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:
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.

I think for a small company that could be great, but I doubt it would scale very well.

Also, a small company with tech-literates. The thought of how this would be enacted by some people I've worked with gives me hives.
