A time machine like backup solution for WindO$.
今日黃昏時份喺旺角買燒味，燒味舖門口一位婆婆正好接過袋燒味時多口問句：”有冇俾蔥油芥辣我呀？”，在舖內執料的大漢望著亞婆大聲怒道：”咪喺下面囉,’七六’ !!! “。 婆婆想也不想第一時間即時回敬大漢一句：” ‘七六’ 就哽係喺下面㗎啦~！乜你條’七六’喺上面咩?!! “. 大漢的臉閃了一閃怒容… 卻又忍不著笑咗出口，依然無言以對，只得望著婆婆收拾好餸籃離去…
其實’嗌交’係一門高深嘅學問, 街上除時臥虎藏龍。有興趣鑽研”嗌交”嘅可從 ‘嗌交’入門片- 九品芝麻官 開始.

- Forgot what we had order was annoying but it didn’t matter.
- HKD$70 for a standard bottle of Hoegaarden at 7:30pm without Happy Hour promote is not the problem.
- Added and extra drink to our bill – we’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.
- Added a HKD$3 charity charge for a “charity” with the pemphlet tugged under the bill without any visiable billboard advertisements or notice or any verble introductions anywhere anytime……
That’s some crap which I’d just counted as part of the tiny tip for this time. They ain’t getting another dime from us.
With eSATA Firewire 400 and USB 2.0 connections.
I was going to get the Studio Ed. for HKD$200 more, adding Firewire 800 connection to the spec but since the store doesn’t have it in stock and I didn’t feel like going back for it on another day, I settled on the Home Ed saving $200. Since I would also need to replace the home PC’s CRT with a 22″ LCD, this $200 seemed like it could be put into good use rightaway.
Upon startup, since the Home Ed is for PC and Studio Ed is for Mac, it came with Fat32 partition. Great but I don’t intend this drive to be used as a dual system data drive. So I tried to reformat it to +HSF Journaled instead. It didn’t work.
Called Tin, and he had me gone through Terminal mode Command prompt to have it formatted. It took 2 seconds, the magic of OS X but for some unknown reasons, it didn’t get “journaled’. Tin asked me to switch to USB and see how it goes, and sure enough Disk Utility now works on USB. Had it all done within seconds and switched back to Firewire, everything seems find.
Mucho stupido!
I have numerous el cheapo Smartdrive cases and a good old Hardbox case all Firewire equipped dated at least 3 years back and my iMac is the model before the latest one running OSX 10.5.6 and never had such problems. So much for going name brand. Should have stuck with Mac versions hardware.
Did some searching for a driver to run the Phaser 3116 monochrome laser print on my iMac with OSX 10.5.6 and found this page. One needs to have Ghostscript, Foomatic-RIP, and then the Samsung GDI package within that page installed in that order. Have the printer attached to the iMac, go to the Printer setupin OSX’s System Preferences, and select Samsung ML-1610 Foomatic/gdias the printer driver for the Phaser 3116. That’s it.
WhaUSay?!
