fstemp

Thought I’d post this in case anyone else has a similar problem. Our Head of School’s MacBook Pro was having problems. It was eating up disk space for no apparent reason. It seemed to be happening during the synchronization of the mobile home directory. Running lots of apps including OmniDiskSweeper were reporting that while the disk had 216GB used, it was only cataloguing 50GB. With the suggestion of a fabulous engineer at Apple, I ran the program as the superuser sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper and it found hundreds of gigabytes in the user’s desktop directory all called silly names like… .fstemp.+PHD-L-hDjzWLUASp4 … 3Z1.noindex I’m deleting those.

Learn To Party

Muppets

This is perhaps the best thing The Muppets have done since Muppets Tonight!  

The Rural Albert Advantage

The ever-wonderful, and amazing Jennifer Polk wrote a review of last night’s Rural Alberta Advantage show. It’s a show I really wish I could have gone to, but things didn’t turn out as I had planned.

I’m my brother’s snakeskin motherfucker!

Entire Cities are a band of varying mass who’s songwriter and frontman, Simon Borer, has an incredible knack of creating country-laced punk rock, that will easily have the audience dancing. The last time I saw them, they were playing Legion Hall to celebrate the release of their first full-length record, Deep River. It was about a year and half ago when they released that fabulous album, and its found a place in heavy rotation among my collection. Last night was to celebrate the release of Deep River on white vinyl. Over the past year and a half, the band has changed dramatically. Only four members are still in the band… Read More »I’m my brother’s snakeskin motherfucker!
