Fusion Can Explode

WARNING: Do not ever put your MacBook in the bag while sleeping IF you have VMWare Fusion running. It'll burn or may explode! Because I did zipped it in my bag for say 30 minutes and the heat just scares shit out of me.

backup-sms.sh

I always have the feeling that huge sms.db will slow down SMS application startup. So I created a script to be run in Terminal and I wish I can do an application for this.

#!/bin/sh

# backup-sms.sh

echo "${DATE}"

if test -f /var/mobile/Library/SMS/sms.db.$DATE

then echo "Today's backup already exists."; exit; fi

if ! test -f /var/mobile/Library/SMS/sms.db.$DATE

then cp -npv /var/mobile/Library/SMS/sms.db /var/mobile/Library/SMS/sms.db.$DATE; fi

ls -lrt /var/mobile/Library/SMS/

if test -f /var/mobile/Library/SMS/sms.db.$DATE

then echo "Today's backup successful"; fi

Update: Something fishy here. Applications installed by Cydia do not appear on the springboard...

Aperture: A tiny thing that saves a lot of time.

Just for expressing an excitement. A new thing I just discovered and love about Aperture.

I have a lot of pictures and my last trip to Langkawi produced more than 1700 shots - and my mother wants them ALL! So as I started to export hundreds of pictures, I went through one by one to reject bad photos - even the exporting is still running (right now). Suddenly I came to a photo that attracts me. After a simple edit, I decided to upload it to Flickr and this is the good part. I don't have to wait for the earlier exporting process to complete before exporting a new picture. It really saves my time.

What a good software design in customer point of view!
