Got this from Kaia – been a while since I did something like this.
I just changed the title to fit my current situation 😉 Also, I assumed my whole school life (from what I can remember from Nursery – right up to College)
Read MoreHow to banish locked files on an HFS network share (OS X)
One problem I experienced with my Time Capsule (TC) is because it’s basically a NAS, you really don’t have true “superuser/root” access to it.
I experienced this problem when I was fiddling with a hack on putting an Aperture Vault on a network share. Aperture by default doesn’t allow you to create a vault in such a location; but you can always move it to one (and point Aperture to it) afterwards.
What you should NOT do however, is remove and delete that vault via Aperture because it will, quite literally, fuck up the file permissions. Even a sudo command cannot vanquish this evil that we have just unwittingly created.
Here’s a description I found on the net which was exactly what I experienced (and I paraphrased it):
… the folder locks, and unlocks whenever the goddamn thing feels like it
So its locked, I go into “get info”, and I deselect the lock checkbox, .5 seconds later, the thing locks it up by itself, and if I get it unlocked if I just click on the folder, it locks up, or the lock will appear, then disappear. I restarted the TC, no hope.
Basically, I have this folder on my TC, that is beyond delete-ability, and plays stupid folder games.
Apple Talk
DJ and I were shooting the breeze and we got to talking about GTD… and ultimately what potential role Apple apps could play in getting your life organized.
I personally don’t use the GTD method, as I usually get things done either way. I’m probably not as streamlined/efficient as people who actually use GTD methods, but I’ve always thought that those methods were for people who needed to get things done – so if you’re getting things done anyway, why bother? But I digress.
Lawyers
I don’t know if I’m doing good or bad by stoking the flame on this issue, but I’ll say my 2 cents worth on this matter anyways.
I admit, it’s an issue I have nothing to do with, nor have the credibility required for my opinion to even matter. Still, I’m commenting because I can relate to the underlying objective sentiment that apparently has been lost due to personal interpretation of the parties involved. And believe me when I say it’s a similar sentiment that could be applied to ANY situation where “qualifications” is concerned.
Before anything else, I’m not sure if Punzi would want me to give him more negative exposure than he’s already gained, so this post will not have any links whatsoever save for this initial link to the his blog post which compelled me to write; and hopefully show my support to him.
Not the usual cross-post
An entry to test some cross-posting from my site.
While I do know different [free] sites have cross-posting capabilities already, I still would rather do everything through my own site.
And it’s worth mentioning how surprisingly “complex” this whole exercise turned out to be. My apologies to all the people already subscribed to my feed – as I’m sure you got some pretty funky RSS activity since last night. Hopefully that’s all sorted out by now… hopefully.
