That's what I mean. I switched the 2G in the new mini for the 8G in the old mini today.
And, can I just say, the difference in the process of upgrading memory in the 2011 model is as it should be! The mess that is the mid-2009 model (much as I love the onboard superdrive) is unconscionable! Bad developers. No Biscuit.
I bit down hard yesterday and just bought the external superdrive at the apple store. I really have got to move on with my life!
The time I spent trying to make things work and being frustrated when they didn't was truly not worth it.
I was so excited when I read in the new mini manual about using another apple device as the drive. PERFECT, I thought, grab me a short firewire cable and we are good to go!
But no, says the very nice young genius. You can connect the two minis for some stuff, but not the stuff you want.
It just broke my spirit. But, probably in a good way.
Cool. I set up the appropriate port forwarding in my router and now the new NAS is working like my own private Dropbox.
That's awesome.
I am spending too much money on tech these days, but losing the laptop hasn't made me want the big new NAS less.
now the new NAS is working like my own private Dropbox.
Nice. Is there a way to share files on it securely with the outside world?
I don't know. I don't use the public folder feature of Dropbox, so I haven't looked for it with this. My guess would be no.
Well, maybe you could set up the FTP server for anonymous access to a particular folder in your sync folder. I haven't looked into the FTP and SFTP servers yet.
It seemed like there was something in the documentation about using it that way. But I may be conflating things I'd looked at. I remember thinking it wasn't an issue for me because I have data limits, so I really wouldn't be using it that way for any external access. But I guess I probably could.
Why is the mac laughing at me sometimes? That seems like a strange choice for an audio cue for whatever it's cueing.
Also, will I need a Windows emulator to run Quickbooks Premier? Or would my company file be readable by the Quickbooks for Mac version?
I bought another Sony to replace my dead one, but I'm already having buyers remorse that I didn't just go all the way over to the dark side and get a macbook. Unfortunately, Sony was having a clearance sale that took an additional 25% off the refurb prices, putting the vaio cost at three hundred dollars under the macbook for the same specs. But I am liking the studio machine, which I am temporarily treating like my own personal machine until I get back up and running. I will rededicate it to audio later. But it sure is nice now.
what do you all think about email transparency like this:
[link]
apparently almost all email sent in the company is encouraged to be posted to a company-wide archives list.
I could see it working pretty well, depending on the setup and how difficult it was to view/favorite/search. Handy to my have right people saving the same email.
I don't send personal emails from work, normally. I'd probably just change the few bitchy emails to coworkers to IM or something.
