target disk mode roxx
was able to boot the powerbook to firewire target disk mode and got mail, documents, and most of my music off of it before the hard drive got stuck. i'll let it cool down overnight and see if i can get more in the morning.
anyone know where my itunes playlists might live?
things i'm real glad fer:
- that i shove everything into Users -> Lisa -> Documents. Makes it very easy to back up.
- that i got that 200gb firewire drive last summer.
- the cube. i own four macs; three have dead hard drives. the cube is still standing!!
there is one thing i could probably use a hand with. my recording of FDDF tonight failed. i tried to copy down the ogg stream and couldn't get it to download (update july 2: got it!); even if i can, chances are not good that i can get it converted to a format that iTunes likes (this is still true). is there anyone with a way to convert ogg to mp3 who would be willing to try and pull down the show and make me an mp3 of it? it was from 6-8pm tonight.
anyway, i've got Mail kinda configured so i can feel like i'm reading it somewhat normally, and i'm getting "moved in" to my temporary digs on the cube. all of this makes me want to do something about the hard drives on the ibooks. would be nice to have a laptop right now!
