I am leaning towards keeping my Nalgene bottles.  I think the recent media scare is just a scare.  There is so much pollution from polymers in our homes I think the Nalgene stuff is insignificant.

It is so easy with Lingon. You can specify a program to run periodically, at login, when a file changes, at boot, whatever.

Yojimbo doesn’t play nice with time machine. It would be nice if bare bones provided some sort of backup script, but I could not find one, so I gimbled one together.

You sure need some understanding of IT to install JungleDisk.  Too many steps creating amazon S3 accounts, keys and S3 Access IDs etc. I think I can finish it, but I am inventor on several  security related patents so I have an inkling of what is going on.  Pity the poor layerperson who just wants [...]
