Yesterday afternoon I finally got sick and tired of my poor compy acting up on me (yes, Macs do it too, particuarly when abused.) and clean-installed. I backed up my entire directory to my iPod and reinstalled everything. It went swimmingly, I now have a crapton of free space and less garbage on my system, and the whole thing's a lot more responsive.
Found out this morning I'd managed to lose something - I'm sure there'll be more later, but my damn ssh keys that I use to keep me from having to use my password when I log into 60 different systems was under a dot-directory, invisible by default. So I get to regenerate those for the second time in two months, this time without any functioning key to support it. Suck.
Other than that, everything's backed up, so I'm sane, just annoyed that someone's backup client would get caught by that... sigh.
My iDisk is also randomly showing up as two mount-points now, probably some setting in my restored home-directory which is confusing things. These two elements get put in a support ticket. Hazards of an immature OS.
