I found the stuff about photos interesting. I'm a fairly heavy photographer and use a mac. I don't throw away anything other than pure white or pure black photos. I keep 3 copies of all my pictures, organized like he suggests - in directories by YY/MM. I rsync from the main disk to the second disk as soon as I put new photos on the first disk. I rsync from the second disk to the third disk when I think of it. I have 3 1 TB drives (the last one I bought cost C$ 120) and about 600 megs of photos. I only save the raw images, not processed images.
I like my system better than his, at least for photography. I should make more of an effort to backup other stuff (for which I do ad-hoc backups, usually with tar files).

I agree about his photography comment.
I use an 80gb harddrive with 2 partitions (one for linux and a small 15gb windows partition), so I'm more than just ruthless. I have to be resourceful. I have to be no-food-to-eat resourceful. Dumpster diving resourceful, lol.

alas, doesn't help to only have $30 left in your paypal account and no credit card either.
I do use iTerm. Terminal does not let me change the ASCII colors, which is a deal breaker for me. (Mostly because of Terminal's default for green - it's too light, and that's the color I use for comments in code.)
I've used this before to change the colors and it works well: http://ciaranwal.sh/2007/11/01/customising-colours-in-leopar...
Thanks, I'll give it a try. The last solution I found for that didn't work on Leopard.
This was worth reading just for the open command. Oh, how I have longed for exactly that! But I was woefully ignorant. Thank you, Tim, for showing me the way.
Not a word on the Cmd+Opt+O, or holding down option while double-clicking a file (closes the source window)?
How I Use My Toilet Paper:
* I fold it.
* I wipe my ass with it.

And yes I set this page up months ago as a joke (for friends and family) and have forgotten about it until ... just now.

Fold, of course (just like I mentioned). Scrunching is for people who don't mind getting their hands dirty.
I do.
I do.
The only time minimize is useful is if you are using a particular application with multiple windows open and you aren't going to be working in one of those windows but don't want to close it because you might come back to it later. In addition to getting it off your screen, this is also helpful so that when you are hitting CTRL-` to switch between the app's windows the window you aren't working in doesn't come up. But if you want to get the whole application out of the way, just use hide.
