free on the boot disk, but have 150GB of video files that need to be moved to the 3TB media disk. I have lots of room left on the 3TB media disk, the Time machine backup disk, and the laptop. By the time I run out of room, new disk drives will be available at far higher capacities. |
