Dissecting Time Machine & Replacing It With rsync

Backup Central - Dissecting Time Machine & Replacing It With rsync

"With rsync (which is built into both MacOS, Linux, & FreeBSD, and can be installed on Windows) and a little shell scripting, you can mimic everything but the GUI and you don't need no stinking sparse files. I even wrote a little script that I'll share with you at the end of this post."

Must try this when I get some more storage.

Snippets Anywhere with AutoHotkey

Rob Henrys' Blog : Snippets Anywhere with AutoHotkey:

"Most snippet solutions work only within one specific application; however it’s sometimes desirable to have a solution that can work across multiple applications, this is where AutoHotkey can help. I’m going to describe an AutoHotkey script that will allow you to seamlessly add and use text snippets in any application. The script is made up of three parts: defining a snippet from the script, adding a snippet to the script, and reloading the script after a snippet is added."

I don't know JACK

But I hope to get to know JACK, as I work on a few audio projects, as time permits.

JACK : connecting a world of audio:

"JACK is system for handling real-time, low latency audio (and MIDI). It runs on GNU/Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, OS X and Windows (and can be ported to other POSIX-conformant platforms). It can connect a number of different applications to an audio device, as well as allowing them to share audio between themselves. Its clients can run in their own processes (ie. as normal applications), or can they can run within the JACK server (ie. as a 'plugin'). JACK also has support for distributing audio processing across a network, both fast & reliable LANs as well as slower, less reliable WANs."

List of applications supporting JACK.

QjackCtl - JACK Audio Connection Kit - Qt GUI.

The Jack Rack project.

JAMin - JACK audio mastering.

Also, a couple digital audio tools that work with JACK:

ReZound graphical audio file editor.

Ardour digital audio workstation.

Note to self: check 'em out.
