I recently posted my simple backup script. To complete your Rambleschmack Multimedia Experience™, I’ve made a video of the backup script running and posted it on my other site. Insane, huh? Insanely good or insanely bad, though, no one’s quite sure yet.

Incidentally, you can watch the whole Apple WWDC ‘06 Keynote if you wish. Like many things Apple, it’s really awesome – as long as you can put up with the arrogant wankers. Your call. If you want the highlights package, I suggest you make sure you catch the Time Machine demo, about half way through, and the iChat demo, just before the end.

Incidentally, if you are not familiar with OS X, hit YouTube or something and have a look at Fast User Switching and Exposé. The first time I saw fast user switching, I was just stunned aye. As one who dabbles in the programming, I could really appreciate just how frikkin’ hard it would be to abstract it so well. As one who dabbles in UI design, I could appreciate what a well-conceived and executed abstraction it was. It is just brilliant. It is what technology should be – making things easier, simpler, better. Loosely related, I also found The Graphing Calculator Story to be a good read, one of an apparently endless number of fascinating Apple stories. (Hit up folklore.org to catch them all.)

And, uh, stop press: just saw this classic video of Steve Jobs on Microsoft.
