You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Whew! Version issue! Power down from defcon bears.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Is that higher or lower than defcon lions or tigers? (oh my!)

OK, I have no idea what ita has posted about for like, the last fifty posts. Hoping my question is easier!
I have a mac. I have an external hard drive (though may need to replace it--it fell off the bookshelf). I have wifi, and the house is also ethernet-connected. I want to make sure my shit is backed up without having to actually remember to hook up an external hard drive and say "backup!" to it. Because I can do that now, and tell you my last backup was...months and months ago. (Bad, I know)
What's the best way? I'm willing to buy or replace anything but the computer! :)
Other question in a week or two will be about how to print wirelessly, but I'll wait to see what kind of printer I get from new work.

Backing a Mac up wirelessly to a Time Capsule using Time Machine is super easy. Going to an external hard drive that's hooked up to your router (or is otherwise available on the network, I suppose) is not much harder

What version of OS X are you running, meara?

If your wifi access point is a fairly recent Apple model it has a USB port in the back into which you can plug an external drive. You can then use that drive for Time Machine. That's how we back up my wife's MacBook Air at our place.
If not, the previously mentioned Time Capsule is the easiest answer, if a bit pricey.

Yeah, I figured Time Capsule was pricey, and last I checked (granted, a year ago or so), a lot of people were complaining that theirs had failed quickly.
Sadly, my router, though somewhat recent, does not have a USB port, just ethernet. Can I get a (decently priced) hard drive with an ethernet port, does that exist? (I figure I should replace the hard drive anyway). Or should I get a regular cheap hard drive and buy a new router with a USB port? (I recall searching some websites for routers with USB, and it was surprisingly hard!)

-t, how would I get a hard drive "otherwise connected" than to the router?
ita, I've currently got 10.6.8, but I'm planning to update with Lion pretty soon, probably. But want to backup before I do that, just in case! :)

Mounted on a computer that can be counted on to always to be available in the network, for example. I don't recommend it.
