"When you find yourself in some far off place, And it causes you to rethink some things, You start to sense that slowly you're becoming someone else, And then you find yourself. When you make new friends in a brand new town, And you start to think about settlin' down, The things that would have been lost on you are now clear as a bell, And you find yourself, that's when you find yourself. Where you go through life so sure of where youre headed, And you wind up lost and it's the best thing that could have happened, 'Cause sometimes when you lose your way it's just as well, Because you find yourself. yeah, that's when you find yourself. When you meet the one that you've been waitin' for, And she's everything that you want and more, You look at her and you finally start to live for some one else, And then you find yourself, that's when you find yourself. We go through life so sure of where we're headed, And we wind up lost and it's the best thing that could have happened, 'Cause sometimes when you lose your way it's really just as well, Because you find yourself, yeah, that's when you find yourself... ~ Brad Paisley - Find Yourself"

Mobile Me and Backups

This is just a quick rant on how Mobile me is definitely not something that most users who want schedule backups, that actually work, to be using. Why, well I have SuperDuper! all set to backup my Documents, Photos, and Amazon purchased music every two hours, since I know it won’t change that often.

While this SHOULD work, it is still syncing it’s initial attempt to copy those items. Now, granted, there are 8200 items, and it does total to just over 4GB, but still, the initial sync should have been completed by now. I did this about 24 hours ago, and it’s still not done, this is just too fucking ridiculous for me.

I’ll probably post over at macgasm a more extensive rant/review of Mobile me, but that will be forthcoming. I want to see how long this initial backup and several syncs end up working in the long run. So, if you’re looking for an affordable backup solution you might want to look at Amazon’s S3, if available. It’s roughly the same cost and it actually works with JungleDisk for automated backups.
