SuperDuper

Ok, so I just started using Superduper. What's the best setting for back up?

Should I copy each file, that's what I did, or make a Disk Image?

Is one option better than the other?

What do you do with WIP?

I have a problem organizing Work-In-Progress. While plenty of my work is electronic (easy - just close the folder and it's handy to open again) a signifigant portion consists of large (11"X17" up to 30"X42") sheafs of heavy drawings, and an associated stack of reference books, notebooks, reference drawings, and other cumbersome objects.

Yojimbo Data Loss

I upgraded to the Leopard-Intel MacBook in November.

All of my webarchives are now blank. Everything that I've made before or since the upgrade is gone. The lable of the file is the only thing left.

The Yojimbo website mentions nothing about it. Thier support forum looks kind of clunky (I'm no computer geek, though).

As soon as I can get the Mac Book hooked up to the internet I will load the Release Date: 12/05/2007 - Yojimbo 1.5 update.

How should I proceed? I'm dumb about computers so any perpective would help.

Thanks.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
