Silly VFAT Filesystem..

Case-sensitivity is painful with VFAT.. I would have put a real filesystem on my new external hard drive, but I thought it would be nice to plug it into anyone’s box and be able to read/write.. Syncing up my audio directory failed when many upper-case ‘CD1’, ‘CD2’, etc directories were created in lower-case, as well as rsync wanting to iterate through every file again.. The magic:

sudo mount -o uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,iocharset=utf8 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/
rsync --modify-window=1 -rtv ~/media/audio/ /mnt/media/audio/

Book Meme

Here are the rules:
* Grab the nearest book.
* Open it to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
* Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
