Ooh blimey, first post in some considerable time; I’ve been a little busy.
Over the last couple of weeks I’ve had a raft of exams and various bits of revision that come with it and so haven’t really had the chance to write any new material here. But not to worry! There’s a few things I can update you on.
First is that I’ve finally managed to upgrade my MacBook’s hard drive after the screwdriver I needed arrived yesterday, a Torx T8. I ordered the screwdriver off of Maplin about a week ago and, after being out of stock for a little while, finally arrived. When it was on the floor when I opened the door in the afternoon, I whipped it open went upstairs and got straight to work. Luckily, this being the 4th or 5th time I’ve opened up the MacBook it was relatively easy and the damned screws came out with out a hitch and in less the 5 minutes, it was done.
After the hassle I had with SuperDuper before, I decided that I’d just use Time Machine to restore to the new drive and it worked a charm. For anyone interested upgrading their hard drive, here’s the guide I followed over on MacInstruct and also the article that gave me the confidence to go ahead with the Time Machine route on DuncanDavidson.com, a very informative piece and also highlights some of the things that arne’t quite right straight away such as Mail having to rebuild it’s database, a process that took about 30 seconds with my thousand odd inbox.
In other news, that damned camera’s still on the walkabouts, looks like the day-to-day shot’s are a bit busted now then. Sorry guys.
