Updating my OnePlus One recently to Cyanogen OS 12 I had to reset my phone a few times before everything ran smoothly … so I wrote a pair of scripts to help me copy things around.
It uses the Android SDK’s ADB tool to do the copying since the Android File Transfer Tool for Mac has a laughable quality for Google’s standards.
Update 2018-11-22:
Since the scripts became more sophisticated I moved them to a proper project on GitHub.
There’re three types of mass storage: NAS, SAN and NSA 😂

Just found a nice trick on TUAW on how to make the OS X Activity Monitor show graphs in place of its app icon.
If you find yourself–like me–in the situation that your Mac has crashed and you want to retrieve the crash reports (some call them logs 😉 )? Well, there are basically two ways.
You can look them up with the “Console” tool (find it in
/Applications/Utilities/Console
or with Spotlight). Open the “System Diagnostic Reports” section on the left and find an entry similar to
Kernel_<date>_<your_pc_name>.panic
at the top.
You can also find these reports as text files under
/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports
with the same names. OS X will open them with the Console tool per default.
Cheers. 😀

If you find yourself writing Shell scripts have a look at Google’s awesome style guide.
Git was written to manage code, but Richard Hartmann presents a whole range of projects and tools that use Git for all sorts of things. 😀
From tracking personal notes to managing your website, wiki, and blog over tracking system and personal configuration files to managing videos, photos and other large files and making system backups, a lot of tools have been grown around the git ecosystem to help you support most tasks of your digital life. This talk will show you a lot of neat tools and tricks and it’s highly likely that you will adopt at least one of the various solutions.

Watch it on YouTube or get it from the Debian Archives.
If you must use XML in your APIs … OK, I can handle that. But if your responses look like this … I hate you!
WHY?!?!
System administrators are like janitors for the Internet. They have keys to everything, they make sure you’re warm and safe and if they do their job well you won’t even know they’re there.
… and like all people keeping infrastructure running they are grossly under-payed. 😉
