Now currently converting 2 laptops to Ubuntu. Lately I've been
promoting solution to run Windows on VirtualBox. The catch is of
course, less virus threat & VB snapshot. Compiz effect also gives
bonus to attraction.

P/s: mood is unhappy because my huge hfs filesystem is corrupt due to
improper usb removal

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

DATE=`date +%y%m%d`
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!
