    Force ntp-based update of system clock in shell

    I suppose I could hup ntpd, but I was hoping for a "more elegant" solution (if one exists!) One problem with that is that I've spent so much time in Slackware recently that I've forgotten where the equivalent rc.local file is on OS X :/

    Aperture 2 and RAW+JPEG camera modes (need advice)

    I'm shooting with a Canon EOS 20D and importing into Aperture 2 (which I love!) The EOS 20D has the ability to shoot in RAW+JPEG in the "Creative Zone" modes (i.e., P, Tv, Av, M and A-DEP). The quality of the JPEG image can be independently modified in the range S-coarse to L-fine. Since...

    Force ntp-based update of system clock in shell

    My battery's dead and upon resetting the PMU, or unplugging my iBook from the wall, the system clock resets. For some silly reason, getting the latest time from the system-configured ntp server doesn't happen at boot. How do I force ntp update on boot? I can assume that I'm plugged into...

    How to partition new external drive

    500 GB is the current 'bang for your buck price-point', meaning the amount you pay per GB bottoms out on 500 GB drives. For cost, you probably made the right choice. I recently got 2 500 GB USB drives, and then plugged four more SATA II 500 GB drives into my Slackware server for network storage...

    Xgrid

    I've set it up, but have not yet had an occasion to use it. I feel that it would only be at all useful for really huge compiles. I'm afraid I can't quantify "really huge" for you, though. Check the ADC for notes on XGrid. PS I just noticed you posted this in "OS X Server". I'm not playing...

    Don't you hate it when (Time Machine)

    Ha ha! Well, I suppose I compound the problem by renicing `backupd` (as it hogs my system resources). But...still...

    Don't you hate it when (Time Machine)

    Don't you hate it when a Time Machine incremental backup takes so long, over an hour in fact, that it starts the next backup immediately after ending the previous backup? I need a new machine. :mad:
