in David Sedaris: Undecided Voters on Todd Mundt
Reading this piece at Hill Auditorium last week (Ann Arbor says, "Hi, Todd") David was disappointed to report that he had been unable to persuade his editor to accept David's preferred phrase "a platter of human shit."

Glad to hear your implicit endorsement of Spanning Sync, which appears (per my Googling at least) to be the primary tool to enable a GCal to iCal transition. What I have yet to attempt is seeing whether the Outlook synchronization will be satisfactory to get data to my still-functional/still-valuable Treo 700W

toddmundt That's a good question. I had decent results going from Microsoft Entourage to my Treo 700p back in the day. It worked through some weird hocus pocus involving sync services on the Mac and Palm software, if I remember right. Let me know how it works!

in Rekindling my like for Mozy on Todd Mundt
I'd suspect that your music library is a fairly static data set (i.e., you're not remixing those existing tracks, are you?) to which you are periodically adding: why not just use DVD? The initial backup would be tedious, but incrementals thereafter would be relatively simple, straightforward, and cheap.

toddmundt my principle concern is offsite backup, since I have multiple hard drives at home with backups. I could burn DVD's and take them to work or to a friend's place, and that can be a great solution, but for myself, I don't want to create more physical media. Backing up to the cloud means a similarly tedious initial backup, but also just incremental backups afterward.

Thanks for commenting!
